sorry, can't really help here. i wash it, wrap it in a towel, then brush it a little and throw it back in a ponytail or use a barrette to hold the front parts back so i can wear it long. i have to admit, i stopped blow drying long before i couldn't due to the hands, decided it was healthier for my hair to just let it dry naturally.

may not be all fancy looking, but its nice and soft, no dry ends. i spend the money on a mild shampoo (nondetergent jason, or alba, or burt's bees) and a good conditioner. of course the better the product, the less i use, so really maybe not any more expensive in the long run.

i pulled a ligament in my ulnar wrist washing my long hair at one point, and thus shortly after, got my hair cut much shorter, shoulder length.

this is one thing i've just decided not to fight. but i don't have any balding spots. if i did, i realize it would be a bigger issue.
