So I bought my TT lifesaver, miracle aparatus today. I must confess that for the past 3 and 1/2 months I have been intimidated by my hair. I have never had to deal with my hair this long and in 2 different textures. When I straightened in September and saw the lenght and volume of my hair, ever since then I have been petrified of a set back. So I manipulate only to wash and then back in a bun it goes.
I am the most impatient detangler. I might be MBL by now if I were more gentle and patient when detangling. My technique is probably off too. Anyhow, this is also the time of year that I shed more than usual. Add that to my worries of losing volume and I'm almost in tears when I have to detangle.
Well, the TT is so amazing that, detangling didn't take as long and I lost less hair than is typical for me. I neglected to read the directions so I use it with a head full of DC (Kenra MC amped up with EVCO and EVOO). I was so please with the TT that I was brave enough to attempt a braidout for the 1st time since September. It was a breeze and again I lost much less hair (about 50 strands). Usually after completing a braid out I lose as much hair as a weeks worth of shedding.
So, I'm really pleased. This transition is no joke, but I have another weapon in my arsenal to help me go the distance
