I've been getting a lot of questions about how I twist and detangle my hair, so I decided to post this:
My dry large twist. About 25.
I wet my hair w/ cool water until it's completely saturated.
Once hair is completely saturated, apply about 1-2 TBSP of favorite condish (mine is Herbal Essence Hello Hydration-blue bottle) throughout hair. Must be a condish that provides great slip. This condish will be used as a leave-in.
I then untwist my hair 1 twist at a time and in a slow downward motion (about 5-6 times), I loosen up my strands and remove shedded hairs. Once done, I apply Qhemet Alma Oil Nourishing Pomade to my strands and retwist. I also use my favorite homemade shea butter mix for this process. Just need to use something that provides your hair w/ additional moisture and can be used also as a sealant. I then proceed to the next twist until all of my hair has been detangled and retwisted.
I lose very little hair detangling this way. I also make sure to work through any tangles/mattes with my finger so tangling isn't an issue. My hair stays nice and moisturized for days. If I desire to make smaller twist, I just untwist my large twist 1 at a time and make them smaller. And if I want to rock a cute TnC, I just apply rollers to the ends after I detangle/retwist, and untwist in the morning.
I love the versatility of my hair. Here is what my hair looks like after detangled and retwisted. Process takes me about 20-30min. I can do this every 2-3 days or once a week.
I wear my hair is some type of twist 90% of the time. My twist range from CHUNKY to small. However, I tend to prefer the medium to large size twist. I hate spending a lot of time on my hair and my hair tends to tangle easily when worn loose for a period of time. I also found that brushing and combing was a bit too harsh on my strands. So I have eliminated them from my routine.

erplexed I realized that the finger detangling doesn't work because the strands I pull down always get caught on the knots at the end of my hair, knots that no matter how many times I cut them out, they always come back.
