Just curious....
Do braidouts and twistouts give everyone bad tangles even if they re-braid or re-twist at night???
I out on a whole lot of shea butter, and that, for whatever reason, keeps my ends happy. I retwist every single night and my knots are not a concern as long as I do that. I just want to re-emphasize the fact that heavy shea butter has made my ends more happy and less likely to knot. Coupled with twisting nightly or wearing twists and not taking down, shea butter as a heavy "ends-assistant" has been great.
I am considering vaseline too as it gets longer. Don't shoot me.
