On break
I have a friend who is in tears right now over her hair. I really want to help, but I don't think what works for my hair works for hers (I've been sharing my techniques with her for awhile). What do you guys think she should try?
Here's the situation (in her words):
------------------------
So what do you think, guys? What could be the cause? She has clarified before to get a fresh start, and she has trimmed, so that's not it.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I told her I'd make this thread and that she should be able to watch in on the responses.
Here's the situation (in her words):
I have been experiencing extreme tangling throughout every step of my washday process. I pre poo, detangle, shampoo and DC in sections. My hair tangles no matter what I do or product I use. This has resulted in knotted ends and I have to literally rip through my hair, especially the ends.
I am beyond frustrating and at this point I don’t know what the problem is and what to do. I washed my hair today and I lost so much hair and there were broken pieces everywhere.
How did you fix your tangling issue? I just don’t know what to do at this point. My hair is dry after deep conditioning and actually feels stripped upon rinsing.
I just trimmed so I know that’s not the problem. My hair tangles from the root to tip. I am beyond frustrated and tired. I’m crying . . .

Porosity: Normal
Last trim: October
Pre-poo: Moisturizing conditioner added to dry hair for about 30 minutes. Spray hair with water, detangle in sections, twist and secure with goody ouchless barrette (do this for all four sections). Hair is still tangled upon rinsing out to proceed to shampooing.
Shampoo: The Mane Choice Halo. Tangles more after.
DC: Soultanicals Afrotastic. Upon rinsing, my hair is extremely tangled and dry. My ends are knotted and it is almost impossible to detangle. When I do, it takes forever and I loose so much hair (breakage and shedding). My hair feels squeaky after deep conditioning and this along with the knots and tangling happens no matter what DC I use.
I apply leave in, cream and oil to style but my hair is still dry after.
