As I am speaking today my hair is almost at waist length.
I didn’t start out that way and this is the longest that my hair has ever been.
I have been natural now for approaching 6 years.

I wash and deep condition my hair every two weeks. I detangle my hair…urm…well…probably hardly ever!
I am a lazy detangler.
I have 4 young children whom I homeschool so there is not much time in my day.
I can’t spend time alone carefully stroking conditioner down each strand of my hair.
If I’m being honest I can’t actually be bothered and would prefer to use my time to do something else.
It just doesn’t work for me and my schedule.

My routine usually goes something like this:
I divide my hair into roughly 6 sections.
I apply conditioner on each section and carefully remove any loose strands of hair and leave it to sit for about 30 minutes.

I then head to the bathroom to start washing my hair in its sections.
My hair washing doesn’t consist of gently detangling each section.
Usually the minute I start trying to detangle one of my wonderful children will want my attention.
The idea is that I am in and out as quickly as possible.
After washing I apply a leave-in conditioner followed by Shea butter to protect my hair from the suns harsh rays. (Still in its sections)

I then braid it and allow my hair to air dry. In between washes I never EVER try to comb it.
I just tease any tangled loose strands out of my hair that I might find.
That’s pretty much it.
If detangling each strand of hair works for you then that’s great I encourage you to continue but if it doesn’t don’t beat yourself up about it.
As I am speaking today my hair is almost waist length…if you love it, it WILL GROW!
