I have been wearing my hair out, as oppose to in braids or some form of extentions since monday and each time I would detangle/comb my hair I would get so much breakage off the ends, like in little pieces. I worry at first because I just thought my hair needs to get used to not being 'caged' so to speak but inside I was getting worried and wondered what the reason could be.
I washed my hair on wednesday and put it into big braids to dry and when dry I proceeded to comb it again only to see the same little pieces falling off like snowflakes. I thought that maybe it is because of the hard water, which may be part of the reason but today it clicked.
When going through posts and some of your regimes I noticed how you would say that you don't detangle without a form of moisture so I thought "Oh let me try adding a leave in conditioning spray" (motions nourish leave in conditioner) and when I did I noticed very little breakage. Voila, so now I know
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COMB YOUR HAIR WITHOUT SOME FORM OF MOISTURE, IF YOU DON'T WANT IT TO FALL OFF IN LITTLE PIECES!!!
My only challenge now is dealing with the shrinkage caused by the water based sprays! Hmmmm...
If anyone notices something wrong with what I have said, please feel free to comment... I am trying to learn as much as possible about how to look after my hair because I have never had my hair out before without thinking it's going to be braided soon.
