So Peachtree: It is beautiful...I am curious
...do you do a complete comb out first
...or do you just finger comb and twist, wash your hair in the twists as some do
...or how do you prevent tangling and knotting? Your hair looks super thick and healthy too. Bonjour
1) I only comb my hair when soaked with conditioner. After I poo (or cw), I'll add my conditioner (Elucence). Let conditioner sit til I bathe (about 10 mins). Then comb through... & comb again... then comb again. I hate knots.... so I'm comb, & comb until the comb literally slides right down my hair. (I think I've become a lil obsessed about keeping my hair free from knots with all of the comb throughs I do). I used to use cheapie conditioners (which works well), but I changed to Elucence cuz Elucence enables me to comb through multi times without breaking any hairs.
2) I still finger comb from time to time... like when styling. No, I don't poo in the twists. I poo, condition, detangle, oil, then style (in that order). When I feel up to it, I'll do a *pre-poo* with Lustrasilk Aloe... but that's maybe 1x mth.
3) I prevent tangling & knotting by being obsessive about combing through THOROUGHLY while loaded with conditioner. Again, I had to change from my beloved cheapies to Elucence... Elucence is heavy, very moisturizing, with great slip... this is how I'm able to comb through so many times to *prevent* tangling & knotting. My hair stays pretty tangle/knot free until the next poo. The ends still curl around themselves, but it's not tangled... I can easily slip the ends apart. I *NEVER* comb dry hair... that would be disasterous, lol
Thanks for the compliments
