Hands Down, The Best Detangler. Spill The Details

[Bette Davis Eyes]

What is the best detangler you have ever used and WHY? How did you use it? How often do you detangle?

Homemade, Boutique, OTG. I want to hear the details

 

[Lynn84]

I mix Giovanni direct leave in with aloe Vera gel and juice. Best leave in ever! It gives my hair so much slip and it still feels light. I mix 2 oz Giovanni with 1 oz Avg and 1 oz avj. I only detangle on wash days.

 

[CodeRed]

Just Natural Skincare Detangler - all natural detangler. The only reason I stopped using it is because of the cost + it can only be bought online and I was in search of something that did just as well on the ground, which leads me to

Ion Leave In Conditioner - best one I found on the ground. Gives me pretty much the same results as JNS (detangling, slip, shine) but JNS gave me shine no matter what conditioner I used prior to. The Ion Leave In gives me shine but if the conditioner I'm using prior to it dulls my hair a bit it won't be as blingy.

Honorable mentions:

- Shea Moisture Kids Spray Detangler - gave great slip but didn't add any shine to my hair
- Aveeno Leave In Treatment - same as Shea Moisture
- Serums - they have been very helpful in the preventing tangles. Glad I started using them but wish I did sooner... The ones I've used (Chi Silk Infusion, GVP Silk Remedy, Biosilk) have all given softness and slip to my hair.

I use Suave Naturals (any scent except strawberry) to detangle. It's cheap and effective. I can fully finger detangle with a handful of this stuff on soaking wet hair. This also prevented me from cutting off an entire cornrow when I was taking down my crochet braids.

I have also been loving SM raw Shea butter leave in detangler. I can skip my leave in and oil after I use this. Nice and slippy on soaking wet hair. Also a good moisturizer on dry hair.

I detangle daily in the shower now since I cowash daily. But I've used both when I was detangling every week or every other week and they worked great.

Prior to washing my hair I use water and coconut oil (but I plan on changing this when I go back to MHM).

The BEST detangler for my hair has been watered down tressume undone conditioner

- Use it after rinsing out the DC

SSI Pomegranate Curl Quenching Conditioner

Oh yeah I loved that too for cowash & deep conditioning

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Oh I will definitely be subbing to this thread!!!

 

[Aggie]

Okay ladies help me out again please but what does OTG mean? I keep seeing it but have no idea what it menas.

 

[MileHighDiva]

Pre-wash dentangling = EVCO based product, such as, HV Vatika Frosting, Dabur Vatika Oil etc.

Post-Cleanse = LRC Shake & Go

On the ground.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Darcy's Leave In gave me the best slip and moisture ever. I really need to get more.

 

[CodeRed]

@CodeRed is that the only Just Natural product you've tried ?

I tried their conditioner for extremely dry hair and I believe something else for dry hair... It was a long time ago, before I even joined this board in 2011 and I remember only being impressed with the detangler. The other products weren't bad but they were just average for the price in my opinion.

 

[nymane]

Silicon Mix (the original)

 

[naturalmanenyc]

Shea Moisture Purification Masque on dry hair (not the Dandruff formula one with the same labeling/colors, but the original). I've used it to take out 8 - 12 week old crochet braids with no problems.

 

[Naturallyyy0416]

Hi guys! I am new to this forum. I big chopped almost 2 yrs then perm it and i recently big chopped again. I am so excited to start this new journey again. Taking it one day at a time and trying different products. I am also an ambassador for a subscription box. They provide natural & handmade hair & skincare products. The good thing is its not monthly its per season so i think you guys should check them out! www.essentialsboxx.com

 

[Prettymetty]

I mix equal parts of Mane n tail conditioner, aloe vera juice and hot six oil. Slip, strength and softness.

 

[imaginary]

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration and water. Hands down the best for me.

 

[InBloom]

It's a 10, or the Sally's knock off Miracle 7.

Awesome detangler but not a great moisturizer is Mane N Tail detangler. I stopped using this for the other two above for their conditioning properties.

Deep conditioning with Obliphica. Which is my new love.

Cowashing in general.

 

[AgeinATL]

ST knot sauce-used it strictly as a detangler before washing my hair. Amazing slip.
Shescentit chocolate pumpkin cowash-use it as a rinse out and it melts my tangles. I can easily finger detangle with it.
SM purification mask (original formula)-used it to detangle before washing or as a cowash. Tangles literally melted.
Curl Junkie smoothing lotion- used it as a leave in. Awesome slip but zero moisture.

 

[Bette Davis Eyes]

okay ladies, you all have to spill the deal on how you use it, and how often. Dont just drop the goods and leave.

WE WANT the details

I have a huge container of this. Its my boo thang from years ago. I need to get to it in a hurry. Thanks for the reminder.

I have used this as a leave in on freshly washed hair, a prepoo/detangler, and to restyle/refresh dry hair. And you can see in my Avi what I'm working with lol...I MUST have slip to get through these kinky yet fine strands.

 

[HappyAtLast]

Aussie Moist on dry natural/new growth hair.
Grapeseed oil on dry texlaxed hair.

I always start with simple finger detangling with no product. I use these two only on wash day on dry, dirty hair. I guess others may consider it a prepoo, but I just consider it detangling with ease.

I divide my hair in quarters, apply the AM on the new growth and massage in. Next I apply the grapeseed on the texlaxed hair. At this point, Ive reached "butter" stage where the comb just glides through for easy detangling/de-shedding.

When KoilsbyNature Shealoe leave in conditioner was in a jar, it was the bidness for detangling, dry/wet/damp hair. I havent revisiting since she changed bottles. I heard on the PJ streets the formula changed

I use Soultanicals Knot Sauce on dry or damp hair. Sometimes I break out the detangling brush if its bad but mostly use my fingers.

I'm also a fan of oil topped with any deep conditioner. I let it marinate and then finger detangle.


Qhemet Biologics CTDG is a favorite of mine to dry detangle with.
