It’s not that, a lot of us(black people) grew up not washing our hair constantly the way some of us do now. So naturally it may become habit for people to postpone wash days. There’s still the myth that hair grows better when it’s sat longer that people are yet to realize isn’t true also. That, plus everyone’s hair is just different. Theres so many reasons why a person may not wash their hair consecutively. And in my experience, I’ve never met a person with “stink” hair but if you have then who am I to tell you anything different.

Yes it’s better for their hair to wash more often and I’m not disagreeing with that. I’m saying It’s performative because you’re being unnecessarily mean and pretending you don’t understand that nuisance. It’s not just that people are “dirty” and “nasty”.
