Hi, ladies and gents!

Given the number of hair videos nowadays, there's just no way one person can view even a significant portion to find the gems. However, if we collectively distill the best of the best, then we can each encounter many more great videos in much, much, much less time.

@YvetteWithJoy GREAT IDEA! (starting this tread)

Keep them coming ladies.

Video's intended audience: natural/relaxed who finger detangle
Video's main topic: How to properly finger detangle using the harping method

This video changed the game for me. I have been using this method to finger detangle before I use a comb and I truly believe that it has greatly minimized the breakage that I get on wash day.

Just came to say, LOVE the lanks, tis all, keep em coming... Thanks for making night a binge watch of all viddeos, Lol

Excellent Detangling Methods

NOTE: I have found that if I start out with a combination of the techniques in the 3rd and 2nd videos and then move to doing the method in the 1st video with a Wet Brush and a course-toothed comb and then my fingers or a fine-toothed comb, detangling goes VERY well with minimum hair loss and maximal removal of shed hair.
