Detangling in the shower in the best thing that ever happened to my NG!!

[lilamae]

There were a couple of ladies on this site who said they only detangle in the shower under running water. I have been doing this for the past two weeks and it is a GODSEND!

My new growth is so off the chain (almost 2 inches) and I was going to break down and relax early but this is allowing me to strecth longer.

I co wash every other day with Aveda Brilliant and make sure i saturate the NG, then I rinse and detangle under running water with a seamless comb.

My hair is pulled back into a ponytail with so many waves it will make you sea sick!

Just thought i'd share. Don't sleep on this method.

Anytime I wash or CW my hair, I do this...it is a lifesaver!

This was one of the first things I learned when I was transitioning. Good stuff.

 

[HoneyDew]

Yep! I love doing this. It works SO WELL!

ditto for this natural

It's a miracle and the only way that I will detangle.

Beware. This method does not work out in the long term for thin/fine relaxed heads.

My hair eventually began to thin out and I couldn't figure out why.
erplexed It then dawned on me that the weight of the water while detangling was helping to snap the delicate strands.

I stopped immediately and after 6 months the difference is noticeable; I notice my hair thickening back up. I only detangle on damp hair (not under running water) and that works for me.

I am happy it does work for naturals and others with stronger hair! It was a good method for me at first as well.

Go Ladies!

I absolutely LUV it. I agree with the sickness of the waves too. I tell folks if they have a weak stomach, not to come around me...

I do that now, its cut about 40 mins off my wash day!

 

[Determined22]

Yup, that's what I do....

I do the same thing with a little bit of dominican olive oil rinse and my jilbere shower comb.

 

[Allandra]

Yeap, it works wonders.

This makes stretching so much easier in my opinion. I would always mix together my own DC, and then carefully comb out the DC with a jilbere shower comb while smoothing with one hand under the flow of water. It made it possible for me to airdry which I thought was amazing. I think the ingredients in my DC helped also - I always added porosity control and before I put in braids I started using honey as well. Great results every time!

YESS! This works wonders for my hair too!

I agree with the warning for fine-haired relaxed ladies though. I agree...I think that TOO much handling or detangling of the hair under running water can be a bit much. In the past I was shampooing once a week, and co-washing once all in the SAME week. My hair was thriving and moisturized, but eventually, I think I started to lose hair in the shower. I think it ended up doing more damage than good.

Now days, I think I'll alternate weeks with doing a co-wash one week, and a shampoo the following week, and just alternate that way. Because my hair is fine in texture, I have to make sure not to manipulate it TOO much.

Plus, if you're not using a seamless comb, this can also tear your hair out under the water.

But overall, detangling in the shower is a blessing! It's the only way I can stretch for long periods without my new growth going crazy on me. haha
