HOW I DETANGLE MY HAIR.

From the start of my hair journey, I detangled my hair when it was wet i.e after deep conditioning. I thought it was ok as long as I used a conditioner with a lot of slip and as long as I had a wide tooth comb with me.

Well, recently I tried to detangle my hair with olive oil while it was still dry and I used my FINGERS!!!!!!!!! No wide tooth comb or denim brush or tangle teezer . A few months ago, if you had talked to me about “finger detangling” I’d have told you “Nigga please! Whose got time for that??’ But now I like it and I think il be doing that a lot more.

Finger detangling is using your fingers to comb your hair and remove all the knots and tangles without the use of combs, brushes or any other hair tools.

PRO’s of finger detangling.

There is less hair loss during the process. Fingers are sensitive unlike combs and are able to deal with tangles and knots without tearing the hair apart.

CONS of finger detangling.

It takes FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! OMG. It is the most time consuming process in my natural hair care. And sometimes I  actually dread it. *sigh*

TIPS FOR SUCEESSFUL DETANGLING:

• Be patient.

• Detangle from ends to roots and not the other way round.

• Work in sections, this helps a lot.

• Use an oil or a conditioner to add slip.

Do you do a wet detangling or a dry detangling??? Which one do you prefer?
