*Naturals* Washing hair in braids/twists?

[CharUK]

Do you find it easier to wash your hair while still in a twist or braided style? With regards to detangling?

I thought about this, having viewed someone's album, it makes pefect sense to wash while in a style like this?

Does/did anyone actually do it? What were your results.

Well, I tend to rinse my hair, while in twists, or flat twists, when my hair is covered with a stocking, but you can use this method to shampoo your hair, if you wish to. I think Den1 uses the method and also I think it was on the method of www.growafrohairlong.com, if I am correct. Sometimes, when my hair gets frizzy, I tend to redone the twists while they are wet and detangle with my fingers.

You know what...

I know it's wrong, but when my hair is in braids, I don't wash it at all...
But my hair has been doing very well marinating in it's own juices...

I've tried it a few times and I absolutely, positively know that I can NOT wash or rinse my hair in braids or twists. Tangle and loc city...

As far as washing or rinsing in braided or twisted sections, well I can't do that either. My hair needs to be free in order to detangle with ease.

It's the only way I can wash my hair at this length without it tangling it up. I have tried to wash my hair free and clear and once I comb through a section, it immediately tangles right back up. That one of the reasons why I keep my hair braided 24/7 now. I can't deal with tangles. My hair seems to be really fine(in strand size) so I am scared silly that if I manipulate it too much, I'll lose the length I have accumulated.

i do it occasionally when my hair is in twists....but i only do my scalp....i dont bother with working the shampoo through my twists...i'll wash the actual hair when i remove my twists....

I've done it the way it says on the site that Valerie posted. It works out fine, very silky.

No way! At least not for me. Washing my hair in braids then taking it down makes my hair tangle something terrible! I haven't tried washing it in twists.
