I know many of you have different ways to avoid tangles or to make the detangling section easier. I want to specially thank Sista Angela who decided to share with all of us her detangling experience and amazing pictures!
Hello Naturals!
My Story:
I want to give you an update on a method and products used from last night on my daughter's hair. You may recall that I recently experienced problems with my daughter's hair being tangled very badly. Well I gradually changed my method and products from what I used to use and didn't realize that was a mistake.
Shea Moistures and Cantu are good products but not good when it comes to detangling hair. I don't have that problem so it works good in my hair.
My daughter has thick long hair and it demands a good moisturizing and detangling product! I didn't like her hair from the other day because I had to put so much product in it to detangle it; never again!
Some prayer, some thinking, some research, and purchasing got me back on track.
I had Cream of Nature Detangling Shampoo and it works wonderful; not sure why I stopped using it. Maybe because I was trying other products on her hair and forgot what works best. Anyway, I was in Walgreen and saw Motions Naturally You Deep Conditioning Masque on sale and V05 Detangling Leave-In Spray on sale too. Yes ma'am I purchased both! I don't regret this purchase.
If I had to eliminate one in order to keep my hair care product budget affordable then it would be ... okay, I can't say right now because both are good. One thing is that I saw a instant detangle while rinsing the shampoo out; therefore, it doesn't take much from there.
The Hair Care Process:
I unraveled twist,
applied Cream of Nature shampoo to dry hair,
worked shampoo in from root to ends,
rinsed shampoo,
sectioned hair in 6,
applied Motions DC Masque, kept DC on for at least 15 minutes, rinsed DC,
sectioned hair in 6, sprayed each section with V05 and began to style her hair.
I could part her hair with my fingers and easy parting with a rat tail comb. I'm not good at parting hair, but this was a breeze last night. It took me no time doing her hair. Yes, she got in the bed later than her bedtime but it was worth it. She told me that I didn't hurt her head and thanks mommy! I was so happy that all is well with her concerning her hair care sessions because it's no joke caring for all that long thick hair; it's beautiful and I love how she shows it off to her daddy and thanks me for doing her hair so pretty. WOW, the joys of motherhood! Thanks to each of you that bless me with good information to help me become better at caring for and growing me and my daughter's natural hair.
P.S. Stick with what you know works. It's important to keep a natural hair care and growth journal to record methods, products, and experiences.
Have a Great Day!
Loving My Beautiful Natural Texture!"
That was great Angela, Happy for your Princess' daughter!

I really like this because I have a younger sister who is 10 years old and she hates when our mother does her hair! Although I'm natural, my mother knows nothing about natural hair and isn't really interested in learning more about it. She still thinks relaxers are the best option. She doesn't moisturize my sister's hair before combing through it and that's the biggest issue. My sister's hair becomes dry over the course of the day and once she touches it, she just cries in pain. I've tried talking to her about it but my mother is just so stubborn and won't listen. Fortunately, I know much better and on those rare occasions when I do touch my sister's hair, I'm always gentle and moisturize well.
