 today to discuss demonstrate my frustrations when it comes to detangling my hair. The one thing that I don't look forward to at all, the one thing that I just not necessarily that I struggle with but it just irks me is detangling my hair and it's something that you just have to do you have to stay on top of especially when you have for tight hair when you have thick hair and dense hair. Now my hair can hold a lot of a lot of mysteries and a lot of problems. Now I typically detangle my hair of course prior to washing my hair. I have tried everything. I've tried all type of products. I've tried leaving conditioner, rinse out conditioner. I've tried DIY recipes which honestly my favorite just so happens to be nappy headed jojoba's recipe but sometimes I can't go and get all those ingredients because that recipe has a lot of stuff in it you know and most of the time when it's time for me to actually wash my hair I go to YouTube for inspiration you know I type in natural hair wash day. Sometimes my videos come up like I don't look at me doing my hair. I want to get inspiration from someone else so you know I'll look up natural hair wash day. I'll look up detangling four C hair or four type hair. Quick detangle and I have tried some of those videos. I tried Whitney's aka natural 85. I also have tried what is her name my natural sisters you know with Tony the three sisters out in Texas I tried her quick and the shower basically you have to do what works best for you your hair type your patients level so I typically like I said I detangle my hair I have to for me to detangle the day before because depending on the state of what is in it's gonna take a couple hours okay and I detangle on dry hair using some things I'm gonna show you guys exactly what I use and how I go about it. Now lately if you notice in my previous styling video my hair wasn't looking right because my hair wasn't properly detangled so again it's something you have to say on top of so for the past three weeks I've really been half assing it for lack of better words this is what we're gonna do I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna be using and then we're gonna unwrap what we got going on here and start properly detangling my hair I'm going to start from the front and work my way to the back now you're not gonna see everything but what I'm gonna do it's really is not that great on this side now I start off by using warm water in a spray bottle and I was gifted this nifty diffie sprayer and it just does this that just went everywhere okay conditioners I use a combination of different conditioners with great slip and oil sometimes I use a little bit more oil than I need to it depends on again how um how tangled my hair is so look already but goodie we got swabs coconut conditioner and I'm gonna turn down the brightness so you guys can really see me yeah I thought that brightness down so you can really see me so I have swabs coconut conditioner I'll go through this she's about halfway done and then VO five strawberries and cream moisturizing conditioner okay I have tons of different hair clips here at least eight I'm missing some one two three four five yeah I don't have six I'm gonna need some more but let's just go ahead and make sure that I have us here now as far as detangling tools I do have several videos demonstrating how I use everything from the Felicia leatherwood detangling brush wooden combs and my hands I don't know where my Felicia leatherwood brush is at I mean I could not take ownership and say someone stole it but anybody still in my stuff in my house girl so I have misplaced that brush but that is okay because I rarely use that I'm gonna show you some of the things I have here and we're gonna go look at this a bunch of combs okay typically when you look at detangling natural hair videos you always see someone not always but oftentimes you'll see someone detangling their hair with a wide tooth comb looking like this in my opinion this is way too wide now I tend to go in between different tools and I'll show you that but this is way too wide because you're not gonna get all the tangles out of your hair is you know very tangled so this is just a typical shower comb I oftentimes will use something this wide if I've already detangled my hair and I'm going in the shower and then I'm raking the conditioner through okay that's what this is good for a pic afro pic can be awesome and look the teeth are not that wide in between they're great it's very sturdy you can get down in there alright this is my nifty-difty comb you see now the teeth are getting a little bit smaller okay and then we have wooden combs now I have two different type of wooden combs I purchased both of these through amazon.com which I will be linking below so as you can see this one has wider teeth this is the one I use because it's very similar to the afro pic if I line see very similar to the afro pic all right so all right y'all let's get right into the madness okay so this is an old perm rat set she is about five days old okay and I've just been having a headscarf on and yeah I know I have bobby pins all throughout here so I'm gonna make sure that we get this all down you know it would be great if someone came up with a mobile detangling service and you know what I'll pay good money for that come over you know you can serve some orders and well I feel like I have another bobby pin in here somewhere but yeah you know you know someone needs to come out with some mobile detangling service so that those of us who are looking like this you know we could have someone help us out all right all right y'all so child I'm looking like the hamburger you know that you know that you'd be wearing that crazy cock head looking head I mean my hair looks like that damn okay Vivian let me just go ahead and start sectioning my hair off okay we'll be talking to y'all someone doing this cuz it's gonna be boring if all you see me just doing my hair right girl okay all right y'all so while I am sectioning my hair off did any of you guys catch the little interaction between send all an African hair god child look let me tell you something when you are a content creator and you decide to put yourself out there it is what it is people will you know you're basically open for criticism you know I get it everyone get gets it you go through it you either can move past it and we you determine as the person receiving the criticism you can determine how you deal with it and depending on what it is too so I'll give you guys a quick view if you not you know not give you a quick overview of of you what happened all right y'all so this is what this backside is not too bad let's just be honest so let's just go ahead and clip that up and get down to the business which is all right y'all I'm telling you I I get on as a youtuber I watch YouTube there ain't nothing that frustrates me more when I get on YouTube and searching for a video for matted matted tangled hair preferably 4b and I see 3a all over my screen or some other like what I want this is not even tangled really at this point it's not that tangled you know cuz it's a little bit blown out but my one video that has quite a bit of a hitch that was matted hair but it could have been even more matted you know I mean like right now my hair is tangled because I could put my hand sign here and the tangles are right there it's stopping right there it's not going anywhere else so I need to bring these tangles down okay so I need to further separate this and get down to business yeah see this isn't you know I've only seen a handful of videos where the person's hair was really matted only a few now at this point I'm gonna go with a little bit of conditioner okay I see I'm bringing those tangles down I'm working that through now I'm gonna take my wooden comb I'm gonna start at the bottom it worked my way up taking my time now now that I'm up here I'm gonna work that down see how I'm working down the hair chef and see now I can slide my fingers through the hair because it is properly detangled and I'm gonna go ahead and twist that up and I do wash my hair while it's still in twist meaning using shampoo if you guys see my hair loose in my shower videos I'm just doing it for y'all I don't girl I'm just doing it for added effect you know I typically cleanse my scalp and my hair while it's still in twist because it's just gonna get you just makes it easier okay now this isn't again this isn't bad at all it really isn't but it's still if I put my think yeah my finger gets stuck right there so I have a type of hair also I will be putting my hair in loose two-strand twist but I have to watch it one year I left the man for about two and a half weeks and certain pieces started to lock up so I'm getting a little bit it's getting really hard here somewhere so I'm getting a little bit of matting so I need to take my time with this area yeah I could feel it feels like a patch you know what I mean it feels like a patch when it starts to mad a patch of hair a patch of matted hair basically I'm gonna take a little bit of conditioner work that in now let's see now that section is to tangle I made it brighter you guys so you can see that you can see that that's why it's so bright right now I'm gonna twist that up at my son JB who was now six years old I felt like my hair texture had changed something had changed my hair of course got thicker I did experience some postpartum shedding around this area around here which you know it's since has grown back but besides that I felt like my hair became well since it was thicker of course I was gonna have issues with detangling my hair I just feel like it was it was for a while there it was harder for me to detangle my hair yeah so this section is not bad at all so yeah let's just get into this video we saw or I'm putting you in it too so like I said earlier in the video as a fellow content creator I know that when I put information out here that you know not everyone's gonna agree with it and there are gonna be people who are gonna have their own opinions and that is fine as long as you come at me you know you're coming at me sideways I'm open to any type of constructive criticism and I think that's just the type of mindset you have to have and sometimes people you know will say things in a way that you know you may not like it but that's just how it is you know so getting back to African hair god does reaction videos and honestly they both do reaction videos I'm send all who is a hairstylist and African hair god is also a hairstylist still let you guys know now I discovered African hair god after he did a he has very informative videos and he was detangling a young lady's matted severely matted hair okay so that's how I discovered him and I just like him for the information that he shares as a natural hairstylist okay and then I can't remember exactly how I discovered send all but I'm pretty sure it was due to one of her she's known for what is it the flantern videos and the silk presses and even though I would never get one of those done on my hair just because I really don't care to see my hair straighten because I know me I would be like yay five hours to doing this and I miss my curls that's just how I am but I appreciate her as a content creator and the information that she provides now I don't agree with everything that send all says I don't have to I don't agree with everything African hair god you know puts on I know send all had several videos as it relates to rice water and their rice water videos are the dangers of rice water and I will say always do your own research in my opinion when it comes to research like that is that a great hair girl we don't I this is a new one for me and she's so disrespectful so anyway I'm the one person who I appreciate the most and I even I still do my research after looking at her it's the green beauty channel and she does have a video several videos the green beauty channel does as it relates to rice water so this particular let's get to the point this particular reaction video African hair god was looking at different natural hair videos and just given his commentary on what he thought the particular video he looked at first of all I in my opinion I thought the video that he reacted to a send all wasn't one of her best videos so the video that he reacted to was of her detangling a child a young lady's natural hair and when I tell you it looked like she was ripping through that poor girl's hair it literally did now understand that the footage was fast forwarded okay it was sped up so it could appear like that just because it was fast it was sped up but even then it just seemed like she was wasn't properly detangling her hair there were comments that someone said that and I don't know if this is true or not but the little girl in the video was crying and all this stuff I don't know about that I saw only bits and clips of the video and it's still up so she was not happy about African hair god reacting to her video one thing I will say is that sent all to say in her video when she was detangling the young girl's hair she did say that she already had started detangling before she came on so her hair wasn't as matted okay she did say that she said at the beginning of the video okay so and I remember that um even though you know like I said everyone has the right to you have to be open you guys um she has since removed meaning send all has since removed a video she made in reaction to his video and then he made a video so yeah it went back and forth like that he made a video basically state in that you know this isn't about you to summarize it my video my reaction video wasn't about you it was a collection of reaction of different hairstyles and she was one of them but she didn't take it so likely so I think she left either a comment on that video or Instagram I believe she left a comment on that video completely is it sent out from Detroit y'all I feel like she's from somewhere where they they get bug we say that in Texas but you know what I mean they snap and so she kind of snap but not really um in her reaction video to his or her response basically to his reaction video there were a couple of her subscribers who were basically stating you need to be open you seem to be very defensive and she responds and it's very I don't want to say it's because I don't think she's passive aggressive it's almost condescending thank you for your feedback but but again I think she's just trying to keep it she's trying to keep it calm she's not trying to go there I'm send all is one of those type of people that I think she's an empath and she's one of those type of people that she she does get into her feelings and I could tell that their reaction video he made really triggered her even though it wasn't all about her but still she felt like it was so like I said she since removed her video I think he's made two videos since then and y'all I mean it is what it is let me tell you something if he ever anyone was ever to react to any of my videos were there be good or bad I will be I would welcome it but then again look I'm not a stylist I'm not a licensed cosmetologist so you know my credentials aren't you know what I mean so I guess my thing is that I will almost go honored I'm like yes drag me I woke no don't drag me but you know what I mean so I don't know I don't know so anyway enough of that I am look at that look at that slowly undo that part I need to make this smaller now let me show you the example of going through with a big comb okay this is the big shower comb right now this section this part is not that tangled and she's about a 4b maybe some 4a in there but she's definitely a 4b okay so that's with me going through with this huge shower comb right now let's go on the wooden comb and see if I got everything see now she's nagging yeah see that's why I you know I saw that people who sometimes use those big shower combs to initially detangle their hair I just don't think it can get everything out I really don't I mean I get you know the weirdest comments you guys lately the man have been snapping child has somebody on one of my um had to delete it some comments I do delete some of them like whatever I had someone comment on their rice for the video that you're already you already have long hair so you're not a good candidate for this I don't think I had long hair when I started that my hair was 9 inches in the back okay I had medium length hair when I started that challenge but hey she thinks I have long hair thank you um you know I've had other you know not too crazy comments you can see the trolls every now and then but the men have been getting out of control I had someone on one of my food videos basically stated that he wants to pay on my meat I'm like okay um thank you for the offer I had someone not too long ago stated that he loves my armpits and he wants to sniff them yeah your ass got he got deleted and removed and you know when it gets weird like that like yeah no but I just think that was crazy so anyway I am working out on the back and she's not even not even close to being tangled I mean I yeah I hardly have even though I've done only about you know four or five parts there's hardly no hair now I could pull tangles on this side see isn't that crazy now my hair is already look at that just the shrinkage is so angry I mean my shrinkage is just angry for no reason look at that you guys you have to you have to remember or maybe you don't know my hair is past my bra but look at her one 15 45 minutes 45 minutes and I hear really wasn't that tangled let me show you how much hair has came out going between all of it now I normally don't use all of these tools that you see here but and honestly I need to put some away because I don't want to be going in between so I will probably just keep the afro pick in the wooden comb use those two and yeah so let me gather up all of my shaded hair which really wasn't that bad this is how much we had for now okay and again Mike was not that I mean it was tangled and it was a little matted in one or two areas but not bad not bad at all she's been worse let me tell you she has been worse so yeah 45 minutes just for that side and this will probably take me another 45 minutes or so to do it's what it is girl it's something that we all have to do so let me know you guys how do you detangle your hair let me know how you do it how do you get through it um are you drinking when you're doing my miss early so just pour yourself a glass of wine and just sit down and start doing it and also let me say this when you are taking out a protective style please make sure to properly detangle your hair I would not recommend depending on I would not recommend shampooing your hair directly after I'm taking out a protective style and I've seen people who do that and that just especially if you're using something that it's a it's a Cleanson agent it's gonna lock up your hair it's gonna lock up that dirt is gonna yeah no I wouldn't recommend doing that and I know it can be overwhelming with all of the information that is out here but you also have to keep in mind um take me as an example I've had to change my arrangement depending on my length okay I started off with a shaving head you guys I could do everything in the shower up until the three year mark um yes I could probably detangle my hair in the shower but I will be wasting a lot of water and that's just not right so that is it everyone I'm gonna start getting on this side praying that we can get through it within 45 minutes which I think I can do all right thank you so much for watching take care
