My knots...

I have dreads all over my head after not combing my hair or brushing it for 90 days.  It will take me close to a week to get all of the loose. 

I use to comb them out in 2 days using iol water and conditioner by the end of that my head and my arms would be hurting plus not to mention all the hair loss by combing them out.

Now il take my time and do a few knots every day or so no rush as l realize my hair is coming out of a dormant state it has not been handled for a while.  Harsh treatment at this point will only break off my ends.  I slowly take my time while wearing my hair up or down till all my tangles are gone.

I was little pass shoulder length in this picture.


These are some products I used though I dont promote product usage but they assist you on this journey.  Any type of Hair Cream and Oil will work... Moisture is the key...

These pictures below are of my hair while I was taking the braids down, it was a knotty mess for real... It took me several days to get out as it takes me about two weeks to Braid.  




Below is some styles I wore my hair in, I found a new job and needed to be on interviews so I needed a style that was acceptable at work. I used braids and twist on top and left the braids in the back.




 Braided Bun Style... 


Had to go out for to a Concert this was how I wore my hair.


How I wore my hair to work...


  One of my deep conditioning days I did this twice a week.



A work day style... last all week too...


same day just a front view...



At the Pool Club relaxing... this was two days after my let down from the braids my hair is a tangle mess too... but you can see it.

 Ok... so here is what I did, I basically kept my hair wet every day with spray bottle of water and hair conditioner.  I did a deep condition with the products you see here 2x a week on Wed and Sun of every week without fail.  I clipped my ends once a month, I wrapped my hair in plastic if it was not in a plastic bun every night.  I steam bath on a daily basis but only let it down for 2 days a week.  I kept my ends up unless I was going out and needed to be dressed or something then I wore it down or loose braids.

I slowly removed my tangles day by day, it took me over a week to do this so for like 2 weeks I wore my hair in tangles pulled back.  Currently my hair is braided in larger braids I will post below and I will leave this style for a week.  I will keep large braids like this until September.  I am thinking of starting another Challenge soon though.
