Question about natural hair (4c in particular)

[CinnaSlim]

This shyt is getting out of hands

I copped this as advised:


And at first it helped quite a lot, but with my afro growing and growing it doesn't do it anymore. I think I let my shyt get too tangled for it to still work. I honestly don't know how to save it or if it's even salvageable. There are so many knots

Finger detangling it would take so much time and even with that for the little itty bitty knots between two-five hairs I have to cut it with scissors. I tried to do the best I could under the shower but it's like I'm making no progress so I decided to braid and let it rest until I figure out something. I'm paying the price for all the weeks I went without detangling

Is there a way to save natural hair when you failed to take care of them correctly?

Get a trim.

When it comes to tools I prefer brushes over combs. My friend who's a natural hair stylist likes a paddle brush. I love my large tangle teezer.

Has anyone tried this? EZ Detangler Brush | Rated #1 Detangler Brush for 4B or 4C Hair

I don't have enough hair, but the design is unique and based on the videos it appears to work very well. Makes me want hair so I can detangle it.

I'm waiting for it in the mail this week. My hair is neither of those types but it def tangles.

maybe try deep conditioning with a shower cap and any rinse out conditioner for like 30 minutes first.

i don't have 4c hair but i don't use any of those detangling brushes. if i use something to detangle i'll just use a comb

and long before natural movements black people had afros and did not care about knots. idc about knots either. u should stop worrying about them

Thanks!

About the bolded, good point. It's just the more knots the more annoying it is to style the hair. Can't even do parts at some point.

I might not be able to dodge the trim yep

Isn't the brush I posted similar to a large tangle teezer?

Nah lol. If anything, it's more similar to a paddlebrush

I couldn't see the difference haha. I'm on it once I get my hair trimmed. Thanks

The difference is the multi level flexible bristles. The tangle teezer is like a carding brush. It smooths out the hair and detangles.
