Ok, so here's the situation... I am currently 17 weeks post tex-lax, so you know the new growth is poppin and has a mind of its own. To keep it under control, I co-wash 2-3 times a week. Whenever I co-wash,wash, DC, etc, whatever, I always have to re-apply conditioner to get the rest of the tangles out of my hair...especially in the middle from the crown to the nape area since that's where the tight coils reside and join forces against the detangling proces.
So earlier tonight, my friend, now roommate (who has natural 3c/4a hair and lurks here and on naturallycurly.com) told me about this Ouidad comb that was the best comb ever. She brought it over to me to show me: http://images.ouidad.com/images/products/92009.gif and I kinda gave it the side eye like, "What is that? Why is it so heavy?" (It has some weight to it, but still comfortable to hold). She said, "I don't know, but it's the best."
Later on I told her I was going to co-wash. She said, "Here, take the comb." So I did. Before I got into the shower, I took my bun down and kinda ran my fingers through (the tex-laxed parts..no way they were getting through the jungle of NG that's going on), but I didn't really detangle it. I got into the shower, wet my hair, applied my Aussie Moist throughout as usual, and let it sit whilst I did my showerly duties. Then I ran a little water through my hair, ran the Ouidad Double Detangler through a COUPLE of times, and....
That thing just eased on down the kinky coily brick road with NO EFFORT! NO. EFFORT. Usually at this point I'm running my Jilbere comb several times (gently, of course) and applying more conditioner to get the same detangling effect. And usually at this point, my Jilbere comb has quite a few of my shed hairs stuck to to it, where the Ouidad had NONE. Ok, maybe one. And usually at this point, I would have seen much of my hair go down the drain after detangling with the Jilbere, but with the Ouidad, it was considerably less! Normally at this point, I might have had a couple of knots to coax out (especially with this new growth), but with the Ouidad, it was a NON-ISSUE. I only had to run it through my hair a few times and the whole thing was detangled. I am in LOVE!
Yes, the comb is $24, it's big and has some weight to it (maybe that's why it works so well!), but it is so, so SOOOOOO definitely worth the investment! Now there's no way I'm going back to my regular shower comb. I could have saved so much hair if I had this comb all along. Luckily for me, I can save some time and money now by using my roommate's comb (she said I can use it any time. YESSSS!), but I will most definitely be getting one of my own. It works GREAT! This comb has seriously changed my life.

Be sure to come back and tell us your experience! I'm sure it'll work. It's a really great comb.
Detangling is what I really hate. For me and my daughter.
