Washing and detangling natural hair can be a headache!!! If you suffer from shrinkage like me, your curls probably clump together when they get wet. Combing through your hair without proper sectioning is just not an option anymore. Shrinkage and curl clumping make it really hard to properly detangle your hair. Well, I recently viewed a post by MeechyMonroe (twitter, ig, fb, YouTube) where she washed and detangled her hair with ease. My washing and detangling method is inspired by that but I did not braid the detangled sections, I twisted them. Much easier! This method takes a little time, but I assure you, your hair will be well conditioned, softer, more manageable and ready for whatever styles you have in mind for the week. I hope this video makes your next wash day less of a headache! How do you wash and detangle your natural hair?

Want to define the curls in your fro? Try shingling, which is essentially working the product through your hair from root to tip. You can use a comb or your fingers, either way your curl pattern will pop!!! In the video below, I used a curl pudding, but don't be afraid to try other holding creams or moisturizers for your shingling techniques and let me know how they come out! **These initial videos are sometimes not as audible as I would like. These are my first attempts at video editing, they will get better I promise! lol* A major concern for naturalistas is moisture retention. We have to make sure those locks are moisturized. Although, most naturals are sure to use sulfate free shampoos, frequent shampooing can be drying to the hair. Thus washing hair with conditioner or co-washing is the cleansing method of choice for many naturalistas. Personally, I probably co-wash twice a month. The other 2 weeks of the month I wash my hair with a sulfate-free shampoo. The video belows show my cowashing method. **These initial videos are sometimes not as audible as I would like.
