I know this may be weird but i JUST recently figured out hw to detangle my natural hair w minimal shedding and breakage.... in the shower I... 1. detangle with a wide tooth comb while rinsing out my shampoo 2. Detangle w a paddle brush while rinsing out deep conditioner 3. Detangle w a bristle brush while rinsing out detangling conditioner I wash my hair 1x a week. This method has significantly decreased my ssk, tangling, matting, and shedding on wash days... Its probably a combination of products and technique
