it's that time of the week.....to detangle....

if I did it every other week would it matter...

how often do any of you naturals do it.....

I keep my hair untangled in braids and twists, so I don't really have "detangling days". I had a detangling day once when I was too lazy to braid or twist my hair after a twist-out and just baggied my hair for the night. 'Twas not a fun project even though it was only a small section (bangs) that I had done that to, so it's one I avoid at all costs.

Despite how resistant my hair gets, I don't have much trouble detangling. Could be the ridiculous amount of conditioners and the like that I have been using. Can't wait till I can start using less- I'm going broke. I would stick with the weekly if you need it. It'll only get worse.

Hey!!

I wash once weekly.

I finger comb and detangle with my hands. I use my fingers in a claw-like formation and rake through my hair under running water and it works great! Not a lot of hair loss and it takes minutes to do while inthe shower. I discovered that my hair does not need a comb to glide through it because my hair is not straight. As long as I can run my fingers through under running water to get the shedd hair out that is what matters for me. I love it and have retained length and I have no problem with styling.

What helped me the most is that I had to change my whole frame of mind with dealing with my natural hair such as combing, detangling and styling. I still had an straight hair mentality with my natural hair the two don't mix.

I think to help if you are having detangling issues to pin point what is your goal with the detangling, is it to get rid of tangles, to make a comb glide through etc?

To eliminate my issues with tangles, I stopped wearing twistouts, it was horrible for my hair and detangling was longer with a lot of hair loss. I started wearing my hair in stretched styles and I wash my hair in twisted sections when I wash, I wash my hair in a down ward motion and squeezing, similiar to how I washed my locks and detangling has been a breeze. I have 4A/3C hair

Hope this helps!

Hang in there!

I cowash (with wen) everday...but I know that doesn't get all the hair out.

IA.

That's what help me the most, is to change my frame of mind about what my natural hair can and cannot do. And I to revisit when I get more length. When my hair was 4-5 inches, wash 'n goes were fine. When my hair reached 7-8 inches, that was a no go.

I no longer can have my hair in its shrunken state, loose and wet at the same time. So I wash and co-wash in loose twists or braids and take each down one at the time to detangle first with my fingers and once in a while, with the Goody Jojoba brush.

If my hair is loose, that means it's streched either with a twist-out or with rollers in a bun. When I do a twist-out (dry hair) I put my hair in big twists at night and can only keep it for a 2-3 days before my hair starts to shrink and tangle.

It took me a while to let go of my wash 'n goes but I now, I no longer have detangling issues.

I usually do it 1 a week and sometimes 2 weeks....depends on how I styled my hair that week.

If you don't do it weekly, I would just make sure you are moisturizing and be very gentle when you finally do detangle.
