I’m so frustrated y’all. This past weekend I shampooed and then started to detangle. This time, and this has been happening a lot lately, my Denman laughed at me. I’m talking full on, gut-jiggling chortle. First, the pad slipped out of the brush and went flying around the bathroom. Once I reassembled (mind you, I was still in the shower) and restarted my detangling I realized the brush felt a bit weird in my hair. It just wasn’t catching the way it normally would. So I pause for a moment, look down and one of the rows is all wrapped up underneath the pad…how the hell did that happen?! Did I mention, this is a modified Denman!
Why you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
I’m fed up. The Denman use to help out quite a bit but now it seems like its more of a hindrance than a help. Finger detangling takes so much time (which I don’t always have) and my wide tooth comb is just alright these days. Got any suggestions?
What’s your favorite tool for detangling?
I use a wide tooth pick (not the one with the fist lol). To me it’s easier to grip than a comb. I only use the denman now when I do a blow out or when I used to flat iron.
Nothing like the good ol’ pick. Preferably a plastic one as opposed to a metal one. Or you could use the wide tooth comb. Comb the hair in sections, use your other hand to hold the hair firmly in place while you comb the ends. This prevents the comb from pulling at the roots.
hope this helps
I personally have tried every type of detangling tool known to man! I recently started to use the Tangle Teezer that is sold as Sally’s Hair and Beauty Supply and also on Kinky Curly’s website. What I have notice about the Tangle Teezer that is does a really great job at detangling with out it:
A) removing my curl definition
B) Pulling out my hair
C) Only removing shed hair
My detangling time has been cut in half and it is super easy to use. Also, I love the fact that there is no handles and it fits in the palm of your hand. With a really great conditioner, the Tangle Teezer can slip straight through my hair without any problems.
I just use my fingers, and occasionally a wide tooth comb. I’ve found it easier to at least finger detangle and put my hair in twists before I shampoo, and then detangle again in small sections twist by twist after I’ve conditioned with conditioner on my hair.
With a wet head full of conditioner I detangle with a wide tooth comb, followed by my modified Denman brush. Note: I always make sure that the conditioner has been on for at least 5 minutes.
