BACK to BASICS: DETANGLING

OH BOY have I been through the ringer with this one. I had no idea that I needed to detangle my hair and furthermore once I found out that I did, I didn't have so much as a clue how to do it.

My stylist always used a wide tooth comb, so I followed her lead on that plus using small tooth combs always made me feel like my hair was snagging, even when I was relaxed. Then she introduced the Denman Brush. *HEAVEN*

Alright, so when Detangling, here's a few key things I've found that helps:

* Do it when you hair is wet AND has conditioner in it - We all know dry brushing/combing our hair a NO-NO, so I won't beat you over the head with that, but for a while I was detangling with no conditioner :( It was snapping LEFT AND RIGHT, it MUST be coated!!

* You must be gentle. Our hair has too many curls and kinks and being rough with it can cause our hair to snap at those curly/kinky points.

* Section your hair - it makes it SO much easier and you get a more thorough detangle

and MOST importantly: GO TIP TO ROOT!!
