How often do you detangle??

[danigurl18]

Sometimes I think that I detangle too much and other times I don't think I detangeled enough.. How often do you do it??

 

[MA2010]

I think I detangle a lot as well.

It's safe to say I do it every other day when styling.

I also do it with every co-wash, shampoo, and before a braid out or bantu knots!!!

 

[JustKiya]

Twice a week, Sunday and Wed. The rest of the week, I just fingercomb.

 

[EMJazzy]

I detangle *everyday*

 

[longhairdreamzz]

Unfortunatly, I detangle every relaxer...which is about every 7-8 weeks. I'm just strait up lazy.

 

[E. Princess]

I detangle whenever I wash my hair, which is about once a week.

 

[Cichelle]

As often as my schedule permits. I like my hair to be as tangle free as possible. Those detangling sessions after waiting too long make me absolutely miserable, damage my hair (no matter how careful I am) and have me dreaming of cutting. So, if I could detangle daily, I would because that means hardly any tangles at all. I just haven't had the time lately. I try never to go more than three days or so.

I detangle everyday. If I'm gonna be home all day, I'll probably leave my hair wrapped, and give my hair a "break". Then I'll detangle the following day. I can't go no more than 2 days! My hair usually detangles easy except when my hair is in protein overload (like it is now).

 

[Kay.Dee]

I use my denman on wash day (usually once a week). I usually just fingercomb in-between. I think I may need to use a comb more often though, I'm getting too many knots.

 

[RosesBlack]

Generally speaking I do a complete detangle every couple of days. I will do it daily when I'm about 6-8 weeks post or my NG will mat even if it's stretched and bunned. I tried doing it once a week and had a crapload of breakage and terrible terrible tangling.

I detangle *everyday*

Me, too........

 

[charmtreese]

I detangle on wash days only, which ends up being every 3-4 days.

 

[Seraphina]

I generally detangle everyday during my cowash. If I go more than a couple days, my hair turns into a tangled, matted mess and trying to clear that up would have me loosing more hair than doing so daily. But how I detangle varies each day...I usually use a comb, sometimes just my fingers and about twice a week I use the Denman.

 

[lilmsjanet]

once a month with my fingers only.... i made the mistake of trying to use a comb 1nce and the results werent pretty it was like i sprouted another head

 

[oooop2]

I recently started co-washing my hair everynight. During this process, I detangle w/ my hands. I seen some major improvments in my hair since doing this.

 

[Sunshine0801]

Right now I detangle with a comb and my denman once a week and fingercomb everyday.

 

[LunadeMiel]

I finger comb everyday. However, I detangle with a comb 1-2 times per week.

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

Now that my hair is shorter I only have to detangle once or twice weekly. When my hair was longer I had to detangle more often, but I wouldn't, because I was lazy and it was too much work.

 

[Rei]

I can't really go past 3 days otherwise my hair will matt. My strands love to hang out together and are pretty loathe to separate

 

[tocktick]

i aim for once a week. sometimes, i leave it for longer if i'm too lazy and didn't take the comb into the bathroom. i've gone a few weeks without detangling though. the most being about 6 weeks; i recently went about 2-3 weeks without it. my hair only gets really tangled up when i've taken down braid extensions.

 

[feelfree]

Twice a week, Sunday and Wed. The rest of the week, I just fingercomb.

same here. when i wash/co-wash, i detangle, otherwise, i use my fingers.

 

[redd]

Every 3-4 days with denman.

 

[JustKiya]

Twice a week, Sunday and Wed. The rest of the week, I just fingercomb.

I've actually reduced this - I only detangle on the weekend now - Sat or Sun.... I felt like I was doing a little too much manipulation.

 

[Neith]

Once a week and I don't even think I really need it that much!

Since texturizing, my hair doesn't tangle much. Detangling is always a breeze, even with an inch of newgrowth!

[anon123]

I detangle whenever I wash. So usually once a week. In the summer it might be a bit more frequent.

 

[anherica]

My hair is rarely loose, and I wash in the twists or braids it's styled in, so I detangle when the style comes down. Usually every 3-6 weeks depending on the style.

 

[loolalooh]

I selected "longer than a week". I detangle with a comb 1x a month.

 

[gloomgeisha]

I used to detangle about once a month, when I'd wash to do my twists; now I'm thinking I need to detangle at least once a week or every other week. Ever since I got my Kcutter though (how come no one told me how amazing this comb is?!?!?!) detanglings been a hell of a lot easier.

 

[silvergirl]

during my cowash everyday

Conditioner poos, deep conditioning every shampoo and a good spritz with OYIN HANDMADE FRANK JUICE makes it very, very minimal. I don't really tangle anymore; a few hairs may be intertwined but my fingers separate and it's done.
