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. 

Single Strand Knots

I know you all have either heard of or experienced them throughout this hair journey.

Those were one of my biggest fears about being fully natural, but to my pleasant surprise, I have not seen/felt/found not one single strand knot in my hair.

I believe it has a lot to do with my hair care practices and because of my thick/coarse strands. But mostly because of my hair care practices which I will highlight in this post.

So, what is a SSK? It’s basically what the above picture illustrates. When a strand of hair tangles within itself forming a knot in the hair. Us kinky, curly, coily girls are very prone to them. There are some ways you can avoid them, but for some, they can be inevitable. I do not believe  SSK’s can make or break your hair’s health and length goals. But having a BUNCH of them can cause some issues.

Here are some tips to minimize them.
