For those who detangle in shower....

[alexstin]

what's your technique?

I ask because I've tried to detangle in the shower before but wasn't too successful. Are you standing directly under the water facing forward or do you turn away from the shower head and just have your hair under the water stream. Are you using a shower mirror to see what you're doing.

Thank!

I turn so that the water is hitting the section I'm detangling. I start with my fingers and then move to a wide toothed comb.

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I wash in 2 sections, a part down the middle and detangle w.the water running directly on the section using a Jilbere shower comb, starting from the ends working my way up.

 

[Allandra]

I make sure my hair is coated with a good amount of conditioner (that offers good slip), and I always start at the ends and work my way up. A good detangling comb helps too (like the Jilbere shower comb). When I shampoo my hair, I make sure it's hanging straight down. It's not a good idea to shampoo one's hair pile up on top of the head (if the hair is long).

 

[bluejay47]

I do the same as Allandra, but I use an afro pick

 

[alexstin]

Okay, I'm going to try again today but I'll detangle as I'm rinsing the conditioner out. Before, I tried to detangle after I'd already rinsed it out.

Thanks guys.

I use lots of The Detangler by Paul Mitchell and stand under the water stream. I start at the ends and comb up towards the scalp. But I kinda end up parting my hair down the middle and comb one side first than the other side.....hope this helps....

Edited to add: The Jilbere Shower Comb is amazing....

 

[alexstin]

It seems like the Shower comb is preferred to the bone comb for detangling(I have both).

 

[MiWay]

Once I saturate with conditioner, I use the Jilbere shower comb too, and I have no problems.

Sometimes I detangle my hair after I've rinsed out the conditioner. Both ways work good for me.

 

[onepraying]

I do the same as the others, saturate with conditioner, let the water run on the section of hair I'm detangling, however, since my hair is pretty thick , I use my shower comb, then my denman paddle brush(or a good knock-oof one, whichever one I grab first)

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

Well for me the Jilbere shower comb does the job and the cost is up my alley, lol, I haven't purchased a bone comb yet but would love to.

I usually wet my hair first with the water stream and then apply a detangler and comb with a wide-tooth comb in sections (usually 4). After detangling, I rinse again and that's it!

 

[Poohbear]

Afer shampooing, I apply LeKair Cholesterol Plus to my sectioned wet hair and gently comb thru each section with a Jilbere Shower Comb. Goes through smoothly like a sharp knife through butter! (btw, I have short natural hair).

I detangle the same way.

 

[Carlie]

My hair is natural. I don't need the water running while detangling. Once my hair is full of conditioner, I comb through using my Conair Shower Comb. Last, I brush through my hair (root to ends) w. my Denman (D4) brush, before rinsing.

It's not a good idea to shampoo one's hair pile up on top of the head (if the hair is long).

I detangle this way also after deep conditioning. My shower comb is seamless and wide-toothed (with a hook at the end) from Sally's but I don't think it's a Jilbere. I works very well though.

Facing awauy from water (backing into it) No mirror...let the conditioner sit for a minute...Nexxus Ensure a GREAT detangler

 

[OnceUponAtime]

I have natural hair. I condition (Fructis or Suave), rinse, condition with shower cap for a few minutes, rinse again with my back to the shower while detangling with my fingers. Most of the time, I set my shower head to pulse and let that hit the back of the shower cap during the second conditioning. I don't know why, but I seem to have fewer tangles when I take it off.

Letting the second conditioner sit with the heat from my head for a couple of minutes seems to do a lot of the detangling for me. The running water helps to weigh my hair down and detangles some too.

 

[Luvableboo]

The Jilbere comb is the TRUTH!!! To detangle in the shower is a breeze now!!!

 

[tastesosweet]

I don't really have a set method, I just make sure my hair has a lot of conditioner in it and I use a Denman wide-tooth brush and start from the ends.

 

[so1913]

I apply my conditioner, and part my hair using my fingers and detangle in sections using a the shower comb starting from the back working up to the front. I don't run into any problems.

 

[sylver2]

Under running water, while having lots of condtioner in it I Use my wide tooth comb, part hair in the style I'm going to wear it then comb section by section. All while water is blasting on my hair. Comb slips right thru.

This is exactly what I do. Works like a charm and helps me stretch to 20 weeks.

 

[Nightingale]

I detangle my hair when its soaking wet under the shower stream, brush my conditioner through in three large sections (denman brush), then rinse under the stream as I brush again.

 

[Opal1821]

Where do you find the Jilbere comb and the denman paddle?

 

[alexstin]

The comb and some Denman brushes can be purchased at Sally's. You might want to go to the Denman website to see which brush you need. I'm eyeing the D31.

 

[silvergirl]

hair towards shower head an i use a shower brush/comb

 

[sweetascocoa]

i use either my K-cutter or suave knock off of the jilbere shower comb. i dont use conditioner all the time because the water pressure from the hower helps detangle. i face away from the shower head

 

[TrulyBlessed]

This has been a saving grace for my transition. As I rinse out the conditioner, I began to gently brush out any tangles from the bottom to the root with my Denman brush as the shower water is streaming directly on my hair. I tried a Jilbere shower comb and it didnt work so well for me.
