Hope you guys give it a try!

    Omggggg girl there’s a special place in heaven for you. I have the most thickest unmanageable 4c hair. And my build up is always so thick when I take out my braids. The apple cider vinegar mixture really saved me. It makes it so much more easier to take my braids out. THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️
    Edit: I definitely recommend mixing the apple cider vinegar with water as the apple cider vinegar alone can be very irritating to the scalp. But it works well:)

    Thank you soo much for sharing these methods! I’ve been going about detangling wrong all these years and would always have SO much fallout. I gave the ACV method a try because I already had peppermint oil and knew ACV would be easy to find. This was so effective and easy to do that I am never going back to my old ways. LOVE that the peppermint oil helps dilute the smell of the ACV (I’ve never been a fan of the smell and thus have never just had this on-hand, but the water and peppermint oil did wonders for that aversion). THANK YOU for saving ya girl time and hair in the process

    GIRL THANK YOU!!! I have always ragged a brush through water soaked buildup and caused my scalp so much agony, but this video saved me today.
    I didn’t copy your mixtures (as I’d already made half an attempt at my usual method but to no avail), but I did have plenty of oils and leave in conditioner which I gently massaged over the roots and buildup! No one has ever taught me this, or anything actually with my hair journey, I’ve had to figure things through trial and error with my curls, but you saved the day!🎉 I just wished I watched this video 2 hours prior to jumping in the shower and pulling at my stressed hair😭

IT'S MATTED AND is there any recovery from this???

    Very helpful video wish I would of saw this last night tho. I rarely get my hair done since I have thick hair I can just do it myself but decided to get my hair done since it was a special time. So I had big braids going into 2 braided buns with weave to make the buns bigger and only had the style for 2 in a half weeks. I had built up dirt and hard in some spots and thought well when I wash it with shampoo it should be good and not so tangled up I was soo wrong. I washed it and then conditioned it and it was knotted up hard for me to comb with detangled comb and my fingers was not doing the trick either and when I did get some knots out so much of my hair came out more than I ever saw. I definitely should of did these steps first Thank you so much for this. Sorry for the long story

    Ok like others have said this video is the best. I had my braids in a month longer than planned and took down today the build up was insane. I was worried but I went ahead and tried the acv mixture with the peppermint oil And tea tree oil. Just like she said the build up came right on out and no breakage from a comb. Thank you 😁

    • @indiaheard8011
      @indiaheard8011 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok. You’ve got me convinced. Trying tomorrow. I left my crochet braids in a little too long and was using a lot of gel around the edges to lay it down. But also, the buildup around the root of each braids was ridiculous. So frustrated. Praying for the best. But seems like this is an awesome tutorial.
