@Shay72
Thank you Shay for the tips! Much Appreciated.

I know Shay-Shay appreciates it too, since you are a daily W&Go'er

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Welp. It is official.

I've had my 1st 'major' set-back as a Natural with this past wash-day.

My dreams of reaching Full BSL as a natural this summa' has been dashed.

I lost so much matted/tangled/loc'ed up hair it was unbeweavable.

Imma press on tho'.

Thank you everyone for being so helpful.

After this past weekend....I'm almost half-way scurrrrd to even 'touch' my hair.

Not sure that I will head back down the Curl Junkie path yet

Evenin' Ladies!

I think I will continue to go through my stash to see how much more I can give away. I think I still have way too much stuff so as I shop my stash in the next couple of weeks, I'll be putting more things aside to give away to someone who doesn't have. I feel like helping someone out, someone other than myself.

 

[divachyk]

Need to catch up but when I get time I will share what I do regarding detangling especially as a daily wash & goer.

Tag me when you spill deets please ma'am.

 

[divachyk]

The best detanglers around:
Honey Handmade's Knot Going Bananas, Taliah Wajiid Protective Mist Bodifier, Kinky Curly Knot Today, and Qhemet's Biologics Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee

That got expensive with the conditioners though. Taliah Wajiid changed some ingredients so that's why I stopped using it.

What I'm doing now that has changed my life:

• In a spray bottle-aloe vera juice, aloe vera gelly, distilled water, and any oil
• 3 comb method- first finger detangle, then follow with a wide tooth comb, then a medium tooth comb, and finally end with a fine tooth comb

Every now in then I get a "dread' but never at the roots it is always at the end which makes it very easy to get out

I had a professional WnG recently and she did something similar. She said where most go wrong is only relying on fingers and wide tooth combs.

What DID she say you should rely on?

I totally missed what happened but just wanted to give you some e-love & hugs.

@Shay72
I made your "concoction" tonight = Shay-Shay's Special Blend L-I although you ain't give me no measurements or nothin'

The only thing I didn't have (but just ordered) was the AVGelly. I must admit, even w/o that it helped.

Thanks Sis. Keep me in your prayers.

Big Thanks to you too, my friend, for suggesting using something totally 'Coney when this happens.

I pulled out Garnier Fruc.tis something or other (I know that mess is FULL of Cones).

I remember buying that stuff when Lita was active.

@IDareT'sHair
She said fingers are like wide tooth combs so she only uses fingers vs fingers and wide tooth comb. She combs through the hair with fingers and when she hits a snag, she uses a three row detangling comb to work out the problem area. She clumped my curls with a paddle brush. I ordered the three row comb and will use either my wood brush, knockoff Felicia brush or Denman vs. a paddle brush. I was pleased with my hair....my avatar is the WnG.

I've been meaning to share my experience. I actually had my hair professionally cut. She used Mizani CoWash, followed up with Deva One Conditioner and left some of that in my hair as my leave in conditioner. Styled my hair with Camille Rose Curl Maker.

Nice Review. Thank you.

I have a Denman Double Row Detangling Comb and the Squiggly one from Con.Air and

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I just cracked open an NG Rosemary & Parsley and it was molded. ..

I haven't had that, that long. I'm sure I got it in the Fall.

I don't think I've ever had any of her products go bad on me.

 

[Shay72]

@IDareT'sHair
I don't have specific measurements

 

[divachyk]

I have a Ouidad double row also @IDareT'sHair and it works really well. That smaller comb did something for my curls that the larger double row didn't. Or then again, it might have been the fresh haircut or a combination of both.

@IDareT'sHair
Wow I have an old jar of that and it's fine. I wonder what went wrong there.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

@IDareT'sHair
I'm so sorry you suffered a setback. Don't worry you'll hit your goal this year. The upside is that you now know how to handle tangles.

I don't know?

It's so skrange. Her stuff always stays good.

When I opened it, it felt "wet" like water. But it was sealed, so I honestly don't know?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I had a bottle of Avocado Mist (Eqyss) that is a *cough* detangler [an extra added benefits of having a ginormous stash]

"Oil Free/Silicone Free/Alcohol Free" Detangler for Wet or Dry *Pet* Hair.

So I whipped that out.
