You know how you carry million braids for a long time and it is time to take it off. Now, you have that “tangle” portion at the base of each braid, which is usually accumulated dirt. If I comb it out, I will lose all the hair on my head. What do I do?

A friend suggested that, I put conditioner and wait for like three to five minutes and try combing it out. If that don’t work, then I can shampoo it and then put conditioner and try to comb it. Is there any one here that has tried this before?

I don’t want to lose all my hair, so please help me. What do you ladies do?

Thanks

Don't wash it without removing the tangles o!

U have to be patient. Get those big needles they use to fix weaveon and use the head to detangle it little by little. It might take a while. But its worth it if u dont want to lose your hair. Thats what I do any time I loosen braids. U can ask someone to ohelp u

get some friend of yours to help out. i helped my roommate detangle her million braids . thank goodness it's summer time so we had the chance to do it before school. she is very grateful to me. not easy but whatever you do, don't wash or loose everything before trying to detangle. just one after the other like others are saying. i had to apply Ghana oil then use a sharp pointed comb to detangle, not easy sha.

Thanks a lot ladies. Ok this is what I did:

I used a push pin to "work" out the kokos (tangles) on by one.

Then my mom combed it out slowly.

Then I washed it.

And guess what? My hair bonded together like dread locks. I wanted to cry. But I did not sha.

So, I stood in the shower, armed with my big comb and started separating my hair, little by little and combing it out. Let's just say, it cut a bunch, but I have a big head with fully full hair, lol.

In essence, I am so grateful to y'all. If not for you all, I will be bald by now. Thanks so much for the tips. Let's just say, I will never braid my hair again and if I do, I will not keep it for five months.

Thanks once again, I really do appreciate all the tips.

Apply AFrica's Best Shea Butter for Kids. I swear by it!!

The kokos just melt away in seconds and your hair feels heavenly. Smells good too.

Cheers
