What happens when your protective styling starts getting tangles??

[tatje]

I noticed thatmy protective styling now is getting tangles and knotted up. I don't understand it. I never had this problem. Is it because my hair is getting longer? Oh and also I see alot of shedding. Not breakage, just shedding. Extremely too much for me. I do not comb or brush, and I never had this problem before. I was pulling out so much hair I thought I was bald somewhere, but checked my head and everything seemed fine. What do you do?

It sounds like your tangles and shedding is due to a lack of moisture, in my opinion. You may want to try moisturizing your hair a little more on a daily basis. When I where protective styles, I take down my hair every night and mist, moisturize and seal with oil. Misting helps lossen any tangles of there are any.

What protective style are you doing?

Just a bun. That's it.

My thinking is that maybe you need to break out the comb!! How else do you detangle?

Ive been getting more tangles and knotting as well. I also wear a bun as a protective style. However, I noticed my tangles and knots appear after my wash day. Im gonna start back washing in braids since Im 13 weeks post my hair tangles and knots up a lot more.
