yes, but that's because I wasn't combing it daily (only once a week on wash day). Once my boyfriends started commenting on it, I've tried to slowly incorporate combing again. I'm doing a mini test to see if my retention is the same with gentle combing. My reggie is:
-ONly do this at bedtime
-put a little moisturizer on my ends (any leftovers on my hands get smoothed into the rest of my hair)
-to gently comb with a wide tooth comb. I do it in six sections.
-add a little more moisturizer to the ends and seal with grapeseed oil.
-bun it up or put rollers on the ends.
I've been doing this for two weeks. So far so good. In the morning, there's no need to comb because it's already in place.
