STOP DETANGLING YOUR HAIR LIKE THAT! ❌ TRY THIS INSTEAD ✅ | Natural Hair | AbbieCurls

[@simoneperkins]

WOW! This has blown my mind. I’ve been detangling like this FOREVER and always wondered why my crown is so broke and brittle. I’m defo going to try this method and see what happens! Thank you for another great and succinct video….always 🙏🏾🙌🏾😍

[@AbbieCurls]

It’s crazy isn’t it! I thought I was doing good for my hair by putting it in small sections before brushing it!… the improvements since changing are so clear! So I’d defo recommend trying this new way. The first few times I did it felt a bit awkward. But stick at it. Xx

[@Lilli626]

100 percent this method works! I stopped using 4 sections to shampoo, detangle or style my hair to give my crown a break and it has worked wonders!

[@AbbieCurls]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@Ashley_Louise]

Where have you been all my life??😊😊 I've also always detangled my hair in sections because of the thickness and my crown is shorter than the rest of my hair. I will never go back! Thank you for this hair changing tip!!😍😍

[@jumbleofjargon]

I've noticed breakage at the crown as well! I'm excited to try your way out during washday this weekend :))

[@AbbieCurls]

Hope it goes well! Stick at it. The first couple times it felt a bit awkward but now I’ve got used to it x

[@glassje2]

Just washed Thursday, wish I had seen this beforehand!

[@iamkshanel4295]

I agree with this…. I detangle the same way now!

[@jonathanemmanuel1584]

YES ABBIE LET EM KNOW! I went through the same issues that stemmed from similar problems. It can be kinda annoying because it creates this frizz halo in my crown section but I’ve taken the time to re-adjust some things in my routine to help it grow (and it’s been working :))

[@AbbieCurls]

I have a frizz halo too 😩😂 I always just put it down to having a different texture in that section, but now I think it was damage…

[@jonathanemmanuel1584]

@@AbbieCurls omg no lol girl it’s a new year, which means more room for growth! 😝 #optimism 🤞🏾💙

[@audreyrs2990]

Omg thank you!!! You just solved the mystery of the breaking of my hair in the crown area AND the sore spot!!! Never detangling my hair in 4s ever again!!!

[@Neosoul_prima]

I stopped using brushes while washing/conditioning, and moved it to styling! I also would never use a denman brush ever again, because the D3,7, & 9 are not made for wet hair application. They’re smoothing brushes for blow drying! So now I just thoroughly finger detangle, then use my Felicia leatherwood brush while styling! Best decision ever

[@HoneyChil]

Going to start detangling this way also. The crown is where my breakage is also. Thank you for sharing.

[@taylordailey702]

I have always wondered why my crown area was so short and problematic. This has been so eye opening, and I’ll definitely be doing this from now on, thank you!!

[@MISSPHOTOGENICBABY]

I’m trying this TODAY! You are a genius!

[@tarynmichelleart]

I have noticed a tender spot on my crown as well and i detangle in those four sections. I’m not sure if this method would work for my though since I have really thick type 4 hair and it doesn’t lay down for me to run the brush through like that. But I will definitely try brushing the crown in a single direction rather than splayed!

[@AggieNonsizi]

I’m definitely going to be doing this way from now on

[@jus-sayin]

Very interesting. I detangle in four sections and my hair is already fine and I too suffer shorter hair in the middle and my crown area also gets very tender. I am going to try this it make so much sense. This maybe why my hair won't grow besides in layers. This is going to be a game changer. I'm so excited I am going to take pictures of my progress. So excited! Your hair is gorgeous by the way. Your hair is so strong my hair is always shedding or coming out. No matter if I detangle it it sheds from just touching it at times. I do have eczema on my scalp and I blame that for my hair condition too. I have not seeked medical attention for that. I know my hair won't be like yours but if I can get my hair the same length all over it would look fuller than now. Again thanks for this information. New here just subscribed!

[@ayannanzinga]

Makes SO much sense. Such a simple solution I never thought of. My crown ALWAYS suffers. I'm definitely going to try this from now on!

[@EpicRealistTV]

Great video! For some reason, it's like we all have crown breakage at some point. Mine was from years of parting my hair in those same 4 sections repeatedly, not for washing, but for styling. I had to change the way that I styled my hair so that the crown could start growing back slowly, and it has! I do less styles where I have to part in 4 sections, and even 2 sections can be damaging. I use less tension in that area.

[@AbbieCurls]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@TheUnicornQueenT]

I swear I was just noticing that my hair is broken off in the same areas from parting and sectioning off in the same 4 sections. Thank you! I'm going to give this new technique a try.

[@hellow4130]

Great video. Another reason you might be experiencing breakage is due to the use of a styling brush to detangle instead of a detangling brush. Denman actually sells a great detangling brush, but it’s not the one you are using. Hope that helps.

[@Asia-gl2rq]

Thank you for this. I have been struggling with unnecessary breakage for years now and I know it's how I detangle my hair. I have been doing it in four sections like you mentioned at the beginning of the video and also my crown area is always sore too. I am going to try this new way and see how it goes. :)

[@curlynella1011]

I haven’t noticed breakage in my crown area but I’m also using the Denman D38 paddle brush which is for detangling. This brush is more for styling so that could be the reason you have breakage but at least you figured out a solution 💯

[@AbbieCurls]

I love the paddle brush but I only tend to use that when my hair is blowdried. It works great on stretched hair but I haven’t found it very good for detangling my hair. I used to use those super gentle detangling brushes which are amazing! But I always tend to gravitate back to this denman brush. It’s what I’ve found most gentle and effective at getting my knots out xx

[@charlottewilliams3198]

Wow! I have all of these issues so I’m Deffo going to try this way from now on! Thanks! 😊

[@tikagyrl984]

Thank you. Never thought to do this but I will going forward

[@prettyroqayya]

I have the same problem I always wondered why my crown area so short I have to change it ASAP thanks for the vid this is super helpful!

[@Josephiene]

I’ve been parting my hair down the middle in 6 parts for some time and I was noticing more and more breakage in the middle and at my crown area. I’ll go back to this way of detangling from now on. Thank you for sharing 🙌🏽

[@farahzelaya3288]

Hi, I have the same issue with my crown area. It's very short compared to the rest of my hair. Can you show your entire process for doing your hair? I mean the techniques you use while shampooing, conditioning, and then styling all in one video? My hair is thick and at each stage I feel like I'm just breaking hair off maybe because of using bad techniques throughout this process. All the best!

[@AbbieCurls]

Hey! I’ll probably break it down into separate videos otherwise it would be an hour long video 😂 but I can defo share my techniques for each step of my wash and styling day 😊 thanks for the suggestion x

[@AggieNonsizi]

Started from the bottom now we here! 😎

[@iamkshanel4295]

I totally agree!!!!

[@lidiabiratu7735]

I pretty much have the same exact hair texture as you and have the same issue (to the T) with my crown! I'm excited to change the way I detangle and hopefully improve my hair! Thank you Abbie

[@yabiberekket5847]

I have the same issue with the crown of my head as well, I’m definitely gonna try this out!

[@aprilcaddell6335]

Thanks for this tutorial! I'm going to switch up my detangling method and also avoid parting in the same spots.

[@Clauds71]

This is so helpful, I was struggling with similar issues too. I’ll give this a go, thanks Abbie. 😀

[@Tahirah_monifa]

Okay I’m locked in and interested in this because I’m suffering from breakage at the back of my head but close to the parts and I feel like it’s because I’m pulling those hair sections across to detangle. I can imagine that if my hair was out and straightened it would look like an upside down V if that makes sense. I’m apprehensive about trying this because my hair is thick too!! So hearing you say it works for you makes me a little more eager to try. I’ll let you know how I get on!

[@sms1511]

This is really helpful, I always section my hair and detangle it that way. I didnt know that was damaging my hair. I will try this with a deep conditioner in my hair as I always detangled after I rinse a deep moisturiser.

[@lidyamohammed8651]

You videos are helping me a lot thanks abie❤

[@winwynn]

This was extremely helpful. Thanks so much ☺️

[@mai_satin_scarf]

Will definitely be trying this new way of detangling. I’ve been detangling in 4 sections for years and suffer from breakage on the crown area as well as in the middle part area

[@kay093100]

I’m definitely going to try this because I normally do the parting in 4 and noticed it tugs the other sections. Very helpful thank you.

[@Sunshine_Hime]

Right on time, I have to wash my hair today. Thank you for the tips. 😊

[@natrlchallenge]

I'm going to try this out. I am transitioning and hope to do better with my natural hair this year

[@wayNAY87]

Interesting and I will try this!

[@x7557x]

I have 3c/4a hair and my hair doesn't tangle easily. But i usually don't detangle my hair in the shower. I detangle my hair after i finish washing and conditioning my hair.

[@AbbieCurls]

Wow I wish I could say the same about my hair! Lol I get a lot of tangles, especially if I have a wash and go!

[@kimmiet1980]

My hair is similar to yours and, yep, I section my hair in quarters and I do have breakage in the center where I part. Thank you for the tip.

[@chloejeffries4700]

Thank you so much for this new way of detangling! I still detangle your old way and I’m so excited to try this new way of detangling my curls cuz I also have the same problem of my hair braking so I’m definitely looking forward to try this!

[@iamkshanel4295]

I had to shop detangling the same way…. It helps to keep all the going in the same direction so you don’t tag the other areas with the brush.

[@AbbieCurls]

Exactly!🙌🏽

[@sammygirl8250]

I am most definitely going to do this on my next wash day.

[@twill1007]

Yup about a year ago I was watching videos to see how I could improve my crown. A KZbinr suggested treating the crown as a section of its own (which would make 5 instead of 4) it really made a big difference 😁

[@andreaxcee]

Me, after detangling like the old method less than an hour ago: 😰 We have a similar hair type and I have breakage in my crown, too. I’m going to try this new method - thanks!

[@AbbieCurls]

😂😂 girl don’t worry. Now you know for next time x

[@anac2411]

Thank you

[@michelledani3301]

I have definitely noticed breakage at the top of my hair from combing my hair in 4 sections & I would wonder why as well. I'm definitely going to try combing my hair with your new method & I'll have to share the results if I notice any better changes! Thanks for sharing this video with us!! Very informative 💕😊🙏

[@psr076]

I think your onto something. My crown area is shorter and I have always done it in four sections. I will try it.

What do you do if brushing your hair only makes it frizzy ??

lol it was smart cutting your hair shorter to match the rest of your hair I should have thought of that, I took the easy way out and just cut my hair short to start all over again

[@SimplyCharlette]

Woo interesting I’m gonna give it a go xx

[@dynamict4722]

I think my middle part has suffered the most from doing the 4 section detangling. But it’s growing back slowly lol

[@gisellezapata3137]

I want to give you another advice, This brush Isn't the best to detangle as the bristles are harder and it pull and stretch the hair harder causing more damages in time that can translate in breakages, the best brush to use for detangling should be one that are specifically made for detangle as it has more flexible bristles that won't pull or stretch too much the hair, it will be more gentle causing significantly less breakage if it says "detangling brush" and you touch the bristles and see that they aren't as hard as the typical of demand brush but are way more flexible then this brush is better for detangling, i use the wet brush which is great and really gentle, brushes with harder bristles like denman brush are better to style and define the hair when the hair should be already detangled. If you want, buy a detangling brush WITH FLEXIBLE BRISTLES (like the wet brushes) and try it in comparison with the brush you're actually using and you will see the difference

[@AbbieCurls]

Hey Giselle!💖 Thanks for the tip. I’ve tried the gentle detangling brushes before. And I agree, they’re amazing. But I do find that because my hair is so thick, that they’re a bit too flexible to actually get through my hair. I’ve always loved the denman brush for detangling. I seem to always end up going back to it even when I try other great brushes. It’s the one I find the most effective and gentle at the same time x

[@kathleenadeshoga8415]

@@AbbieCurls the Felicia Leatherwood brush is pretty stiff as far as detangling tools go. The ez detangler on the other hand is wayyyy more flexible

[@laurynsharon]

You actually made me realize the hair of my crown is only half the length of the rest of my hair👁o👁 My question is: since I wash my hair bending over to the front, can I just detangle my hair from the front to the back?

[@AbbieCurls]

yes, if I washed my hair like that I would brush from the front to back x

[@laurynsharon]

@@AbbieCurls thx honey♥️

[@Candicedickinsonllc]

[@alwiyaabubakar7436]

It's okay to brush wet hair? Or what was that you put to make like that

[@AbbieCurls]

Yeah I only ever brush my hair when it’s wet and covered in conditioner x

[@michelleeja412]

Sometimes I ask myself..is it just me?? The reason I say this is because I NEVER brought into this method of detangling with brush or comb. I just can't do it. My fingers are my best and trusted tools when it comes to detangling my hair. I can actually feel and isolate the tangles with my fingers so why would I want to use a mechanical tool? No one will ever convince me that brushes do not break the hair. Now I'm not saying brushes do not detangle the hair because they do. But they also cause breakage. And that's a fact. But some people want or are willing to cut down time detangling with risk of breakage.I don't. I have the satisfaction of detangling with my fingers.

[@AbbieCurls]

That’s great I think you should continue to do what works for you

[@michelleeja412]

@@AbbieCurls I appreciate your response. KZbin is a tricky place. Perception will never be truth. It's important to have different inputs on this platform. Alot of new naturals looking for information will know both sides before ripping their beautiful hair out. Prevention is everything 😍 🙌 ❤

[@keepingitnatural7601]

The thing is, a denman brush is not a detangling tool, it’s a styling tool. It should be used after detangling. That’s probably why you have the breakage.

[@yvonnestarr8933]

Absolutely.! When using the Denman brush for detangling, it should be held vertically and horisontally for styling. Otherwise you loose too much hair.

[@kathleenadeshoga8415]

Breakage at the crown can also be caused by wearing a lot of buns and ponytails

[@AbbieCurls]

It definitely can! You’re right

[@itsjustaudie]

Why THE HECK is that my problem area too and I detangle like this..... wait a second

[@chrisw9122]

Always I think if I brush it that way...my arms will get tired and it will be awkward to do that...but my crown is shorter than all my hair...now I know why lawdy. No more four section brushing.
