Is this possible without getting matting and tangles of mass destruction? I've peeped some fotkis and noticed that many naturals have received MBL to WL natural hair through keeping their hair in twists and washing or rinsing them weekly for up to a month.
I'm not gonna lie, I wear small to medium sized twists 90% of the time and I can go at least 3-4 weeks without washing and it has successfully gotten me to thick BSL hair with no tangles, no fuss. But now I feel that my hair could grow a lot faster if I wash my scalp and twists at least every week or two weeks so I recently attempted to wash and deep condition my hair in twists, once a week for the past two weeks. This made my hair, scalp and ends feel good but after the second week when it was time to take them out, I got lightheaded and naseous from the major tangles and matting at the roots that were forming.
Thank God I was able to carefully take them out without major damage but it took about 45 minutes compared to the 10 minutes it takes when I haven't washed my twists in weeks. I have 4a super coily strands that are indeed tangle prone. Is washing hair and scalp in twists just not for me or is there a certain technique that I should apply to avoid severe tangles and matting? Please help.
