with this method do you get loads of tangles and shrinkage? I'd love to be able to do this as opposed to washing my hair in twists but i'm so scared my hair will get majorly detangled when it dries :(

[cynthiarf]

thats why i do it this way-to keep the tangles down! as long as u manip the same way and pull OUT the way hair grows i found i dont need to twist first - and i have a lot of hair so any extra steps i can cut out is a plus! lol

the vertical parts is the trick, but shrinkage, well havent found a remedy for that yet! :)

to avoid tangles after, let air dry w/o touching it!! only rub moisturizers in if needed - but do this again b4 u try to rework it - manip'g dry hair is a no no

Do you get water in your ears? how do you avoid water from getting in your ears?? I have natural hair as well and I wet it everyday. I've been having pain in my ears and don't know if it's caused by water or not. PLEASE reply quickly! Thanks! :-/

[cynthiarf]

hmmm, might need to see a dr....you shouldnt be getting anymore than u did just showering

So when you stopped combing so much you saw LESS knots? I never thought to do that. I have knots like crazy. How long was it before you noticed less knots?

[cynthiarf]

yup, sure did...crazy right? i realized the combs - wide toothed or not - never kept my hair detangled even after just running thru a section, the next pass would still get stuck!! our coils are too small for this - esp if youre trying to keep the definition.

only manipulate wet hair...just pull water and conditioner thru this will release shed hair and any knots can be felt b4 it gets crazy. the more often i re-wetted/ cowashed the less i saw, but i noticed a difference immediately.

If yo keep the door open and/or turn on the vent that may prevent the fogging...

[ShiningThru]

WOW! Your hair is awesome girl! I just love it!

[Nymphe14]

I never thought I would find someone who does their wash-n-goes like I do. I almost want to start my blog back up...

[missfashunoitall]

great advice and tutorial I will definately be trying this

[myspace904]

lol true! the only thing achieved from combing or picking is a unhealthy afro.. plus you lose ALOT of hair.and your head hurts from it.. lol ive tried to grow my hair out (im a guy) with little success so i always end up cutting it.. until now.. lol i like my hair now.. because i dont HAVE to have an afro.. thats a really big myth about black people hair...
