Lemme tell y'all.... you will need 2 hands for this challenge!! It will take me weeks to get my hair back to it's glory...

So sorry you (and your hair) going through this, Dee! I can't imagine having to try to manage my hair with one hand - let alone doing all the work with no tools other than the fingers of that one hand.

Hang in there! Still sending up prayers for a speedy recovery - yours and your hair's!

Dee, I kinda know how you feel. I broke my hand in 2011 and went natural shortly afterwards. I had to undo kinky twists (that I'd had in FAR too long) with one free hand and a thumb. It was interesting. It took me about a week to do it all (while hiding the undone parts in creative ways), but I got it done. I hope you get the hang of one-handed hair care!

,,,@DEE I got both arms and said bump it. Locked up again

. Sisterlocks installed last weekend. I won the battle of the combs in my house. Yey! lol! I dont know how you are doing it, but if I were near you in Aussie, I'd pull out my combs and brushes and lock you up-it would be perfect for you right now!

Been away for a minute, but I'm back, Pank and in for this challenage.
Combs hurt so I don't use them. Tried locking but it didn't work out so it is back to finger detangling.

Thanks for setting this up.

Aww Dee!
I know it was difficult. Still probably is...at that point I would probably had someone do my extensions or cut all my hair off. I am not all that patient. Since I have been doing this challenge for about a month or so I have notice less breakage and when I see hair in my hands it is more of my shed hair

. I do not know why I didn't do this a long time ago could of save my Lola. Oh well it is a learning experience. to make it easier to finger de-tangle I tried oil rinsing a bit and it helps

oh yea. Happy Lola =longer Lola

Gotta love this hair of mine... Now that I can start to use my hand in the shower, it took 3 sessions to pull all the shed hair out and I had no coil def after it, instead a big afro (that was OK but I want my chunky coils back) ---- I can't get my Tigi mouse anywhere locally so I tried using some Schwarzkopf Curl mousse... BIG MISTAKE. I ended up with so many dense tangles it took 2 sessions to get that mess out.

Soooo, now - even conditioner is a no-no. Makes my hair too soft and fluffy and my coils don't hold their shape. Until I can get my hands on my mousse again It's wash once a month, rinse every other day (depending on what I'm up to) and aloe gel. I may even twist up (without combing) and see how that works out.

Dee which mousse do you like from Tigi?

Can I still join the challenge?

I've been comb free for about a month now. I still used a soft brush on my edges only, but I think I'll quit that for this challenge. I had just bought a brand new Denman knockoff, but that'll have to wait too. lol.

Finger detangling after I take down my twists and so far losing WAY less hair than trying to detangle with a comb in the shower. And my drains thank me.
