Tangles At The Roots - How To Deal With & Get Rid of That Foolishness | Tip Tuesday

[@lakeisha1728]

Facts!! I always detangle root to middle, then ends to middle! I lose a lot less and detangling is a breeze

[@shalomk2.5]

I do the same most of the time!

[@LaLa31089]

Me too I'm not alone

[@cafeaulaitcreole7905]

Me too. Doing the ends first never worked for me.

[@vispandex]

Tangled roots are my struggle! I do find that my roots don’t hold moisture like my strands

[@Weberlyn]

Oh sis!!! I needed this video! As my hair has gotten longer my hair has been getting so tangled at the roots. It’s been giving me flash backs to my transitioning days 😫😩😩

[@redrose14152]

Girllllll I had to step away from the scissors 😢😂😂😂😂 or else!😅

[@inclusivebiblejournalingby8713]

I prepoo the night before with lots of oil on dry hair. Then I put on a plastic cap, a bonnet and go to sleep. I detangle the next day and the knots slide right out. Shampoo twice, condition and style. Perfect!

[@youtuberplaysvrchat6947]

Do you finger detangle or use a tool? Also do you wet it as well or is the oil by itself enough?

[@blackqueen5201]

@@youtuberplaysvrchat6947 coconut oil is amazing with ginger detangling agree it's been left over night or even a few hours

[@Godisloven09]

Amen! I made that mistake when taking down my braids. I took the braids down late at night so I was tired and I went to sleep. Next day I did a small amount of tangling and then took my happy a.. in the shower to shampoo. It was a freakin nightmare. It took me forever and I lost soooo much hair. I’ll never make that mistake again. Pre poo and take your time. It makes a world of difference.

When I found your channel, I learned how to take care of my natural hair. Thank you so much.😍

[@MissMyoozikal]

You just helped me tremendously, whenever you are in the world, may you receive blessings and goodness!!!

[@youtuberplaysvrchat6947]

I needed this video today I've been struggling with my hair going natural tangling like crazy at the roots and I could figure out what I've been doing wrong. Thank you for making this video 🥲

[@ALove4Me]

Glad I could help!

[@carmeld45]

Congrats on 15k. Well deserved. Your hair looks really pretty today.

[@TBELLA26_]

Prepooing is such a lifesaver! I know it's helped me so much. Congrats on 15k!!☺

[@hg3895]

Yup this is why I started blow drying. Nothing else worked!

[@coilsoflove2012]

Yesss I spoke about this a lot in my videos. Pre-poo is such a necessary step for my hair because my hair is prone to being the most tangled at the roots. I agree with your tips!

[@sheri8048]

The dog on the slide was sooo cute! Thanks for the great tips too!!!

[@naturallykool]

Your lives are so much fun. Congrats in 15k, so well deserved. I'm so happy you are sharing your gifts. Thanks for all you do for us💕💜💕💜 Prepoo is my go to. It's a game changer😊

[@lisafunchessrealtor]

I keep my hair stretched to keep the roots from tangling so much. Wash in sections

[@JadeVVe]

This video was for me 😅! I've been noticing tangles at the root for a couple of months and I was like my hair must be growing so fast 🤣😭! I'm gonna do the water + aloe in a spray bottle then apply some oil and see. I switched to conditioner first then shampoo and then DC and I really like it. I don't know why all the conditioners that were mehh are now amazing since I've started using them as the first step.

[@lovinglifeseverymoment7360]

I’m the reverse, I switched to DC first, then shampoo then conditioning. I also include oil rinsing with my conditioner. My hair loves it. It’s so much softer and I retain moisture for longer period of time.

[@JadeVVe]

@@lovinglifeseverymoment7360 I feel so bad putting DC on dirty hair but I'll try it for fun at least once just to see ☺️

[@heyyashleyyy2669]

[@victorialadybug1]

Thank you so much for addressing this! I've had so many problems with this and thought I was the only one!

[@wendyedwards4806]

Yes! I came on here looking specifically for this, and I feel so much better. I have to bring those tangles down from the root. But I'm like tip to root is a cardinal rule though, am I the only one? Thanks to your channel I know I'm not:) New subbie

[@megeles]

after I wash my hair, I twist it with a gel and a leave-in conditioner and make sure to moisturize my roots. My roots still get a little tangled but not nearly so bad as before.

[@mylynnj3792]

I have this problem on occasion. This video was much needed! Thank You!!!

[@smentor6509]

I do a round robin on my hair. Tips, root, middle, repeat until my hair is detangled.

[@latashas9683]

Congrats 15k😘😘😘 Keep them coming!!!!😘😘😘

My high porosity hair is giving me a warm time 😅especially in the crown.

Interesting

[@ruthlessog9098]

0:57 omggg I've been seeing that a lott lately 😳 the long one! But mostly the little ones.. literally all of them 🥲

[@ALove4Me]

Oh no! Hopefully you can get that under control

[@ruthlessog9098]

@@ALove4Me yess!!! I took your advice and I'm barely seeing any!! Thank you do muchhhhhh❣

[@ladybugstella9026]

Thank you for this video. These tips are exactly what I needed to hear.

[@STP255]

Wow - I’m so glad I searched for this subject and found your video. I will try the pre poo of water and oil to my roots an hour before I shampoo. I never thought of that at all. I may even use water and that African pride pre shampoo treatment. You’re giving me ideas to move through wash day faster. Also, I’m one of those naturals that MUST wash twice a week - due to my amount of tangles. Gosh I hope this helps my next wash

[@ALove4Me]

Let me know your results!

[@cherylnichols8609]

My tangled roots are out to control and it seemed to have occurred over night. I can’t even wear a WNG or twist out anymore

[@ALove4Me]

[@outherewildinb2874]

Well done on 15k! Not surprised at all, your work speaks for itself (and works consistently!). I'll have to use these techniques this week, back to school has been so hectic haha

[@VSeckrets619]

Thank you. My daughter is mixes and her hair gets soo matted at the root no matter how much moisture I put in.

[@ALove4Me]

You are so welcome!

[@jeremiahbrown2339]

I’m late to this but I have super kinky curly hair that’s fine too. People always ask me how I get my curls do curly and fine. That it looks like I do them individually but they’re like micro coils and and would take like 10 hours if I did. Ppl say they look nice even white ppl are amazed at how fine my curls are but it’s kind of a curse bc my roots matt up after a week of wearing a wash and go my hair shirks to like 75%. I think im going to either have to only do wash and goes for a few days or always do twists or braids bc I can’t stop it from matting. And I use a creamy hot oil treatment from lush to detangle it and every time I lose a a bunch of hair like a lot! It suck bc I finally learned how to make my curls pop and their unique ppl always comment on them but I can’t find a way to get around the matting I use everyone’s advice and nothing works my hair is going to shrink no matter what unless I stretch it right after detangling it! What’s the point in having super fine springy curls if I can’t rock them without them matting!

[@ALove4Me]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ericawatson352]

Is that NayaReadsandSmiles that you're watching at 5:50?

Yep. Nice catch!

Water is the only moisturizing agent! Shampoo, (water enters), condition (seal hair) then style!

[@aldinettelockett6943]

II am 72 years old and I have mid back length hair that shrinks up to about my shoulders. I have been using a hair growing concoction of fenugreek, chopped onion, chopped fresh rosemary, and olive oil-all organic. Since I have been using the concoction to come back alopecia and grow my hair, I’ve been experiencing root tangles for the first time in my life. You mentioned that the tangles can be caused by breakage or shedding. since it’s in a tangle I can’t tell how to determine which is which. Any thoughts how much going on Recently with my hair

[@ALove4Me]

it sounds like the growth concoction is causing too much buildup at the roots of your hair

[@freelynn2936]

@@ALove4Mehow do u fix that?

Can flax seed work for detangling?
