Hey Everybody!
Introduce Yourself
First: Don't wear a nylon. Get your hair wet. use a liquid shampoo or BS. DO NOT WAS YOUR HAIR. Just wash your scalp. If you use shampoo, scrub it. If BS, don't scrub.
2: they will unravel at first. and will probably continue to do so the first few times you wash. They will, however, quickly begin to tangle themselves back up again. All tnr or back combing is is a blueprint for where the sections will be
3: When you dry your hair, don't rub it with the towel, just squeeze excess water out and pat dry. Rubbing takes out knots, not tangles them more
4: sea salt works, but don't use too much. I do a light spray right before bed the night before I wash. Then I wash it out first thing in the morning.
But most important is to get all the wax out. Wax pretty much stops the entire locking process.
