Question For Curly Headed Girls?

Question

I have curly/wavy hair that tangles up.

I usually co-wash my hair every 3 days to help with the tangles but that is not working.

So I am thinking about cowashing (wash stih conditioner) my hair every night or every 2 days. I put the conditioner in and comb through my hair using a wide tooth comb. My hair is growing really good but I lose a bit due to tangles.

I just hate to lose hair due to tangles.

Any suggestions, to help me stop gettting tangles?

I am not white I am black with curly wavy hair

Answer 1

I totally understand what you mean!  I am white but have super curly & dry hair.  I use a lot of products that are marketed for ethnic hair.  I have gotten some great tips from a web site I finally stumbled on this year.  They sell stuff but I mainly like to go to the forums and get suggestions.  Sally Beauty Supply has some great generic products that work just like the expensive brands.  

Shea Butter is a miracle cure!  Find any THICK conditioner (texture of a body butter) and put that in your hair by hand.  Then after it has been in for about 5 minutes, try your detangling comb.  I also put a deep conditioner treatment on my hair once a week.  I put a plastic shower cap on and wear it on my head during my shower.  The steam from your shower also helps the conditioner get into your hair follicle and work its magic.  

Check out the site and good luck to you!

Always wash your hair with conditioner..everyday..even if you don't shampoo everyday....Leave a little bit of conditioner in your hair...Don't wash all of it out, and take sections of hair, and comb(Don't brush.) from the bottom up(It's better then starting from the root and pulling the tangles out.).

No way you can really stop tangles..But that's the easier way to get them out.

Answer 3

My hair always has tangles,no matter what.I think that's just what naturally curly hair does.

Instead of combing,you might want to try brushing your hair with an "ouchless" brush from walmart..Do it in the shower when you still have conditioner in.And if you're going to be washing your hair often,then only shampoo every other day or every few days..Conditioner helps curly hair,and shampoo usually dries it out.

i'm white with curly/wavy hair and my hair tangles soooo bad! Really there is nothing you can do excepy buy lots of detangle products, the hairdresser told me that my type of hair will always get tangles easily.

Answer 5

I got crazy ringlet curly hair and it tangles all over but i now use leave in conditioner everyday and it doesn't knot as badly as it used to.

But I'm white so I don't know if it will do they same for you.
