Squeaky hair - I've only felt this when using shampoos that stripped my hair.
Tangles - I use to be a tangler and can go back there at any given moment if I fail to take proper precaution. Ensuring my hair is properly detangled pre-wash has significantly minimized post-wash tangling. I use detangling product pre-wash to ensure my sheds are removed.
Shedding - Failing to remove shed hairs properly can cause tangles. I shed far more than some (based on their comments regarding how little they shed) but I don't consider it excessive. @
Nonie often explains shedding is a healthy function of the scalp and I like to ride with this theory. However, if you feel your shedding is excessive, you should visit the Coffee/Tea thread for ideas. I spritz my hair with teas (marshmallow root & slippery elm) that provide moisture, thus it hasn't minimized shedding in any way. The teas/coffee that are said to control shedding make my hair feel hard/dry.
A great shedding product that I actually use post-TU is Alter Ego Garlic. It helps to control any post-TU shedding issues.
