Sis. You don’t know what a blessing single/ child free life is until you don’t. Love motherhood and couldn’t trade it but I just didn’t know how precious my time was before I had my boy
I no longer detangle in the shower. Using heat has helped with the detangle issue. Keeping the hair stretched has saved me time. I was doing way too much damage in the shower.
I can't stand being in the shower forever on wash day. I started detangling the day before wash day with water in a spray bottle and Aunt Jackie's Knot On My Watch. It goes quickly and I put my hair in 4 twists. The next day I'm in and out of the shower and there's hardly any shed hair to deal with. I love it.
I have about 15 braids, I wash condition and moisturize in those same braids and as you do, I take each braid down to detangle (hair is not as tangled to detangle much), remove shed hairs and re-braid, haven't had single strand knots at all. It's much easier and not time consuming. This has helped me retain length very well. (Low Porosity, 4c [4z] hair, fine strands, medium-high density hair)
another great video!!!.... you're so right the longer the hair gets the more work to detangle 😪...twist hair is the solution to the madness 😂😂. I bet your little one is getting so big ❤❤.
Thank you so much for this video!! I am watching this in the middle of my own wash day, and was literally just thinking about ways I can keep my twists in for longer without dealing with excessive tangling/locs. Can’t wait to give you’re suggested retwust method a try. I feel like it’s seriously going to save me some time 💜 Also, I am a university student and I will be sure to treasure the additional time I have 😂
This is what I have been doing cause detangling my hair the usual way in the shower has been a struggle. Glad we are on the same page cause I start doubting myself😊
Great video. I don't have a difficult time detangling. a good 10 minutes, and I never detangled in the shower. I see so much of that on youtube. I use a wide tooth comb pretty much dose the trick, I only have 3-4 hair strands if that. Thank you ever so kindly for sharing this God-Bless you 🪷
Thanks for the information, this message has come at the right time, I have spent so much time always detangling and it's true being a mom there is no time. Very encouraging, I now know what to do for me and even for my girls.
I usually solely finger-detectangle in the shower. Now that it's longer it's getting difficult to go through my hair with my fingers and detangle. So I usually wait until after I blow dry my hair to thoroughly detangle it with my tangle teezer. Usually, I would have no problem but since my hair has gotten longer I have to go in smaller sections. I have to detangle in smaller sections to get out the tangles in my roots. I recently bought a paddle comb from Kazmaleje. I'm going to try it out during wash day a see how it goes. Also, a culprit to this issue is that I've been prolonging washing a little bit too far. I've been doing mini twists for the past 7 months. After I wash my hair I put it in 4 chunky flat twists and wait 1 week to do mini twists then leave them in for 4 weeks. This is 5 weeks of not washing my hair. My twist would start to lock after 3 weeks in the lower nape. So now I decided to take a break from mini twists for about 6 months. I'm also going to stick to washing my hair every 3 to 4 weeks consistently while wear my hair in medium size flat twists. For the winter I can manage every 4 weeks. Summer time is where I will be wash every 3 weeks since my scalp sweats a lot in the summer time.
i now finger detangle in the shower before i wash it. i get less tangles and no breakage. it's the same technique used if using aloe vera gel, flaxseed gel or any other product but only using one ingredient. water.
This sounds like my current life 😊, with 3 kids, I don’t spend hours washing my hair and detangling it. Thinking of twisting my hair coz it’s faster than my usual braids which took me one week to do last time…thanks for the tips P❤
Totally get it. I love braids and how they protect and preserve my hair. They also retain better moisture and keep the ends better but the time….especially for mini ones🫣
I am 7 months postpartum. Started taking my natural hair serious 3 months ago. But anytime i wash, l lose lot of hairs. It's quite discouraging. Hopefully, I will see results next year.! Thanks for your videos.
Sometimes I get knots in my mini twists. I snip out the little knot but lately I've been feeling maybe there's a better way to manage. What do you do in these instances?
I have been finger detangling for a year now and noticed much less breakage and no scalp pain. And i used a wide tooth comb for the first time last month because i wanted to get some knotless braids installed. I did not miss the feeling of using those tools on my hair. Anyway, it's been three weeks since I've had these braids and i miss having my hair out so much. 😢 but i have to get my money's worth 😂
ahahahh totally get it about your money’s worth. I am also thinking of getting som spring twists in so will have to prep the hair😬. not looking forward to the prep
Hey what about thinning or breakage in front , no medical issues , and am not using weaves or heat, or blow drying, any suggestions for that just keep doing mini twist in front make sure moisture good maybe it come back 🤔 😭?
@@CoilyDiaries Since I don't know your particular hair needs you may want to do some research for yourself on detangling sprays for your hair type. Maybe check on some natural hair YT channels and see what Is available for your type of hair. Hope this helps 🙂
@@CoilyDiaries That's cool. As the saying goes "Go for what you know" 🙂 I personally don't like giving out specific products because as I have experienced not all products work for everyone and trial and error can get expensive 😬.
I didn't detangle my hair with a comb for the first and the shed hairs were minimal and im afraid that I didn't fully remove shed hairs and they will accumulate
@@CoilyDiaries Oh, I think my comment got cut off some how. That's not all I was trying to say. I wanted ask you also what would be an alternative to mini-twists if your hair is on the shorter side?
I would say you were using the wrong brush. My daughter and I have lord tightly coiled kinky hair. I finger detangle first. We keep hair moisturized with Mielle Pomegranate leave in. We shampoo with Herbal Shea fruit in flowers shampoo by Indigenous Strandz. It is the ONLY shampoo that hasn’t caused matting tangling and knots. My favorite deep conditioning Mask is Camille Rose Algae Renew. Anywho after finger detangling in sections, I use a smaller Wet brush. If I use a comb then 1st it’s the Wet Wide tooth shower comb then a medium tooth comb then tangle teaser type detangle brush. Gentle and slow in sections. I never force. I blow dry with Consir Knot Doctor blow dryer paddle brush. Easy leash. The key is gradual progression from large teeth to small. De man type brush is a NO. Also keeping hair stretched and conditioned is paramount use a Wet Paddle brush, the
Great tip here! Am glad you have nailed your routine. Will try it one I do my thorough detangle twice a year. As stated in the video there are so many reasons for choosing finger detangling at this stage in my routine 🌺
I felt it deep down when you said if you are not a mum treasure it...that's so really true and time is everything

sooooo much damage yeah? and if you consider that wet hair is weaker than dry or dump. scary stuff.

It goes quickly and I put my hair in 4 twists. The next day I'm in and out of the shower and there's hardly any shed hair to deal with. I love it.
great strategy girl! I love it!
I'm going to try detangle the day before.❤ Great idea!😊

Thanks for the tips! braids are the best for many reasons. love the simplicity of your routine
Thanks, it took years for me to learn my hair to listen to what she needed and find what works and doesn't work for my hair.
I like your content ..it's so real..no lying, no pretence just real...thanx..
I appreciate that. thanks for supporting

Ahhahah yeah… could detangle gently on the regular with the length the hair is at. Baby is growing well thanks for asking 🌺
Hello, watched a video of yoi 3 years ago. And here i am wowed with how long your hair has grown! Great work.

never doubt what works for you. no two routines look the same so do what works for you
This video was amazing
It make so much sense 🙏🏾

I had postpartum shedding as well. it settles within 12 months but much sooner for most women. hang in there and keep up with your healthy routine
So true, in the shower detangling is not my favorite.
same here
Sometimes I get knots in my mini twists. I snip out the little knot but lately I've been feeling maybe there's a better way to manage. What do you do in these instances?
Knots in your mini twists? Single strand knot? Or tangles? Where on the hair shaft are these
@@CoilyDiaries at the ends of the hair shaft. They look more like knots.
@@user-sx6dt4eb4c I usually cut those out too.
Stretching
Moisture
Lubrication
Gel
All help to combat them

Nice try but no cigar. My hair needs heat to stretch and daily maintenence. Nice video😊
By all means sis!
Great video very helpful 😃
I use the Brazillian 5 sec detangler for natural hair and it's a Godsend
nice! 👍🏽
So do you ever do protein treatment? If yes, do you do it in twists?
Yes and yes!
Oh wow! Nice! Thanks!
I have been doing everything on my hair in twists for a while now but my hair really needs some kind of protein treatment.
I’m thinking of giving my denman a break! I feel like I’m pulling out more than shed hairs. My hair doesn’t even get that tangled.
do it sis. Denman took my hair out. not a detangling brush even🤗

you didn’t detangle for the first? 🤔
@@CoilyDiaries I finger detangled, I didn’t use a comb
@@leefortunate5764 I guess if you keep your hair stretched, the shed hairs won’t cause too much of a problem
My hair is too short to do mini twists and maintain some kind of stretch.
