Is your hair Thick?
Does it get real Tangled?
And are you Tenderheaded?

If so can you tell me what products and techniques you have found that work. TIA Q

How I cope:

Washing in sections, being patient when handling, never allowing my hair to shrink ever . Deep conditioning regularly helps a lot too.

I like Silk Elements Revive & Restore Repair Masque Deep Conditioner, Pantene deep conditioners, and Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner. I also like Curls Ecstasy but it is expensive. Cure Care Conditioner is also cheap (And it can be found at Sally's) and I think it provides a decent amount of slip.

ETA- I also use VO5 and Giovanni Smooth as Silk to CO wash with also, but Curecare has more slip IMO.

Thank you. I will see if I can find some of the products you mentioned. Q

Yes, i'm a 3 T sufferer!!!

I have realised that wash n go's are a complete no-no. It encourages tangles. My hair has to be blowdried then styled - which at the moment is natural twists for the past 2 months.

The only product that helps with detangling is Kids Organic Detangling Shea Butter Leave-in Lotion. No other product that i have used works like it.

The thickness is all down to the amount of strands on my head as the strands themselves are very thin - hence detangling is even harder for me as it breaks more easily. I have to blow dry in very small sections.

My scalp is sensitive and tender. I have found using a mixture of Amla Plus oil with a few drops of Rosemary Oil and Tea Tree Oil very soothing. I now do not use false hair in my head (ie braid extensions) - my scalp is just too sensitive and it is red raw everytime i do.

Me. Most of my strands are course (thick in diameter) and my hair is dense....with the exception of a curly/fine section in the back.

Shampoo is not my friend, so I avoid it if possible. But if I must, I will use s sulfate free formula.

Moisturizing my hair at night keeps the tangles at bay for the next morning (one of these -coconut oil, emu, jojoba, avocado butter). Also, most gels make my hair more coily -> increases shrinkage -> increases tangling. So I am attempting to limit my use of styling aids. Applying my conditioner in sections decreases tangles as well.

My conditioners right now (PJ) - Elucence, Nature's Gate Asian Pear & red tea and Giovanni Direct as a leave in.

ETA: And if all else fails, once and a while I have to follow Sela/selah's tangle buster routine that I found on LHCF.
