    I use to spend 2-3 hours "throughly" detangling my 4c hair. I realized trying to make sure to completely detangle my hair was counterproductive because tightly coiled hair will just coil back up again so I detangle my hair just enough to prevent it from matting. Great informative video!

    • @preciousfro
      @preciousfro  2 года назад +37

      Yes! I've definitely been there as well. My detangling sessions are typically long and I hope to cut them down but I think it's because most of them are coming after I've had braids for like 3 months so I usually have a lot of shed hair and build up that I have to deal with. But learning that I didn't have to try to detangle every single knot was freeing! Thanks for watching!

      Yes, I stopped using a comb and started finger detangling my 4c hair about three years now. I also do not shampoo my hair loose anymore, I shampoo while still in their braids, not do I two strands twist my hair often, braids keep my hair stretched and my hair is almost, waist length.

    Im loving that we are understanding our hair more and more! Ive been finger detangling only for about a year now. I keep my hair in braids and wash my hair weekly in the braids. Every month or so I unbraid and detangle and braid back up. It takes many hours to do it but its worth it, and i dont have to manipulate it every day, only once a month. My hair is longer than its ever been now :)

    I'm addicted to the comb, but I've seen how combing less can grow my hair. I realised I was losing the same size ball of hair whether I detangled every week or once a month. That's when I determined to
    detangle less. But I was having trouble restyling my hair between washdays, that's when I started to finger detangle and I kept it up even on washdays. I just straightened my hair for the first time in four months and it's grown from clavicle to almost bra strap.

    I've tried finger detangling a few times...it didn't work out for me; my hair got super matted after a few weeks..because my fingers can't get out all the shedded hairs. I now detangle in the shower with conditioner; the water helps to stretch out my hair to allow the comb to glide through.

    • @preciousfro

      I've heard that before from other naturals, detangling with the fingers definitely does take much longer to try to get out all of those shed hairs. Have you noticed any negative effects from the comb or do you find that you are still able to retain length?

      Twists and twists out used to give me tangles when I was caring for my hair with just water and later curling custards.
      I'm doing much better with grease. My hair had been clavicle length for over a year. I started greasing it in December and now it's nearly armpit length. I wear my 4c hair shrunken and stretched depending on how I feel. My greased up hair doesn't break as much as it used to. I've used a comb to detangle only twice in that time. From now on I'll only use a comb once every 3 months. That'll make it easier to finger detangle the rest of the time.

    I’m so glad I found this video… when I was using tools a lot of hair was in the brush but the people around me told me that just all the built up shed hair.. I realized the back and front of my hair are longer than the sides.. started putting 2 and 2 together and started finger detangling (but had a setback just yesterday when my mom wanted to help with my hair and used the pink tweezer brush in the thumbnail…OOPS! Lol) I really needed to hear “your hair doesn’t need to be 100% detangled” I thought it had to be and then would get frustrated when the hair would tangle again…but,,, that’s what comes with type 4 hair because it’s tightly coiled. I’m only JUST realizing that thanks to you.
    My hair so far has been the longest it’s ever been since I stopped doing braids. I guess this is truly my next step to attain waist length.

It makes so much sense how you describe a simple thing like a comb can actually ruin your ability to retain length!! Trust me as soon as I take down my braids I’ll give it a go and not use a comb and see how I get on finger detangling my hair. I just need to be more patient with myself as I know my hair is growing, it’s just like you said, I need to change my attitude towards my hair!! Could you kindly upload a wash day video for a few tips please🙏🏾 thank you so much!!

    As much as I want long hair, and my hair is fine 4c hair, I don’t have the patience for this. Instead, to make up for any breakage that might happen during detangling with a brush I wash my hair only 2 times a month while they are in twists and I do the inversion method at the end of every month so I gain an inch every month.

    • @preciousfro
      @preciousfro  2 года назад +1

      @@preciousfro my hair is at 16 inches right now. I started doing this routine 3 months ago when I realized that my hair was plateauing at 12.5-13 inches even though I’ve been wearing wigs and pretty much leaving it alone. I soon realized why tho. My hair is fine 4c hair, doesn’t like to be left dry for long at all and likes to be drenched as shit in thick oil like castor, not thin ones. I cant use sulfate shampoos cause they strip my hair. My hair loves oil first then water.
      So I did the water only washing for 2 months to let my natural sebum coat my hair from roots to tip (this made my hair oh so soft) only then did I start using sulfate free shampoos ONLY for my scalp to keep it clean and clear of sebum for easy hair growth. In the last week of every month I do the inversion method for 4 minutes while massaging my scalp with Enrichure oil and herb blend. It’s a hair product made by a natural hair RUclipsr that has DHT blockers, horsetail, oils and herbs proven to promote hair growth. I measure my hair on the first of every month and record it in my calendar. I used to be someone that didn’t do much at all and wondered why my hair wasn’t long like the 4c girls on RUclips. So now I literally have a hair regiment calendar cause if I don’t I’ll forget to care for my hair.
      I have a monthly regiment laid out and it repeats every month in my calendar for things like, inversion method, cholesterol treatments, when to re-moisturize, and hair prayer where I not only visualize my hair at the length that I want, but i send it love. I just look at my hair as a plant and plants actually respond to positive, love and healing energy. I just really wanted my hair to grow so that I can stop wearing wigs and just wear my natural, but I personally need like 20 to 24 inches of hair cause that shrinkage is no joke. I got 16 inches, yet it literally shrinks to 3 inches when left to air dry, not even playing. SMH. I be like how, why. SMH. That’s why now I’m switching over to 4c/4b kinky textured clip ins so I can get used to wearing my own hair out again while ensuring it grows. Sorry for this long ass comment.

    • @nubiasista9709
      @nubiasista9709 2 года назад

      Today will be day 3 of inversion method for the end of this 4th month. I will also probably skip the 5th month just to ensure my hair doesn’t get too used to the inversion method and stops responding. Maybe.

      Q. If your braider was good then... Did you get a braid style with your own hair or with synthetic hair??
      I truly believe that a lot of braid hair is DIRTY and/or OLD in the package🧐😬
      A long time ago, I got my hair braided for a girl's trip to Jamaica. It was HOT hot🥵 As soon as I started sweating in that heat, my scalp became violently ITCHY😩
      An hour later I broke out in a fine face/neck rash (I had to scratch) so it spread all over my body🤕 Head to Toe rashy! Day1 to Day7 took a minute to figure it out after I got home, but a month later I took the braids out and the rash started to clear up.
      After that episode, I look at the hair & package to see if it looks dirty/old/dusty etc.
      Last, that braid hair may have fibers/chemical in it that is harsh and just doesn't agree with certain BPeople. We may force our immune systems to handle it without knowing we're allergic to it.

    It's nice there's so many methods out there for naturals to try 🤗.
    For me, finger detangling doesn't work at all. It doesn't remove any shed hairs and cause massive tangling (I have 4b/4a hair). I use to use a brush but that was ripping my hair hair out, then I went back to the wide tooth comb, but that wasn't removing the shed hairs. My stylist introduced me to this weird detangling comb...it's like a wide tooth comb, but with an extra set of teeth in between. MUCH more gentle on the hair and detanglings well.

    I have long fine 4b hair. Because of how fine my hair is, unfortunately, I can’t exclusively finger detangle. Within about two months my hair will start to break and I’ll incur more complicated knots. Because of how fine my strands are only a detangling brush will remove all the shed hairs. I incorporate finger detangling where i can but doing it exclusively isn’t an option for me.

    • @preciousfro

The teeth are softer and more flexible and much better at separating my hair strands. I detangle with a brush about once every 4-6 weeks which helps minimize mechanical damage. I still finger detangle, just not exclusively.

My hair looks so smooth and thicker my Great God!!!!!!!.
