That is the Exact problem I was having!!! And to think, I had the solution in my bathroom already!

I didn't read through the entire thread, but a dominican girl once told me, wash your hair in the shower and only massage diluted shampoo onto your scalp. Do not manipulate. You can work a bit on your strands and let it sit for a few to break down the dirt/oils and rinse. Apply conditioner in downward motion and when rinsing, rinse in a downward motion while finger combing. You shouldn't have that many tangles regardless of the shampoo/conditioner you use and as always, if you use a great conditioner/leave-in with slip even better.

Hit -
Designer Essentials Relaxer - In a word . . . WOW! I have the coarsest hair on earth & had 18 weeks of new growth. After my last relaxer in May I had real concerns about underprocessing. This busted through my NG in the allotted time and left it straight and silky.

What strength did you use? I'm considering using this relaxer on my next touch up but not sure what strength to use.

Hit:Organics Shea Butter & Tea Tree Oil Moisturizer. I think I like this better than Hydra TLC 24/7 creme. Hydra TLC leaves my hair slightly crispy.

How did you mix your rhassoul clay? Any favorite recipes using the rhassoul clay? I used it once before but had such a hard time getting it to stick to my hair.

sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I just saw your question. I just mixed with hot water and a spoon and flatenned the big chunks as much as possible.
