Hi, ladies and gents!

Given the number of hair videos nowadays, there's just no way one person can view even a significant portion to find the gems. However, if we collectively distill the best of the best, then we can each encounter many more great videos in much, much, much less time.

Thread "Rules"
  1. Please link only 1-3 videos per post. To share more videos than that, please create an additional post.
  2. When selecting videos, do aim high. What are the most helpful videos you've seen?
  3. OPTIONAL: Above each video please post the following three things. This will help your fellow LHCF sisters and brothers save time.

Video's intended audience: natural/relaxed who finger detangle
Video's main topic: How to properly finger detangle using the harping method

This video changed the game for me. I have been using this method to finger detangle before I use a comb and I truly believe that it has greatly minimized the breakage that I get on wash day.

Excellent Detangling Methods

NOTE:
I have found that if I start out with a combination of the techniques in the 3rd and 2nd videos and then move to doing the method in the 1st video with a Wet Brush and a course-toothed comb and then my fingers or a fine-toothed comb, detangling goes VERY well with minimum hair loss and maximal removal of shed hair.

Adding AVJ to my regimen in this way has changed my hair tremendously. It was dry and rough constantly. My twist outs always had a halo of dry frizz. Now my hair is silky and soft and the curls are defined.
