Blow Drying and Detangling Natural Hair

   

   First I detangle...for my hair, I need more than conditioner. I usually used conditioner mixed with just a bit of oil ( usually a pea size to a dime size) to add slippage.  Also, I do my hair in sections and this is also what I did when I would stretch my relaxers for 6 months at a time.  

 

I detangle while the water is running in my hair rinsing out the conditioner. Then I would braid up that section of hair that I detangled to keep it from tangling again. Usually I use for large braids.    When I am done washing... I put in a moisturizer/heat protectant and let my hair air dry a bit. Finally, I take down each braid ( since it is still damp, I comb through from ends to roots to make sure I get rid of any loose hairs) and then blow dry.  I have to use a wide tooth comb attachment... I was using a diffuser in one hand and a comb in another but my hair got too big.

 

I hope that helps...others might have a different way.
