 Hey, you guys, so girl, do not, do not, I know you probably confused, why does she have on Christmas stuff? We thought it was the summertime. It is, it is, but I'm comfortable. So in this video, I'm gonna be showing you guys how I basically detangle my hair. I know I have several videos on how I detangle my hair, but it's been a while, it's been a couple of years. So this is just a basic detangling routine. No pre-poo, no special ingredients, none of that. Okay, we're gonna use just very simple, affordable products that you could find at your local store, whatever. So my hair was in mini twists. My hair was in mini twists for two weeks. Yeah, we're gonna have to get that out. So one of the first things I do, of course, is to separate my hair. Now I do have some of these hair accessories in that I was just too lazy to take out. I'm just being real with y'all. So I know personally that there are some areas in my hair that are extremely, I don't wanna say it's tangled, it's matted. And it's matted in the middle of the hair shaft because I was being lazy and didn't want to properly detangle my hair. So one of the first things I'm going to do is separate my hair and then we're gonna apply what I'm using. Before we did, let me go over what I'm using. So I have here coconut oil that I have melted down. I know the light's a little glaring. I've melted that down in a bowl. Now coconut oil is typically not my friend. I only use this when I detangle or if I'm gonna be rinsing out my hair. I rarely use coconut oil as I leave an oil. No, she's not my friend. And then we have a conditioner, suave tropical conditioner. Love the stuff, very affordable, I'm here for it. And then I have some water and a spray bottle. That is it, y'all, because it's the process, okay? All right, and I have hair clips here and I have a number of different detangling tools but please keep in mind that I will be mostly finger detangling and then I will go in with a comb. So I have a wooden comb, a wide tooth comb and then we have the Felicia leatherwood brush. Now I will be linking, I have videos on all of this stuff, even comparison videos. So I will be linking that all in the cards. Now, girl, I know I get some comments that are like, oh, I can't wait to get your length. Are you sure about that? Because when you get this length, bear in mind that you also have to detangle and wash. And if you wanna look cute, style this length, okay? So I'm gonna turn around to the back, y'all. I can feel, I'm feeling, I'm expecting my hair and I can feel some knots towards the end too, okay? So, yeah. Now, it's not that bad back here. I think the matted hair is mostly on this side. So let's go ahead and get started, y'all. I'm gonna try to unravel some of these sections before, you know, unravel some of the twists, excuse me. What is that? See, I can see some, I can feel something that feels, my hair isn't locking up, thank God. But I need to be careful because another week and she will start locking up, okay? I'm just going through the mixture that I have all the twists down because I know for a fact, see, y'all, you can't be lazy. I did not unravel some of these twists all the way through, praying to Jesus. What the hell is that? You see, you know what I'm saying? I feel a bobby pin. Is there a bobby pin? All right, you guys, there's what we're gonna be working with, okay? So let's just start sectioning it off. It's going to be applying the mixture into my hair. I'm gonna let this sit in my hair a couple of hours and then I'm gonna come back on cam to properly detangle. So we're gonna split this up even more. I'm gonna lightly spray my hair with water, squeeze that in, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. Now I personally don't want my hair soaking wet, okay? This is okay. And this honestly could probably be, you know, divided up into another section so we ain't gonna do that. I'm gonna apply the conditioner and then I'm gonna dip my hands into the oil here and we're going to bring that down the hair shaft too. Twist this up in a large twist. Are we gonna do that for each section? Okay? Took one big handful of conditioner and now what I'm gonna do, I already have shitted hair coming out. I'm going to clip my hair up, pulling on a plastic cap. Baby, she's done. Look at it. This is so damn loose. Excuse my language. And then put it on a bonnet. Okay, see, I'm not going nowhere Monique, I'm saying. Honestly, I'm gonna be staying inside the house and yeah, a couple of hours, okay? And then that's when once it's been sitting in there heat up a little bit, that's when we're gonna be taking down each section and finger detangle and then go in with one of my tools here to further detangle, okay? All right, you guys. So it has been a couple of hours. As you could tell, I actually took off the plastic and just left the bonnet on. I'm gonna start at the back of my hair because this is the struggle section. Just separate my hair in smaller sections and I'm gonna go in first to finger detangle and then I'm gonna go in with a comb. I think it's very crucial that you ensure that you properly detangle your hair because what happens to you guys, how you end up with extremely matted hair is if you do not detangle your hair properly and you go in with a shampoo, that can cause the matte entangles to be even worse. So I have noticed the past year since I've been really taking care of detangling my hair, cleansing my hair properly and just overall taking care of my hair, my hair is not as matted. I also ensure, especially when my hair is in twist, that my hair is properly moisturized, especially at the roots. Roots, excuse me. So as you can see here, I use several different type of detangling tools. This right here is definitely a leatherwood brush. My favorite detangling tool has to be the wooden comb. I will be linking in the cards all of the different type of detangling videos I've done in the past, okay? We're there. So one of the great things or benefits I should say about finger detangling is that you can actually feel where the areas are matted. You can feel where the problems are at within your hair as opposed to using a tool first, which is why I prefer to finger detangle first. Then I follow up, like I said, with a comb. So just doing the front of my hair. Now the front of my hair is not so bad. It's actually a different texture. So it's not as matted, but I do know there were some sections that were a little bit hard, like down the middle of my hair shaft, which is very odd. So anyway, just continuing here to go through my hair. And y'all, I'm gonna end this video fairly soon. This entire process though took me only, I'm gonna say only, it only took me one and a half hours, which is not bad. So that is it you guys. Thank you so much for watching. Take care. Bye.
