I haven't combed my natural hair for two years..

I love your hair! I do not think I would be able to do my hair without combing it. My hair has too many different hair types for me to even think about not using a comb!

I finger detangle too but every so often I have to rely on using combs so kudos for being able to not rely on that.

Your hair is lovely as always. You may want to speak up a bit more in your videos and you seem to go off tangent a bit which may turn off some viewers. Also with it being titled as a how-to people may be expecting a short demonstration of how you finger detangle as there are different ways of doing it as showing is better than explaining. Perhaps you can try that for your next video? All in all a good first video and I'm excited to see more. Congrats on reaching hiplength! I can't wait to see more videos.

Cute video! Love your accent. I've learned that my type 4 hair hates combs, too, and it's best to detangle using my fingers.

Thanks for posting!

Wow. I'll have to try to see if I can give up the comb. My hair gets sooo tangled sometimes. Thanks for sharing this video. And congrats on your lovely hair! I do agree with the other poster who mentioned turning up the volume on your video, though, because it was a bit hard to hear. But great overall!

Fantastic!! Congratulations! I love your hair!

Now... could you do a video tutorial? I'm always up for adding tips to my arsenal to protect my fine strands. How often do you detangle and how do you keep from getting tangles at the root?

I would do a lot of finger combing. Not sure if I could do absolutely no combing.

Me neither, i think i am going on 2 years now. I don't think it's controversial like you said in your vid their are loads of naturals who don't.

I only detangle when washing with a head full of conditioner, I use a pulling technique.

Funny, I haven't used a comb/brush on my hair is a couple of month and, though my hair isn't as long as the OP, I've not only managed to retain some length, but shedding and SSI's have decreased and my hair barely tangles anymore.

I didn't make a conscience effort to stop combing. It actually came about out of pure laziness when I realized how easy finger detangling was. So I think I'll stick with it. Who knows? Maybe one day my hair will be long too!

Hey Inspiired! I think that for newbies, it may be good to post a video about what products you use and how you apply them and how often you apply them. Because I hear a lot of ladies in the UK complain that they don't have the same products that we have in the U.S. So maybe a video like that would be helpful to people starting their HHJ, especially ladies in the UK.

I'm curious! I would love to see styles you do without detangling the hair and how you trim your hair. Please show me the way!

YouR hair is beautiful OP!

Fingercombing/sectioning only worked for me when my hair was shorter. I get to many knots and tangles if I keep it up. I shed like a beast though, so I really have to get that shed hair out.

It just goes to show how different everyone is.

My hair would be a knotty mess if I didn't comb it or use my denman brush.

What does it look like freshly washed? How do you get the stretch?

Inspiired I'm so glad you decided to do a youtube afterall! I just had my first full head finger detangling session and I must say, it's a keeper. My hair has never looked better, its more bouncy, moist, clumpy-- everything I wanted has been answered to allow me to move forward. I think once I get the hang of it, I will have a fairly short routine & complete regimen (n ready to retain) .
