HELP!

[Sincerely_Ciara]

I am gonna start taking out my kinky twists that I have had in since the end of July. I took out a couple and I noticed that I have build up and I don't wanna rip my hair out. So whats the safest precaution to take when combing the buildup out? or what is your method? Do I need to comb it out while damp or dry? As you can see I am about to have a nervous reck.

Thanks, Ciara

There is a product out that helps with removing braids called Better Braids Un-Braids.

I have never used it. I mix conditioner with water and a little oil and put it in a spray botttle. I spray this on the braids and unbraid. This gives me a lot of slip. I also fully saturate the clumpy white buildup so that it will untangle easily.

Also be sure to detangle fully and keep spraying the unbraided hair. Once you have a good sized section rebraid the hair so you won't have a matted mess by the end of the braid removal session.

I hope this helps

Check out the website www.growafrohairlong.com and check out the video about "removing braids with excessive buildup" this should really help!

ETA: it is found in the "braid extensions regimen"

Not sure if you have removed them yet but I have found Giovanni vitapro is a great detangler. Give that a try.
