Ladies I am very confused about a few hair issues discussed here on the board. I have read in many places that hair is done and then not combed again until the next time - be it a day or a week or more later. How is this possible? Doesn't your hair get tangled? Doesn't it get messy so you NEED to comb and restyle it? Are you able to wear the scarf/bonnet at night so it does not come off so your hair doesn't get messy? (How that happens is still a mystery to me) What about just being outside and the wind blowing dirt and dust that gets in your hair - how do you deal with this without combing your hair?
I understand the idea and need for low manipulation, but I simply do not understand the no combing. I am reading and learning - and one day (may it be soon) when I am out of these braids, I will return to relaxing and actually having my own hair (and not the store bought kind), so I really want to understand the best practices for hair care to attain health, length, and strength.
How does this work - or not work - exactly. Details, please ladies, details.
