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.
