Updates to my hair regimen…dry finger detangling!!

Well, as of late I have made some changes to my hair care. If you’ve read any of my past hair regimens you know that I formerly detangled my hair in the shower, sopping wet and loaded with conditioner with a wide tooth comb. I’ve flipped the script. Dry finger detangling is the movement for my hair. I want to say I’ve been doing this for about 2 months give or take. Now I’ll get specific. Before my shower in which I have intentions to condition, I separate my hair into about 5 sections. I use some oil on my hands and work it through each section and feel for any tangles and knots. It takes patience but I am thoroughly satisfied with this method for now. My fingers have much greater digression and I have way less hair coming out than usually ends up in my comb. I twist each section when I’m through with it to get out of the way. I thoroughly wet my hair once I get in the shower while it’s still in twists and apply conditioner. I let it soak in while I take my shower. At the end of my shower, I unloose one twist at a time and feel for any last tangles while water is running through that section. I still leave a bit of conditioner in. I retwist each section if I have time and a final cold rinse. I squeeze excess water out in the same method with a t-shirt. If I still have my hair in twists, I apply product in each of those sections and air dry for a wash and go. If not, I just spread the product as I see fit. If this happens to be a day in which I’ll be cleansing, then after dry detangling, I may mist my scalp and apply the cleansing product to my scalp and rub it around just my scalp before I get into the shower and then rinse while in twists and go straight to apply conditioner. This is just to avoid having to retwist again. My twists would begin to unravel with the wet cleansing rubbing and rinsing. I’ve noticed my hair does not tangle nearly as much, single strand knots have decreased. I have half the hair loss than with a comb which makes me hope for some eventual noticeable length retention. I dyed my hair a week ago so I want to treat it extra delicately, keep it happy. Well if you guys have any questions, lemme know. Now nothing is wrong with my former method but this is tops for now.
