Because my coils fall out if you even look at them, I go kind of fast. I massage my head during the detangling process. Also when I add moisturiser. But I do take care that my entire head is covered. I go in sections. I start at the nape and go from tip to root. Then go up, going tip to root, until I get to my forehead. But I am still pretty fast about it. I guess it takes me between 1 and 2 minutes.
