I remember a similar post too!

I found that you-tube actually has some very informative videos on hair and perhaps in a pinch you could watch those until you can get to a hairstylist.
I also talked with a few salons that do AA hair and they were very open to teaching anyone that needed to know, it may seem a silly question or a hard one to ask, but you will be surprised with the positive reactions within that community. Afterall, hairdressers make the best therapists! HA HA (that's a joke)
