Curls: Finger Detangling Follow-Up, Aussie Moist, and Twists

In a previos post I told you guys about my "less stress detangling" that allows me to detangle my hair but cause less stress; thus, giving me less shedding. Well after well over a week and matted and dry hair, I could not go any longer with out washing and conditioning my hair. I washed my hair with a Giovonni product, but I am really excited about my Aussie Moist experience. It was my first time purchasing the condition after hearing nothing but good things about it. I absolutely loved it! You get a good bit of conditioner for the price (33 fl oz for $7.60 with taxes). The smell was great, and it provided enough slip in my hair to finger detangle despite how tangled it was. I also left some of the Aussie in as a leave-in, and I am very pleased! Here are a few pictures:

Curls: Less Stress When Detangling

So I've discovered a way to be nicer to my curls when I detangle. Usually I soak my entire head and place copious amounts of conditioner in my hair before I take my wide tooth comb to gently detangle the knots. Then I would go back through my hair with my denman brush. The only problem was that I still seemed to see much more hair in the comb and the brush than I liked. So lately I've changed my routine a tad bit. Instead of using my wide tooth comb as the main tool to detangle my hair, I use my fingers. I still soak and condition my hair, but now I take the time to run my fingers through my hair in a few sections to loosen any knots or tangles. I start at the ends then work my way up to the roots. If I feel and area that's knotted I work with it a little to free the hair strands. After I have detangled my entire head with my hands, I then go back through my hair with my wide tooth comb. As a result I see a lot less hair in the comb; thus making me a very very happy camper!
