I'm in a somewhat different panic, because I really feel like I don't have time left to fix anything.

what would it say if it also has shampoo in it?

Sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate - those are the two most common detergents in shampoo and conditioner.

sumi,

let me clarify: I think almost all of them have shampoo unless they are "natural" or are dry.

In the Black Hair internet spaces they don't necessarily advocate no shampoo (although many strongly do), they say get rid of the SLS shampoos. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS ) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) - are demonized in the natural hair care communities because they supposedly have negative effects (potentially so) on our health. But these ingredients also tend to mess up curly hair with prolonged use.

Years ago, I made my own conditioner or I would use a natural shampoo/rinse (apple cider vinegar) to help my scalp and hair. That got my hair out of its emergency state.

Sophia,

I'm reading your links now!

Thanks Sophia. So, those posts were helpful. I am still not sure what is best for me to do in terms of my decision-making.

Is it better for the student not to pass the class and force her to take the class again? She wants to graduate this term, but that proposition will be put off by another term or more if she has to take this class over.

Or is it better to force her to go through some training and rewrite the paper?

Meh. I was up until 2:30 AM. Woken up at some undetermined hour by distressed Clio with her head caught in a bag handle. Got up at regular time but was 25 minutes late for work because I am a slow moving land mammal today.

Le nub, I liked one of the suggestions in that link where the student has to redo the paper in order to pass, but will stll get a zero grade for the assignment. That seems like a decent balance of mercy and consequences, given that it's a student you think merits another chance.

Or is it better to force her to go through some training and rewrite the paper?

This, if she honestly didn't know she shouldn't do that. If she knew darn well what plagiarism is and that it's wrong, and did it anyway? I guess it would depend on her attitude. I might be harsh.

Do you wear the gloves outside of driving?

I wear gardening gloves doing yardwork. Otherwise on the rare occasions I'm outside in the sun, like going for a walk, I'll wear sunscreen. I don't do outdoor sports so it's not a question.

My teenage aversion to lying out in the sun for hours to get a tan seems to have paid off, as my skin seems to me to be pretty good for 52. Avoiding sun damage by accident! Aside from that, it's all genetics, which I can't take much responsibility for.

Yeah, this is me. Refusal to lie out in the sun, plus a night job throughout my 20s that had me sleeping during the sunniest part of the day.

Sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate

Sulfates are very harsh and drying. Curly hair tends to be dry anyway, so they're especially bad for curly hair. Mine looks much better when I avoid sulfates. It's suffering right now because I spent two years dying it red, which was really tough because the gray didn't want to hold on to the color. It's a frizzy mess. I've contemplated cutting it all off and starting over. It would almost certainly be healthier if I let it grow out gray, but I'm just not ready to be gray-haired yet.

I think in this circumstance, having her redo the assignment and still giving her a zero is a punishment without benefit. She would not pass the class if she got a zero for the assignment. it's the final paper and is too much of her grade.
