| Do you guys always style/braid or sometimes leave hair loose after washing? How do you avoid tangling (while its drying)? |

when my hair was longer, i would air dry in a ponytail. and i always detangle in the shower. while its in a ponytail, i dont touch or manipulate so it doesnt get tangled. also using a leave in conditioner will help keep the tangles at bay ------------- |

When my hair hair was longer and relaxed, I just braided it and place a satin bonnet/scarf. Since I've done the BC I just wash it and put on a wave cap. ------------- 100% Natural BC - 4/21/07 Love All Gods' Creatures |

I chickened out and had my mom braid it again after I washed it but it feels like she ripping hairs out when she does  and I hate it, she has no patience at all.

SilverRain 80 are you relaxed or natural? Don't be scared to ask your mom to be patient with your hair and your head. Show her how u do it gently and if she can't do it that way...just do it yourself. Ibeen there, trust me! ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

| I air dry with my hair in loose braids (not a braidout though.) If your mom is braiding to hard you can ask her to be a bit more gentle. |

I am in transition I would say about 75% natural but my hair is really thick so it feels like 175%. I cannot braid to save my life plus left hand does not function well so I am considering cutting off the rest of the relaxed hair very soon...it will b a year August 6th...Im sooo nervous!!!! When I blow dry it its looks fine but once it sweats/humidifies/puffs out...the texture difference is not so cute...as much I want to hold onto the length it may have to go. The bottom is all natural and the top has about 6-8 inches of relaxed hair....can you imagine a super thick year old fro under a helmet of straight hair???...lololol

| what i do is i part my hair into four sections,apply conditioner(i use a leave-in)to each,then comb each section,and i braid each section which will be 4 big braids and i let hair dry like that.You can also do that with a conditioner you rinse out:and whenever it's time for you to rinse out the conditioner take out the braids hen rinse hair. |
