After tangles and matts -- and lost hair again in the crown *sniff sniff* -- here are my twist out results with
Trader Joe Nourish Spa Conditioner.
Trying to decide if this will be my go-to summer style?
It's OK as long as it doesn't rain. When it does, I'll have to pull it up. The tangles really have me scurred; I just cut a few more out last night. I don't know HOW folks with locs detangle their hair. I just don't have the patience. My hair was so matted at the middle and in some cases at the ends and gnarled with hair that I couldn't get a metal pick, pin or anything else through it, so I just snipped.
From now on, I'm committed to weekly detangling sessions -- wide-toothed comb -- once a week and finger detangling throughout the week or as I'm twisting it. And, I still need a trim badly!
I'm trying to give up the gel -- the bane of my hair's existence and partially to blame for my matted hair -- as my go-to style when I don't know what else to do with my hair.
Is this style a keeper?
