Detangling

There are so many methods of doing this. Some do it in the shower, some with conditioner in their hair, some on dry hair before washing, some on dry hair after washing.

When I started my hair journey, I used to detangle when I was done my DC right before I rinsed the conditioner out. But somehow, I thought it was too sticky and gooey. So, I started detangling in the shower...but my hair (the strands) is fine. very fine. So they tangle up quite a bit since I only finger comb in between washes and detangling in the shower wasn't allowing me the time I needed to comb through before the product was washed out, plus I couldn't see what I was doing.

So this is what I settled on.

*when air drying.
I wash, conditioner, whatever then wrap my hair in a tshirt for about 10 mins, then detangle in sections using my huge comb and leave in. Details: I do a little finger comb first then use fingers to separate hair into 2 sections. I apply my leave in (HE LTR or NTM) then comb from end up. Repeat on other side.

Last night I airdried - detangle results

*when roller setting.

Then as I part the smaller sections to roller set, I use an even smaller comb to detangle more before I roll.

As you can imagine, my hair gets a better detangle when I'm roller setting.

I always think too much hair comes out.

Went home, hit the shower. Cowashed with HE LTR, then used my garlic cond/JBCO mix to DC, then covered and headed to the gym.

Detangled, scarf tied at front to calm NG, heading to bed.

Still a little damp in the morning. May soon have to start with my hats again. It is COLD in the mornings and I don't wanna get sick.
