| TWA days...breeze days!!! |
NNNOW!!! My hair has grown and boy I cannot run away from detangling. I really tried to avoid it by taking short cuts and protective styling for long. I killed myself. My hair suffered. single strand knots/fairy knots found a HOME on my head and still today I will never forgive myself for being so negligent. I was so hurt because I had just trimmed my hair and now I had to snip off some more hair because of my laziness.

| this is my hair after a trim. |
 |
| see that?????? |
 |
| my hair was not cuddling and beautifully coily as I'm used to it.... |
 |
| this is my hair with little fairy knots. there are lots in there trust me. |
Anyway, I have to forgive myself and start doing better by my hair and for my hair and yes for me too. :).
I've heard and seen a lot of people (you-tubers) use coconut oil and a conditioner for detangling but I cannot use coconut oil because coco' and I just don't get along. I felt helpless and really didn't know what to use. But I didn't give up I was willing to sit the whole weekend and detangle my hair strand by strand if that's what my hair wanted me to do. I was ready. I had planned to use the olive oil and a conditioner instead of coconut oil.
On friday night I did a pre-poo/ hot oil treatment and left it in my hair over night (GREEN HOUSE EFFECT METHOD).
coincidentally, Saturday morning I just started touchy touching my hair and I couldn't believe what was happening, the tangles and knots were melting, like literally melting apart. I had not added anything in my hair, there was only oils and a little mist from the GHEM...*JumpingWithJoyAndAmazement* I really got motivated to sit and do my hair. I finger detangled my whole head without the usual struggle and I was very happy. I used my fingers only because I dint want to push it with a comb since the hair was dry. I don't do the comb business on dry hair, I refuse. After the finger detangling process I proceeded with my normal wash day routine and ...................BAHMMM!! my coils are united and smooth again.
I have been a lazy natural and I'm planning to change that. I'm still looking for easier ways to care for my hair. If anyone can recommend any techniques or tips on how to cut down on the long hours of detangling natural, please, I could use all the help in the world. I hope my newly found method will help someone out there.
