Okay....I have used several detanglers (leave-ins), but some of my favorites are giovanni direct leave in, rusk smoothers & elucence MB. All 3 cause the tangles to melt away...like magic! HTH

KiniKakes said:After the Dominicans wash my hair, they detangle/comb thru it with the Nacidit or Capile Aceit de Olive Rinse. The wide-toothed comb glides thru it like silk. Afterward they put in the Avacado Cream Cholesterol (DC) and i sit under heat and so forth....
Kinikakes your hair is beautiful!! Could you post the whole regimen of what the Dominicans use on your head, etc..??KiniKakes said:After the Dominicans wash my hair, they detangle/comb thru it with the Nacidit or Capile Aceit de Olive Rinse.

I have had soooo many people tell me that is who should be taking care of my hair because of my hair type..
And do they perm you as well??

Yes, the Dominicans do give me my relaxer. I use a mild, no lye, gentle treatment relaxer by Johnson & Company. Not sure if this can be found at the BSS or if its a salon relaxer only. But my hair loves it!
In terms of the detangler:
At the salon, they first wash your hair (twice) with the Aceite de Olive shampoo. They work up a good lather and use those strong, nimble fingers to really cleanse the scalp. Love this part!!! It feels so good.
Once the hair is clean, they then slather on a GOOD amount of the Aceite de Olive rinse. Only once the hair is saturated with this thick, creamy rinse do they use the wide-toothed comb to start the detangling process. While they are combing, they are streaming the water thru the hair, which also helps to detangle. For most women, this is very easy and takes just a couple of minutes (the rinse is THAT effective!) However, i dont comb my hair during the week, so its extra tangled..... and then when i Henna and come in, god forbid, its ridiculously tangled/matted. BUT with the Aceite de Olive rinse they are able to comb thru it relatively easily.... it just takes a couple more minutes.
At this point, once the hair is detangled, they use the water nozzle to wash the rinse out. Once the rinse is completely out of the hair, they follow up with the DC of your choice. I usually choose the Avocado Cholesterol Cream conditioner. Its this thick, yummy, creamy green conditioner. They lather this throughout the hair, pile my hair atop my head, put a plastic cap on me and sit me under the drier. I stay under there for about 15 minutes, then come out. They rinse me, and use the wide toothed comb once more to comb thru my hair. But by this time, the hair is like SILK and the comb glides thru it effortlessly.
THroughout this process, i lose minimal hair and i dont feel like they are pulling or yanking on me at ALL. Its a very positive experience, and most of the stylists are equally adept at detangling with ease.
