Thank you. I have been natural for 7 years but I did a bc in October 2005 just because I've always wanted a twa. For my pre-poos I put my hair in four sections and braid loosely. Then I put the castor oil on from the roots down. Once it is coated, I used my fingers to separate any tangles and put a little extra on my ends and then re-braid. I do that and then let it sit for at least 20 minutes. I wash my hair while in 4 sections too and that def helps with the tangles because instead of having this big mass of hair to detangle, you just have 4 smaller sections. While washing and conditioning, I make sure to not just smush my hair together but use my fingers to keep it smooth. Even though I have a lot of hair and it is long, it doesn't take a long time to detangle because of how I wash it. HTH Q

(Again) Que you have one well cared for head of hair, yes mama! :notworthyIt's tough to get dark textured hair to come across as healthy and shiny through photos so I can only imagine what your hair looks like in person.
I really better get my hair where I want it real soon because looking at your photos is making me as antsy as a betsy bug. :skitzo:I have the urge to run my fingers over your hair. :lovedrool:
I just had a few questions. Now why do you use castor oil before you wash? Is it to combat the harsh ingredients of the shampoo? What has oil pre-pooing done for your hair that not using it hasn't? I would love to try this but I would need several large bottles. Do you dilute your castor oil because it's so thick when I put it on my hair it feels like I am pulling it out with it? Do you apply castor oil to dry hair or wet hair? And what kind of castor oil do you use?
Sorry for so many questions.

No problem. Yeah I think it does helps keep the hair from being stripped and keeps the hair from getting too tangly. I have a 32 oz bottle of The Palma Christi Castor Oil. I don't use a lot on each section maybe like a tablespoon tops. I pour it in my palm and then rub my hands to spread it out so it's not as thick. Then I carefully smooth it on. Because it is so thick, it coats really well. Most times I do it on dry hair but I have done it on wet before. I don't tug my hair as I am smoothing it down and since it is on both palms it spreads fairly easily. I use my fingers to go through and feel and while I am getting out the tangles, I am also making sure the strands get coated. I hope that makes sense.

Honestly once you find what works and get a good regimen down, your hair will thrive. I saw some of your pics and your hair looks good. Sometimes I am tempted to want to try this and that but if it ain't broke then don't fix it. HTH Q

Great story! I love to hear positivity like that. I know this is off topic, but I just had to say that your daughter is too cute! She has great hair just like her mom and is a real looker
Thanks girlie. Yeah her hair is the bomb. It is so soft, detangles easily, and is long. She looks just like her dad though so I can't take too much credit for the looks.
