I no longer have tangling issues!!
In the past, I would always, without fail, encounter tangles and sometimes even knots
after 10+ weeks post relaxer. My hair would be doing fine, then one day, boom, I have a mass of tangles. So, what am I doing that I wasn't doing before?
1. I detangle my dry hair before I wash it using my wooden comb (very very gentle) and Joico Leave-in Detangler on my tangle prone areas (mainly the crown of my head).
2. I use my Jilbere shower comb every time I shampoo/conditioner wash. Whether my hair needs detangling that day or not! This is key for me, because the tangles seem to just sneak up on me. First, I detangle while my conditioner of the day is in my hair (this also helps to distribute the conditioner throughout the hair), rinse that out, then I detangle with Biolage Detangling Solution.
3. I detangle under running water while rinsing out the Detangling Solution. I forgot who posted this tip, but thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
The water from the shower head gives the hair a weightless feeling that makes detangling effortless!
4. Finally, I use a silicone serum on my wet hair and detangle one last time.
This may seem excessive, but it has saved my hair. I never have shedding or breakage problems when relaxer time appraches. I only had problems with tangles. I feel like I can go much longer than my typical 12-14 weeks without getting a relaxer now that I've overcome this major hurdle. I hope this post can help someone facing the same issues.
