I allowed by DD's 4a/b natural hair to air dry after washing and condioning in plaits, sealing with wheat germ oil and Kimmaytube leave in conditioner (KCKT, Aloe vera inner leaf gel, castor oil, and jojoba oil) then detangling and placing hair in 6-8 twists. I allowed her hair to air dry so that her plaits would not look so short because of the shrinkage. I attempted to part her hair to style it as gently as possible but she cried because her hair was so tangled, especially at the ends. I then applied Alba Unprotroleum as a moisturizer before combing. This helped some. I certainly did not expect to loose so much hair because I detangled while wet with WGO and leave in. I just dont understand why her hair shedded again. After all, she lost about 4-5 oz of hair.
What in the ham and cheese did I do wrong?

I styled my daughters hair in 35-40 box plaits and plan on washing and conditioning her hair in the plaits. I am just not sure about what to do after the wash and conditon in the plaits. I read what mom in the blog does, but I cant see my self undoing 50-11 plaits in the tub, detangling, then redoing. It already took me 3 hours to do the box plaits.
Suggestions any one?
