BeautifullyExotic, I visualized that cut from your description. That'd be neck length, I believe. Outside of hairboards it may also be called chin length I think.

Guess I should have asked this question before chopping off my ends but i am natural when I flat ironed and all the hair was straight I chopped off any bushy ends. Do you think bushy ends are damaged hair or lack of flat ironing skills?

This happened to me too! I think it may be lack of skills because no matter how much I cut, the new ends just become the bush
I dread to think about how much 'probably healthy' hair I've chopped off

Do I have to pre poo before I do a garlic treatment. Someone tell me if im doing the steps correct. Want to do a garlic treatment today after work.
Mix garlic and coconut oil together.
Leave in for eight hours then wash and conditioner with mane n tail shampoo and conditioner. Moisture with s curl then seal with nutiva coconut oil.

Sounds like your garlic treatment is your prepoo so nope no extra steps needed.

So when do I pre poo?

^^If I'm not mistaken, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, any oil, conditioner, or treatment you use before you shampoo is a prepoo. So your garlic treatment is your prepoo. If you want to use something prior to that then go ahead but in my opinion its not necessary...

Your garlic treatment is your prepoo and eight hours is definitely not necessay at all. You only need 20-30 minutes then proceed with your normal wash and DC treatments. HTH!

A prepoo is a step used to make your actual shampoo session a bit easier and less drying. That is why most people tend to use an oil or a conditioner like the conditioners fromthe Aubrey Organics line. On the label, they actually recommend using before and/or after shampooing.

If I do the garlic treatment, I still have to do a deep conditioner. I thought that was a deep conditioner

What do you deep conditioner with?

LOC/ LCO which layering method works best and why?

strawbewie, I like both methods. It just really depends on how my hair is feeling and the products I'm using that determines which method I use. Maybe someone will come along with a better answer as to why either method works.

@coyacoy, go to User CP, then on the left panel click Edit Ignore List. Next page, type in the screen name of the person you want to block in the place where it says "Add a Member to your list". Click "Okay". Voilà!
Now you'll only see their posts if someone who isn't on your ignore list quotes them.

When ppl say low or no manipulation, does that mean with a comb or any movement of the hair at all? Also, when ppl say detangle (sometimes in the shower) and remove shed hairs, is that with a comb or fingers? If you don't use a comb, how can you really detangle and remove shed hairs. Maybe I am too new in my HHJ to understand yet.

Jobwright Low manipulation could mean with or without comb...but manipulation done infrequently. People in braids for months on end, or in a bun for a week, are practicing no manipulation for that time. Because they go for a long time before manipulating their hair--unlike people who comb their hair daily--they are practicing low manipulation too.
It could be either. Some use a comb, some use their fingers. (I believer there are many more videos on YT showing people finger combing their hair, wet or dry.)
BTW, I consider "detangling" the removing of tangles. A lot of people use the word to mean combing hair. I don't let my hair get tangles so I am usually just combing my hair. If my hair is loose, I use a comb in the shower.
I can go years not using a comb and still be able to remove shed hair because I keep my hair in twists and undo one twist at a time, finger comb it to remove shed hair. I painstakingly separate strand by strand and find it very relaxing. (I love playing in my hair.) This clip shows how I do it:

And because I'm that meticulous, when I do eventually use a comb in my hair, I can use a fine tooth comb without any snags.
