Does Anyone Else Experince this too?
I just finish co-washing and i notice when half damp half dry my hair coils up so much it feels like its Dreaded/Tangle But it really isnt. its actually far from it but shrinkage plays a big part in that. What do you do when your hair feels like that? Its so Annoying and i get scared sometimes because of it?
 
I pull it apart with my fingers. I get sticky hair and small dreads all the time.

be very careful while detangling.
 
I'm over 5 months into transitioning, and even with the weight of my relaxed ends, my hair coils up in the same way. I have to be extra extra extra careful whilst detangling after I wash my hair and I use my fingers to pull my hair apart... VERY gently. Its time consuming, but needs to be done. Make sure you use a good detangling spray while doing this... it makes it a lot easier.
 
I had that for a while. I started detangling with a smaller tooth comb, and although they coiled up tightly, and looked like dreads, they felt softer and less dred like.
 
girl. that is exactly how my hair WAS when i used BT. i got alot og growth vry quickly, but ht nw growth came in super duper coiled....nothing like i hav ever seen. A few days b4 i relaxed, i took the "dreds" apart with my fingers, then combed lightly with a small tooth comb....worked fine.

Thank you all for the advice!I will Try a Smaller Tooth Comb!
With all This Growth i believe its the Megatek!
 
Yes I experienced the same thing.. So I had to start oil rinsing instead of co washing.. This help alot with the new growth...I'm natural but the new growth was dryer then the older hair. Or you may want to add coconut oil to you co/washes...hth
