So true! My hair has forced me to learn patience! I’m also deciding to commit to detangle more frequently to avoid having to do such extensive detangling at once.
I'm glad to see that I've been detangling correctly & the amount of shed hair is normal. Tomorrow is my "hair day" so I'll be putting your tips to work. 👍🏾
Girl you hella brave for putting your hair in knots to separate it. I know you know what you’re doing with hour hair and your it is admirable! I would be trying to get them out for 50 leven days !
I really enjoyed watching this video. It's always nice to see how others deal with and manage their hair, as well the techniques used. There are similarities in how you and I detangle, however I am currently on a finger detangling only challenge. Before that, I would take similar steps using different products though. My oil of choice is olive oil but I recently discovered okra as a great detangling agent. Thanks for this video and your great tips😊🤎
I’ll be using this method to detangle in a few weeks when I remove my knotless braids. I usually use olive oil instead of castor oil but I’ll try castor oil next time. Thanks for the tips!
Omg!!! What a beautiful blessed Crown!!! How encouraging to watch very very informative thank you for sharing knowledge as you know being natural isn’t a easy breeze but I love my kinky curls I love that we share and care for each other! Much love and blessing ❤️💋🙏🏻
Great tips, thank you! Appreciate your thoroughness! Sometimes life gets in the way and we end up with matted tangled hair! I will definitely try your method! Tfs! 👍🏽
You have beautiful thick and long hair! Your right we must be patient with our hair because for the most part when is ladies get impatient we get to pulling on our hair and being harsh to it!!
@@lovelyhope2664 thank you! Efficiently Natural and I go way back and there are lots of parallels between our routines. We have slightly different, yet interchangeable ways of achieving the same result. The underlying principles are the same or similar.
You were able to explain things so well. That's pretty much what I do except that I do not use a comb at that stage. I only use my comb under running water while holding each section of my hair to minimize shrinkage. Great video!
Very thorough! Excellent tips for detangling. You definitely have to be in the right mindset to accomplish this minimizing damage to the strands. I didn't see any reversion even though water was used. Thank you for sharing.
By watching hair videos for the past year and a half, I'm learning how to handle my 3c-4a fine textured, tangly hair. I had been using way too much moisture and oil causing tender scalp, bumps, knots and much shedding. Last week I used hand squeezed aloe vera leaf gel, unblended, as a pre-poo leave-in. After two days, I added a blend of light oils on my scalp and strands overnight. On wash day, I rinsed very well then shampooed once, rinsed and used a 3 minute conditioner and rinsed. I put hair into 8 twists and did not touch for 5 days. I wear a cap and wig to go out. On day five my hair still felt soft and not dry. I detangled with a little bit of water and tiny amount of coconut oil and retwisted. I had the least amount of knots (2) and shedding ever! By not doing the LOC method after washing, my scalp felt so much better. Tomorrow is wash day and I will now do this regimen each week. Less is more for my fine strands.
Is your hair low porosity? Mine is higher porosity and shrinks with minimal amounts of water so I do not put water on it in this stretched state, I just put oil/grease on the length and it’s fairly manageable. Come to think about it, my mom did this on my hair when I was a child and it worked back then. Nobody detangled with water/on wet hair. I see lots of people in the comments saying they are concerned about shrinking. One thing y’all could do is heat the hair when you put oil in it, like a hot oil treatment.
I honestly don't know my hair porosity! It's probably about time that I find out since I get so many questions about it. Lol I imagine it varies based on different sections of my hair. The back of my hair shrinks a ton with minimal water...the front not as much.
I don't use water to detangle but I moisturise my hair daily but I keep it stretched with clips and twists. I detangle weekly with a store bought detangler/pre-poo, oil and/or butter before wetting my hair. I have ultra-fine, high porosity, ultra-coily, ultra-dry, awkward length 4c hair.
How long did this take you? I have the same thing happen as some others in the comments, even a little water will start the shrinkage... maybe using a mixture of aloe and oil will help. Regardless, easy to follow instructions, no awkward breaks between your VO and what’s happening in the video. Well edited. Very nice!
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel! ❤️ I started transitioning from relaxed hair in 2009 and had shoulder length relaxed hair at the time. I was fully natural (no more relaxed ends) by 2015. And here we are in 2021! So it has been a long journey . 😀
Your hair is growing still and it's look so healthy and beautiful and so do you. I know this is a hair tutorial I would like to send a comment about your make up. It is so pretty. Did you do it yourself? You look so pretty and you wear that white coat well. I noticed you had it on in your video intro. You look good in it. Congratulations.
❤️ awww, thank you so so much!!! Yes I did it. I’ve been trying to learn how to do makeup over the last few months so your compliment means so much to me..I’ve been pretty clueless about makeup for the longest time but my sis in law has been teaching me. Hahaha, yes I try to wear my white coat from time to time. Lol..thanks!
Good video!!! But how can you detangle your hair while you are trying to get in its straight state or stretched...that's my problem because I try to keep my blown out hair in that state as long as possible.
When you finger detangle your hair do you detangle/separate strands that have naturally clumped together? As my hair has grown longer the length of intertwined strands extends all the way down and I usually try to separate them meticulously, which can take a very long time. Quite often I have to keep separating the clumps as they become smaller with fewer strands each time and it can get quite tedious. I only properly detangle once a month when I undo the braids to wash my hair and I never use combs, brushes, tools or heat ever. 99% of the time my hair is in medium braids with my own hair and I only wash my hair in larger braids after I have completed the detangling process. The prep stage for washing is by far the most time-consuming aspect and once I'm past that its much easier, but it does take way more time than I would like. I'm a very busy person and there is always so much to do, so I do find it difficult and frustrating to justify spending so much time on my hair...You're a doctor, so I'm sure it's something you definitely understand, which I guess is of course why your channel is called 'efficiently natural'!! I'm curious to know how thoroughly one should detangle to keep the hair healthy? My main concern is that if I don't make sure the naturally clumped strands are separated it will eventually dread or cause breakage when I try styles where I have to part my hair. It would be great to know if you have a view or any tips on this? In the video I see you use a comb quite confidently, this is something I just can't bring myself to do. In 2018 I went to get my hair cornrowed and I found the combing process very traumatic even though my hair was conditioned and moisturised. I haven't been near a hairdresser since and no one else has been near my hair.
I can completely relate to you on this. How thoroughly I choose to detangle my hair has been something I have gone back and forth on over the years. I honestly think that for someone with hair on the kinkier side of the spectrum the degree of detangling is going to be entirely dictated by how you choose to style your hair. There is a balance between detangling enough so that your hair doesn’t dread and detangling too much such that you’re actually causing more mechanical damage than good. For someone who wears hair in individual braids with their own hair most of the time, I don’t think that style necessary requires that every single tangle be removed...but I would tend to try to unclump the hairs that are stuck together during the detangling process and remove as many shed hairs as possible. For someone who mostly wears their hair straight, i.e., blow drys or flat ironed for stretched styles then it would be necessary to get most of the tangles out for these styles to have a smoother appearance. Over the years I’ve sort of gone between detangling thoroughly (when I’m planning to blow dry/flat iron and every tangle needs to be removed) and not as throughly (sometimes if I’m twisting my hair up, doing braids outs/twist outs). Generally speaking my hair does best with less mechanical manipulation and when I don’t over detangle. In those instances when I’m trying to detangle just enough (but not prior to straightening), I focus on making sure all the shed hairs are out and hairs are moving in the same direction and without discrete knots. I think un-clumping is probably important at this stage because often the clump may be harboring some shed hairs that need to come out. The comb for me helps In that last step/confirmation that shed hairs are our and the hair is all moving in the same direction. I also can’t remember the last time I went to someone to do my hair - I’ve found people just don’t have the patience that I have with it. I wholeheartedly agree with you that doing my natural hair takes up way too much space and time in my life considering all the other things I could be doing so I’ve tended towards protective styles for this reason. It’s my mission though to try to find ways to change this!! It shouldn’t have to be this time consuming.
@@EfficientlyNatural 🤩🙌 Aww, thanks so much for taking the time to comprehensively respond to my problem. It's much appreciated and really helpful. What you say is logical and makes complete sense.

I have ultra-fine hair and a sensitive scalp so I have to detangle weekly to shampoo my scalp. I have to use a seamless comb because I can't feel all the ultra-fine strands to remove.
Omg..It takes me toooo long. But it honestly depends on how long I wait between detangling sessions. I put it off this time so this was definitely a two day job with maybe around 3-4 hours each day. Wish I I had timed it to know for sure! But I feel your pain. Trying to come up with a better solution for this.
@@NaturallyHigh ❤❤❤❤ Eeekkkkk!!😍😍😍 I love your channel! Its because of you that I now wash in twists - game changer! And that is relieving to know. Im thinking ill just break up my detangling sessions into 3hr incriments versus doing it for 6😂
This was so encouraging. I do mine more or less like this. I've not tried using a heavy oil, but I have resumed pre-poos. My hair isn't as long as yours, so pre-poos aren't as much of a headache. Seeing your shed pile was also a sanity check for me. I still sort of cringe at mine like I should be bald at this point, so this makes me less angsty. I will investigate the JBCO. Do you have a recommended brand?
I have used many different brands in the past and they all have worked well/similarly...with variations mostly in the thickness/smell/color. This was my first time using the JBCO by shea moisture and I was pleasantly surprised by the thickness/consistency and think I'll be using it again. I've previously used the brand by NOW foods (very mild smell) and that works well.... lol have even used the little blue bottle of castor oil from CVS that's marketed as a digestive substance and that's pretty good too. Many many choices..=)
I detangle weekly on sectioned and twisted and clipped up hair. The amount lost is less scary than the 4-6-10-12 weekly detangling some people attempt.
Don't know how your hair still stayed stretched while doing this...my hair bunches up all the time...if mine could stay stretched like when blow Dried that would be great
Yes - I think it’s a combination of things. I didn’t get my hair very wet throughout the process so that helped keep it stretched. Secondly..the front half of my hair tends to not get as much shrinkage as the back half of my hair (which unfortunately I did not have enough time to show towards the end. The back definitely bunches up much much more as soon as a bit of water touches it. But all in all using small amounts of water and quickly following that up with oil helps a ton.
@@kerriewithpurpose5722 Hi to her answer I would also add that the longer my hair stays stretch and without the addition of water, the longer it will take to shrink back up when touch by a little bit of water. So keeping a stretch style and not touching it for a while (at least a week is very helpful to me) rather than moisturizing my hair every day. I'll make sure to moisturize my hair well when I style it because then I don't touch it until its time to detangle!
@@kerriewithpurpose5722 I have shorter but finer hair. I use hair sectioning clips like what they use in the salon and keep the sections twisted and clipped out of the way. I divide my hair into 24 sections. I detangle weekly with oil, butter, pre poo or a detangler with aloe, slippery elm or marshmallow root.
@@EfficientlyNatural There are several videos showing how simple it is to churn butter from heavy cream in a food processor then apply the fresh butter to your scalp and hair. Here's one link where her texture is closer to 4c. I can see this working for you as a highly efficient detangling method. If you try it, please post a video, as well as your wash and condition method. I used African black soap to wash it out without stripping all the moisture out from regular shampoo. ruclips.net/video/g_u2HUu-REk/видео.html
@@heredianna2496 Agreed👍🏾. It's the same reasoning just a different product. You can even just use ghee butter instead of churning heavy cream to make butter in a blender. Lol people have even been using whipped butter, lard, bear grease, vegetable shortening and so on for this matter. Thank you 🙏🏾
Wish I had seen this video when my postpartum shedding started. Lost so much hair. Your videos helped me protect my hair from further loss (protective styles, I keep my hair braided and stretched most of the time. Baby loves to pull my hair and these styles help protect my hair). Biggest complaint for me with natural hair is the tangling and matting. Thank you so much for the tips. My hair has grown insanely long because of your tips. Time for me to work on thickness (preventing breakage). ❤️ also you are gorgeous!!
Chile, your hair looks like wool, very thick, beautiful. I’m praying for my hair grow out too and it is in Jesus Name
This is THEE best video explaining how to detangle 4C high shrinkage hair preventing mechanical damage!
Awwww! Thank you!! Really appreciate the kind words and support. 🤗
It’s the volume for me!!!! Honestly, this is a reminder for me to carve out time to detangle so that I can be more gentle and avoid breakage.
So true! My hair has forced me to learn patience! I’m also deciding to commit to detangle more frequently to avoid having to do such extensive detangling at once.

I went out and brought a Qredew. Wish I had found your video before hand
Honestly wish I had one too!! Lol! I think they can be very very useful as well when used appropriately.
Have you ever detangled in the shower, with using a little water at a time?
I definitely have. It works well too! But I prefer having my hair a little more stretched to detangle. I’ve certainly done both from time to time.
I've started doing the Ethiopian butter method. Try it and you'll see the shed hairs slide right out
Do tell!!!
@@EfficientlyNatural There are several videos showing how simple it is to churn butter from heavy cream in a food processor then apply the fresh butter to your scalp and hair. Here's one link where her texture is closer to 4c. I can see this working for you as a highly efficient detangling method. If you try it, please post a video, as well as your wash and condition method. I used African black soap to wash it out without stripping all the moisture out from regular shampoo. ruclips.net/video/g_u2HUu-REk/видео.html
@@HadassahSikani Many people do the same thing with olive oil or coconut oil. You just need to use an oil or butter with a lot of slip.
Sounds like it would be really neat to try! I’ll make it a point to test it out. Thanks!
@@heredianna2496 Agreed👍🏾. It's the same reasoning just a different product.
You can even just use ghee butter instead of churning heavy cream to make butter in a blender. Lol people have even been using whipped butter, lard, bear grease, vegetable shortening and so on for this matter. Thank you 🙏🏾
Ughhh detanglinng is sooo draining. I have curly hair and it gets super tangled.
So true!!
Worse part of being natural 😭 detangling
0:15 your kitchen looks so much longer 🤗
Thanks for noticing!! ❤️
Do ya'll see her facial expressions??? Yes that's what your face does when detangling 4c hair. 😂
😂🤣😂 so true!!!
Beautiful 😊😊😘🥰
Wow. That’s a lot of hair. I dread detangling my hair. Sooo much hair comes out. I’m surprised I’m not bald 👩🏽🦲
Lol! I feel the same
Wish I had seen this video when my postpartum shedding started. Lost so much hair. Your videos helped me protect my hair from further loss (protective styles, I keep my hair braided and stretched most of the time. Baby loves to pull my hair and these styles help protect my hair). Biggest complaint for me with natural hair is the tangling and matting. Thank you so much for the tips. My hair has grown insanely long because of your tips. Time for me to work on thickness (preventing breakage). ❤️ also you are gorgeous!!
