cosigning.... :yup: Aveda's Damage Intensive Reconstructor works really well for that.Synthia said:Make sure you're using something to close and smooth your hair cuticle ..whether a detangler, ACV rinse, cold water rinse, a small drop of oil smoothed over wet hair, etc.
When the cuticle is ragged or abraided strands cling together. But if you close your cuticles ...you should have good detangling even once dry.
Hopefully someone can come on and give you better tips about this.
Because even if I have bad ends and refuse to cut them, I never have tangles because of what I described above.
syze6 said:You may have to part with the ends. As another poster stated, your hair is splitting all the way up. Even if your ends look great and are neatly trimmed, the hair up the strand is damaged. This is what was happennign to me. I could comb through and finger comb to a certain point. Once I reached that point it was nothing but tangles and the ends were sticking together. It was driving me nuts, I used reconstructures and deep conditons but it didn't get better. My ends were thin and you could see through them. I cut them today and I'm glad I did! Good Luck!

Lovelylocs said:Sassy, how often do u deep condition? I don't think that u should cut them at all. I think you should try to work through it. You will learn a lot and you won't have to loose as much length, if any at all.

cocoberry10 said:This could actually be the problem. I think on some people's hair, using oil actually causes the hair to bond together like glue. I had a disaster this summer like that. I put conditioner on my hair (and I add oil to my conditioner--at least I used to). Anyway, I put my plastic cap on, and went outside on the deck, since my cat wanted to go outside (I had to watch him, so no animals would get him). Anywhoo, I sat outside in the sunlight, and left conditioner on for like 2-3 hours. When I rinsed it out, it had created the biggest knot in the middle of my hair !
I went to the hairdresser two days later, and she spent almost 1.5 hours trying to detangle. I lost soooooooooooooo much hair that day, I just cried! She explained to me what had happened and told me never to do that again. That may be your problem, especially if it's closer to relaxer time (assuming you relax). Once I get past week 6, I have to use things that are light with good slip, or it's disaster for my hair. Sorry post so long, and hope it helps you.
