What is the BEST detangling/detangler conditioner to long naturally curly hair?

I have naturally curly (mid-back length). I get horrible tangles %26amp; knots everyday %26amp; it takes me at least 15 minutes to comb them out after the shower %26amp; after using a handfull of conditioner.


It seems I've tried EVERYTHING on the market.. infusium, biosilk, tigi, redkin all soft, redkin smooth down, pantene, paul mitchell detangler... Some work better than others, but nothing helps me reduce the tangles or comb them out easier.


Does anyone with similar problems know of a miracle product I haven't found yet?


Much appreciated!!

What is the BEST detangling/detangler conditioner to long naturally curly hair?
Try organic root stimulator hair mayonnaise(*warning* protein conditioner) or Olive oil replenishing paks, you say you have mid back curly hair so you might want to buy about eight paks, they're only 1.18 per pack(where I live anyways.) then comb out the tangles while the conditioner is in your hair. You might also want to invest in a Denman brush, they are especially for women with curly hair.


The reason I said warning, protein conditioner, is because if you do to many back to back protein conditioning then it begans to break the hair.
Reply:Garnier Fructise. Brush from the bottom and work your way up.
Reply:I like conditioner by Grenedier. It really leaves hair smooth and tangle free. Try it!
Reply:My daughter has mid back length wavy/curly tangles and we use Suave kids detangler. I don't know if it is the "best" but it is cheap enough to give it a try and see if it works for you.
Reply:Do you comb the conditioner through your hair with a wide tooth comb in the shower? That will help alot. The conditioners that you mention are all good conditioners. After shampooing, wring out the excess water carefully and gently prior to putting in the conditioner. Grab your hair like your putting a ponytail in and only put the conditioner in the long part of your hair. I would put in small amounts at a time, sectioning it as you go, to make sure that you are coating all of the hair. When you shampoo your hair, the part that needs to be shampooed well is your scalp and the hair closest to the scalp. The rest of your hair just needs to have the shampoo put through it lightly, it does not need to be suds up. Do you get frequent trims? Dry, split ends will tangle easier.
Reply:I also have naturally curly hair....





If you're using anything cheap from a grocery store shelve...( this includes Pantene)...that's half your problem. You probably have a buildup on your hair.





You need to go to a salon and have them strip the buildup off your hair and remoisturize it. It shouldn't cost more than the price of getting your hair shampooed.





Do not feel bad about giving your scalp a good scrub. It stimulate blood flow to the hair follicle and promate healthier hair. You can't prevent spilt ends...it's inevitable. However, you can keep them under control with regular trims.





Start at the hairline and work your way to the nape of the neck. Apply enough pressure with the pads of your fingers or your nails...whatever feels best to you.





Professional products are always best as the don't buildup on the hair as fast and hey are formulated to build strength and elasticity within the hairshaft.





There are 2 important things to remember when you're conditioning....





1. Squeeze the excess water out of your hair before you apply the conditioner. Your hair is like a sponge. If you put a soaking wet sponge on water....it won't do anything because it's full of water. If your hair is full of water....the conditioner will go down the drain. If you put a damp sponge on water....it soaks the water up. The same thing happens with damp hair...the conditioner will go INTO the hairshaft.





2. Rinse the conditioner with lukewarm water. Luke warm to your hands...it will feel slightly cool on your head. If you use very hot water...you will open the cuticle layer and flush out all the conditiner you just put in...back down the drain. Luke warm water will rinse the excess off the outside of the hairshaft....but the inside will retain the what you put in.





Apply a thermal proctectant to the hair prior to blowdrying.





Finally finish with a moisturizing leave-in conditoner. This can be applied to wet or dry hair.





Some suggestions for product:





Loma


Hydrating Shampoo


Hydrating Conditoner


Pearitin Serum





Paul Brown Hawaii


Booster ( Thermal protectant)








Always use professional products, they are formulated to not buildup on the hair as fast and to actually strengthen the hairshaft. You can try all the little concoctions people suggest....but the bottom line is you hair will grow from the root no matter what you do to the already grown hair. Once the hair has left the follicle...it's consider dead keratin protien. You just need to treat it right so it stays looking nice.
Reply:L'Oreal Kids has a detangling spray that smells like pears and works wonders on wet OR dry hair.





I can't recommend this product enough.
Reply:Curl Life, by Matrix


Sleek Look by Matrix





They're both for naturally curly hair. If you straighten it a lot, then use the Sleek Look. If you leave it curly all the time, then Curl Life works better. Just use a dime- or nickle-sized ammount.
