In September, I set a record. It took a whopping three days to detangle my hair. A styling assistant washed my hair in a circular motion, which caused numerous tangles. Then, he proceeded to brush my hair from the root and in a rough manner. (And continued to do so after I expressed concern.) To top it off, the stylist put my dry, matted hair into flat twists. It took three days to remove deadlocks and shed hairs wrapped around my strands. Some of it was detangled. Some of it was cut.  For the last few months, I  have continued to cut shredded ends.

    Most stylist don’t know a THING about natural hair or they know very little and charge soooooooooooooo much to do natural hair. I wondered WHY they charged me sooooooooooooo much, I wasn’t getting a relaxer! Be VERY DIRECT in a nice way and ASK THEM to style it EXACTLY the way YOU want not the way they think it should be and bring your own shampoos and conditioners! I’ve been doing it myself lately viewing youtube and other natural true blogs for tips and styles. Happy detangling! <3
