Just got great tip for detangling thick, unrelaxed, mid back hair

[silverflyt]

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. But I found a great tip. Braid hair in 4 sections BEFORE washing. Wash, condition, add leave in. THEN take down braids to dry. That way detangling is supposed to be super fast and easy. I'm going to try that tonight. I hope this works..it takes me about an hour just to detangle right now.

Yeah, I washed my hair in braided sections during my transition. I would take each braid down to detangle under water with a D4 and then braid it right back up. I braided in six sections. It took me about 30 minutes to wash, detangle and add a leave-in. I didn't have any tangle problems as a result.

 

[jaded_faerie]

ill have to try this....my hair has started to tangle something terrible

 

[Sistaslick]

yep, I have always loved this method of hair washing. It cuts down on hairs lost during the process, and helps with the detangling afterward --definitely a must have in my regimen.

 

[babyblue]

yes, this is my favorite way to wash my hair. I wouldnt be able to detangle my thick massive bushy natural hair so smoothly and quickly without this method.

 

[Brownshugaz]

I tried washing my hair while it was still in big braids and I had buildup issues.

I do this too, but I take each braid out to wash, then I braid it back up. I condition the same way.

Thanks silverflyt for the tip but, you did not tell us when you detangle your hair?

 

[ajargon02]

I was hoping that you had an album that we all could look at. Do you? I would love to see your progress.

 

[Candiss]

i think this is a great idea. I think that I will try this for my first wash after I take my locs out.

 

[sweetascocoa]

well i guess ill give this a try today

 

[sweetascocoa]

umm well, i just tried it and i lost more hair than usual. this is not my first time trying it and getting the same results. i guess it doesnt work for me

 

[rosalindb]

I do this too, but I take each braid out to wash, then I braid it back up. I condition the same way.

I also wash my hair this way

That's how I do mine. Any other way and I'm in trouble. I do mine in 8 to 16 sections then I leave it in until 90-95% dry.

 

[Syrah]

This is also the only way I wash my hair...any other way, and I'm havin bald spots, breakin combs and cursing people out.
