No Combing in 2 Months?!

I have a confession to make. 

If you read the post title then you already know what it is. 

I haven't combed my hair in 2 months.

 Yes, 2 months. Crazy as it sounds.

I don't know why, but I have only been finger detangling. 

So tonight I decided to finally detangle my hair. Boy was I scared. I just knew it would either take forever or I would lose boatloads of hair. 

I am happy to say that it only took me 45 minutes and although I did lose a lot of hair, it wasn't extraordinary. 

I started off by taking out the chunky twists I had in my hair for the week. When taking out each twist, I gently finger detangled. 

I was left with this. 

• Then I split my hair in half then worked in small sections. 
• Sprayed each section with water/avj/rose oil mix
• Finger detangled the section
• Detangled with a seamless wide tooth comb
• Detangled again with a seamless medium tooth comb
• Then I just applied my DC and braided
• I was left with a total of 12 braids

Detangling wasn't much of an issue until I got to my ends. They curl up and tangle so easily, but I made it through!

Are y'all ready to see how much hair I lost??

It looks like A LOT and it is. But think of it this way...

• I haven't combed my hair in a while
• My hair was in a protective style for the week
• My hair is super thick 
• and on average we shed about 100 strands a day. 

I'm not worried. 

If  you're wondering how much hair I typically lose when finger detangling weekly..here's a pic. 

I don't think I will ever go that long without combing again. Then again..it could have been worse.
