After two weeks of no form of detangling whatsoever and more than a month of solely finger detangling, I decided to try dry detangling and really put some of my products to the test.

A Natural’s Living Nightmare
I know most naturals complain of dreams involving relaxers and losing their lovely kinks of nature. I’ve had them also, but here’s a living nightmare: having half-fro, a matted tangled dry fro at that, and half-chunky twists then having to go out. Shame! My hair was a complete mess, which I’ll explain in an upcoming …

She responded quickly and was very helpful. …

Goodbye to Frizz? I Wonder
I don’t know yet if it’s a fluke, but I’m realizing that I get less frizz if I simply don’t section my hair when doing my wash & go’s. My process is below: I get my hair soaking wet then apply a rinse-out conditioner with my head tilted back and then forward. I again lean …
