Best Techniques for Detangling Curly Hair

[@cbchang6200]

I have never used detangling tools. I only detangle my hair once a week with a wide tooth comb and fingers detangle as needed. Recently I have started detangling my hair with a wide tooth comb before I wash my hair and it has been a game changer. 👍🏽🤗

[@KlassicallyKept]

Yes! Detangling, whether with a tool or without before washing my hair has made the rest of the wash day easier !

When I discovered your channel earlier this year you turned me on to Alma power. That took me down the whole Ayurvedic herbs rabbit hole. I now use very few store bought products. I love making my own DIY Homemade Organic Ayurvedic haircare products. 👍🏽🤗

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello and I am so glad. I love Ayurvedic as well, that is why I was so happy when Shea Moisture came out with a line featuring Amla.

[@cbchang6200]

@@KlassicallyKept I just looked up the Shea Moisture shampoo. I just ordered it!👍😊

​@@KlassicallyKeptI used this Shea Moisture leave in last night after blow drying. My hair feels so strong! My twists are holding better too!! Thanks!

[@lnyawilliamsmoore]

Praying hands is most definitely beneficial for smoothing the hair and the pad of the thumb👍🏽 helps with detangling. Thanks for sharing,KK. 🙏🏽💐💜😀🎉 (Psalms 65:2;83:18;Matt 6:9,10)

Of course ! Also just letting the water running through your hair in the shower!

[@lnyawilliamsmoore]

@@KlassicallyKept Agreed 💯

[@Simply_Mimi1017]

Very similar with the way I detangle as well. I can definitely vouch for detangling your hair with utmost patience and when you are not in a rush otherwise you’re putting your hair at risk of breaking

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello! I takes longer, but so worth it.

[@Simply_Mimi1017]

@@KlassicallyKept it most definitely is! It helps to watch a series or listen to music while doing so, it passes the time much better

[@cbchang6200]

Thank you for this video. I do finger detangling my hair whenever I style it or put it up at night. Because I work from home I don't have to style my hair everyday. Yes, 100%, never detangle dry hair. 👍🏽🤗

WFM allows me to leave my hair alone as well on most days!

Hello Mya, you do a wonderful job with your beautiful hair, thanks for sharing.💜🌸

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you

[@NewlyNappy]

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing. If you apply your moisturizer after stretching with the RevAir doesn’t the moisturizer make your hair revert again? I guess I’m asking how much more stretch do you get doing that method versus not using the RevAir at all? Thanks for your insight.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Good morning! So for me my hair doesn’t have to be bone straight or stretched 100% , it’s more or so to make sure my hair is dry. I like big fluffy hair lol. It does revert a little but not too much.

[@mjgarner123]

Beautifully done, Mya! I have been waiting for this and appreciate you sharing your technique. Finger detangling is a learning process and takes time and patience. I used to spread my fingers like a comb until I realized that would not get it. Looking at other videos definitely helped in finding a technique that accomplished the goal of detangled hair. ITA...Stretched hair detangles a lot better than hair curling upon itself. Thanks for sharing your technique with the Revair also. That will be very useful. BTW...Your hair is very full, thick and beautiful! Again, TFS!!! ♥

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hey MJ! Of course! Finger detangling can take longer than using detangling tools but I feel it is so worth it. Now I will say this lol about using my fingers like a comb. That only works in the nape area. I tried that in my mid section and my hair said " no ma'am!". My nape area has looser curls and it is thinner. Stretched hair definitely helps with tangles, the hair doesn't curl upon itself so much.

[@May-tai]

Gaw-gous hair. And youre pretty too.❤ Can put a light or use a phone flashlight to see details of your hair. Only when you move closer to vid the clarity is there.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you !

[@myrevair]

Beautiful! Love your videos & great tip using your RevAir on the cool setting ❤❤

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you! I love the Rev-air !

[@ashleygaston4883]

You put me on to using the revair on cool after washing/deep conditioning and I found my hair loves that, I also started using the Shea Moisture Amla Masque and my hair loves it, thanks for sharing your insights!

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello Ashely! Yes! I am so glad what I recommended for yall is working! When I first bought the Rev-air we were not friends lol. Then I said you know what I want to keep my hair stretched but I do not want to apply heat to my hair all the time. So I tried the cool setting without any product and I loved it! I am also glad you like the Shea Moisture Amla collection.

[@aiahsdaughter6597]

Your hair came out beautiful....thanks so much for those amazing tips!

[@KlassicallyKept]

Of course and thank you !

[@juanitarobertson306]

Absolutely love your videos. You are so good with just the basics techniques of just taking care of your natural hair and keeping it healthy. I have been natural for 5 years and want the best for my hair. How many twist do you have in back half and front half? My hair is bra strap length. You need to start a on line class just for basic technique for natural hair!😊

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello ! I would love to do a class, get out into the community ! In the back 10. In the front 6.

[@dunemae]

Gorgeous hair! How often do you use the revlon air?

[@KlassicallyKept]

Thank you. The Rev-air? Only when I use the chebe grease to stretch my hair. The next time I will use it will be in min November when I travel.

[@stormyskyz7881]

Finally! Someone who shampoo the hair… run the shampoo down the length of hair then rinse. I have no tangles doing this

[@etunatutala]

Thank you for the whole process. My denman brush gave out, so now I'm finger detangling until September when I'll straighten my hair. How long does it take you to finger detangle? How long is the whole process/wash day?

[@KlassicallyKept]

My wash day is about 5 hours long. I cannot give a specific time for just the finger detangling. I throw on one of my favorite show and go for it !

[@indy_J]

I need to get back to finger detangling. I just realized the other day that I have breakage throughout my hair. I thought it was frizz but, it's breakage. It appears to be frizz because its shorter than the rest of the sections. Also, I realize my hair isn't really as fine as I thought it's just the breakage throughout. Ugh, hopefully the parts that have breakage will catch up when I do better.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hello Indy! Try it again! Be gentle and throw on some music or your favorite show!

[@KAG1130]

Thank you for showing the process. Great video; great explanation. With this particular wash day, you just used the Chebe grease from Odara naturals for your twists? Not the powder?

[@KlassicallyKept]

Yes ! This week I knew that I had content to submit and that I would be traveling. So I used my Shea Moisture Amla leave in and then the Chebe greased

[@KAG1130]

@@KlassicallyKept thank you!! ❤️

[@BionAvastar3000]

This is very similar to what I do if dry detangling my hair, the difference being that I will then go ahead and run through with a paddle brush to remove the remaining shed hairs before washing/restyling.

[@KlassicallyKept]

Hey Bion! Paddle brush worked wonders when my hair was straight. I am hearing a lot of naturals are using paddle brushes when they are curly!

[@BionAvastar3000]

@@KlassicallyKept I only use paddle brushes without the balls on the end unless my hair is blown out to minimise tangles. :)

[@dominique2o06]

Great video🤎 I know with my coils I will go back and forth with detangling by hand and brush but things went okay my last wash day. My last comment I think I mention getting a brush blow dryer. So I used it before installing my passion twist and I noticed how my hair behaved with it on different settings of heat. Cooler it seems to brush through and keep a lot of my curls. It made me curious what a head full of blow dryed curls would look like. But I put it on high so it would blow dry it straight and it worked well my hair looked really healthy but I doubt I'll want blown straight hair all the time. I want to find a routine that fits me. My passion twist came out pretty though your girl can't part so the back probably looks insane 😂 I've decided not to care it's vacation time 🧳✌🏾💕

Hello Dominique! LMBO I don't know if you have seen the viral videos about the back of my hair is none of my business...as long as the front it cute. I cannot part as well! This is too funny and relatable! For the dryer on the cool setting, I have noticed that even though my hair is stretched there is still a slight wave to it , which I don't mind, I do not like bone straight hair nor is that my goal. I love big hair ! Happy vacation !

[@alaysiab]

I should really switch back to finger detangling. I am noticing a lot of incomplete splits and I think it’s because of my comb and tangle teezer

[@KlassicallyKept]

Consider it! It was a struggle not to reach for my thick and curly tangle teaser in the beginning but then I completely forgot about it !

[@uniqueflowers994]

Do you trim your on hair and have video?

[@KlassicallyKept]

I do trim my own ends video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2eqZZl5mbRjiM0 I am currently going to my high school stylist for trims only. I started 3 months ago.

Just to clarify, you are not using a heat protectant before using the RevAir?

[@KlassicallyKept]

Yes! There is no product in my hair prior to using the Rev-air.

I started finger detangling 4 months ago. I have thin, low density arm pit length hair. I also have a large alopecia spot in my crown. No matter how gentle I am, I lose just as mych hair as I do with a wide tooth comb. I'm not sure what to do and feel like giving up. My patch is improving but my hair is not thick like it used to be. 😢

[@Simply_Mimi1017]

@@gwyneveresunlightblade5962 there’s a TON of Ayurvedic ingredients out there that may help you. I make my own oil and also use the DHT blocker from Nowimnappy. Also look from within, a lot of our practices and/or our hormonal/blood levels can cause detriment to our strands. Herbal teas can also help. I don’t like the feeling of how teas (green/black) rinses leave my hair. I like to drink it instead. Also Amla and most recently Chebe (thank you May) has helped tremendously with my fine low density strands.

[@LivingInTheShade]

Get a blood test done to check your blood if you are lacking any vitamins, the culprits for me were vitamin d and iron. Next, visit a trichologist. Also cut down on sugar.
