Well I BC on the 22nd of June I believe and I was kinda excited. I felt free and couldn't wait to start trying things on my hair to see how my hair reacted to it. Well my hair is SUPER dry and it has been for months now. Nothing seems to keep it soft. I co wash it still feels dry(Infusium, vo5, Suave) I leave-in(garnier) and then Moisturize(shea butter mix or s curl) and it's still DRY. I love my hair but I think I hate it too. My styles are limited because I have like 2 inches on 1 1/2 inches of unstretced hair. i wouldn't mind rocking a curly fro if my curls had more definition. If I gel my hair everyday eventually will my curls form more? how long will that take? I have no curl definition at all in the back and front. I think it's from always brushing my hair into a ponytail. Anyways here are so pics. Not the best pics for now but maybe you can help. I will try and get some better pics of my hair this weekend. I won't be back til Monday because my son's father is coming in to town and we have a great 4th planned for the kids.
ok well I am having another issue with my hair. It is just so tangly. And it shrinks up to the MAX. Real tight and I feel like detangling is ripping and breaking my hair. I try to just finger comb and my hand snags and gets caught in tangles and knots. The denman snags and so do wide tooth combs. They all are uncomfortable and hurt my scalp.
Do I need to get a detangler.
I always oil my scalp before washing either overnight or for some hours.
Then I poo
cheap conditioner
(usually here I would be finished and then i'd rinse, add a lil bit more cheap contioner, either style or just add oil)
Now I also DC and I want to DC alot atleast 2 times weekly.
Anyways after i add my products my hair is still tangly. It has knots and I feel like this is taking away from my thickness. What can I do ?

I Don't know about the hard water or how to tell. Does TX have hard water? Anyone know? I will try that method. Right now I am going to try my Kinky Curly again because last night I did it and i had to put my scaarf on and go to bed before the style set so now I have to start all over. It didn't look good anyways. My brother said my hair looked like a dry jherri curl and my sister said it looked shiny and wet. GRRRREEEEAAAATTTT!
1) How often do you detangle? I used to detangle daily when cowashing daily. i am trying to cut back on manipulation so I detangle maybe every few days and I am trying to go a week now
2) Do you detangle in sections? Yes of course. I atleast know this.Four sections actually cause I have so much shrinkage it's hard to make a lot of parts.
3) Do you detangle wet or dry & what is on your hair when you do it? I detangle wet in the shower usually.
4) How do you style your hair on a daily basis? The only way i know how. A wash and go or a puff.
To avoid shrinkage, I use bentonite clay. Prior to that, I would band my hair daily to stretch it out. When I had a twa, I would sometimes do twistouts. I find regular co-washing also helps keep the tangling at bay.
I will look into this clay cause I have major shrinkage. Which wouldn't bother me if it didn't come with tangles and knots. Where do you get this clay at? I am still trying to get the hang of twistouts I may just try again.
the best moisturizer you can use on your hair is african unrefined shea butter mixed with organic coconut oil. that combo right there is better than any product i have ever used and i have tried everything mentioned on this board.
Geminigirl,
How's your hair going? I see why you felt it necessary to BC and I think that you look cute with the short style. Can you update us?
your hair is so pretty GeminiGirl! i love your twists too. i don't understand why mine don't look like that. and i have been practicing too.♥
Hey VJ! I'm right handed and I know I used to twist to the left. Now I twist to the right and I am able to get them tight. Also applyinhg product to my roots helps to get the twists even tighter.
