This finger detangling WORKS! ive been struggling with breakage and tools snipping and snagging my hair. After finger detangling my whole head, I lost hair the size of my THUMB PRINT... LITERALLY!!!🥳 I also tried your deep conditioning before shampooing and I think I'm ready to go on my journey to 6 inches. I love you Laila!!
Can we just appreciate the beauty radiating from this beautiful queen. Laila you have come such a long way! I have been watching you since 2012 and thanks to your videos I am now waist length. Blessings 😇🙏🏾 The impact this has had on me and so many others is amazing. You are truly an inspiration. Stay strong 💪
I'm glad you emphasized dry detangling first before going in with water and conditioner. Wetting my hair without doing so makes getting knots out nearly impossible so I end up cutting more ends than necessary. Love the song too!
I’ve recently started finger detangling and it’s not as time-consuming as I thought. I find it quite relaxing and I like that it makes me literally take a seat and care for my strands. Thanks for this detailed video! Stay well. Blessings...
I can't begin to explain how important your videos are to me. I have been natural for 8 years and every second year I have had to big chop because my hair has always been so dry. I thought I just had bad hair, little did I know that I did not know how to properly moisturizer my hair. Until I started watching your videos 2 years ago and for the first time I have soft moist hair. 😁😁😍😍 You are an excellent teacher. I love your content. I'm all the way in South Africa and I can clearly relate to you videos. We don't even have the same hair texture but your advise worked for me. Your awesome 💕🙏
I can so relate to this as well. I thought my hair was bad ans considered chopping it all off and wearing it low. turns out I just wasnt moisturizing properly. Im happy you found something thats works for you. best of luck on your hair journey.
This was soooooooooo helpful! I’m hoping that embracing this process will get me past arm pit length. I’ve been stuck there about a year now. You’re amazing THANK YOU! 💜💜💜💜
I've definitely been doing it all wrong🤦♀️ And no wonder it takes me so long. I think your techniques are really gonna make finger detangling a lot faster for me. I ended up adding a tangle teezer to my detangling sessions because finger detangling alone just took way too long. But I'll give your way a try and see what happens. Thank you so much for tips! ❤️
I finally had to surrender and throw out my comb. I'll admit, I don't like finger detangling, but it works and it saves your hair from breakage. Thank you so much for this video.
I think it's also important to note what your hairstylist uses because as much as you may baby your hair, they could rip off all your growth in 2 seconds. I usually try to entertain myself during the process, and I don't pay much attention, but the last time, I noticed hair flying, looked up and saw the reason for my hair stagnancy. With each section, she uses that tiny tooth comb to tear out all my progress! I will not be going back.
Don't be afraid to tell them they're using the wrong tools. I always turn and say girl use the wide tooth comb and hold my roots. You always work from wider to smaller tools
@@Jayariee I've done that before but I've noticed for some reason the hair stylists I've come across don't really work with wide tooth combs and asking them to use my hair tools slows down the process so much as they're used to combing (or ripping lol) hair a certain way 🤦🏾♀️
@@avasd59 I think their only concern is that you still have hair on your head to grip, and the style comes out looking good. Most of them usually don't care if it's growing or not.
Great video ❤️ I’ve found that finger detangling has helped my fine 3c/4a hair retain length and reduce breakage. I use wide tooth combs here and there but mostly finger detangle
It’s wash day & lost my wide tooth comb that I usually use to thoroughly detangle so I have to finger detangle the whole time so thank you sm for this video
I've been using a paddle brush, and quite roughly. I've been experiencing breakage at the crown. Hoping finger detangling reduces the issue and being more gentle.
This was definitely helpful. I really want to get back into finger detangling I tried it for a few months and it did get easier with time but still took so long. I also felt like it helps with length retention. But didn’t feel like my hair was thoroughly detailed especially at the roots. Am I over detangling trying to make sure every single tangle is out?
True its a great way to get in touch with your hair. So utilizing this option at times is cool. Yet with a worthy detangling product, and the use of the correct tools. You can easily detangle well. Which won't cause any strain or damage to your hair, and save so much time, and stress in the process.
Thank you Laila! This was helpful. My biggest issue with finger detangling that it was difficult to get my roots. Does anyone have tips for detangling matted roots without a brush? Thank you!
My go to style is the wash n go so I do get detangle twice a week and I do it after my hair has been deep conditioned. But I do go through my hair lightly as I shampoo.
Very good. I want to try this as my hair is breaking out. Tried downloading your guide and unable to do so. Please send me the link for it via a reply to this comment. Thanks!
Focus on your roots as you're detangling. Make sure you are gently breaking the hair apart in that area (if it's tangled ot matted) and work your way down. It's not difficult.
This didn't work out for me . I figured it's just that my fingers can only do so much, I'd end up snapping knots instead of the gliding through them. So I tried more gliding actions but then I realized I was spending more time going over each strand which meant more contact/friction on my hair . At the end of the day the material of the comb wasn't that bad and size/shape seemed better for my hair.
Finger detangling works really well with medium or course strands. I have fine strands so initially I finger detangle on dry hair then use a flexi brush and gently detangle under water with conditioner.
Nice video I actually came to youtube today to look for a knots video and i saw this i was excited, but i have a problem i dont even use comb at all since God knows, but today i washed my hair as usual and finger detangle but there was knots not at the root but like the middle of my hair, would i cut that one off too, i have a low porosity hair also, i am tired u think i would just cut my hair i tried everything even my husband is complaining, that i have used all the oils in the house for hair care🤣🤣the knots is overwhelming ☹️☹️i need your help, maybe that is why my hair is not growing
Thank you so much for sharing. I am trying to create a new regimen. How long is your complete wash day? Also, how long does it take to pre poo? I feel like I can get caught up and take much longer than needed
Try Aloe Rose Detangling Spray (www.princessdgifts.com). I use it to moisturize and detangle. I also put my hair in two big Bantu knots every night to keep my hair stretched, which also helps with detangling.
@@Missd_34 oh okay thank you and since then I found some products that do a great job in dematting it in the morning one product is the d e u x & carol's Daughter 4 in 1 combing creme both from Target they both will work very well. I use a metal afro pick and a detangling brush the small flat kind not the Denman brush but I do have a Denman brush to that I use sometimes as part of my hair tools. And thank you so much for the bantu knot tips too🙂🙂🙂
I just stumbled upon your channel. I'm transitioning. You are such a gem. I know this is totally irrelevant, but where are your earrings from? Really love them
I want to try finger detangling to see if I retain more length but idk how my scalp will get stimulated if I don’t use a brush. Do you ever find trouble stimulating your scalp?
Try to keep you hair stretched. Like African threading, twists, braids. It should reduce the singles strand knots. Also try to keep you hair in twists when washing , conditioning or in between deal with you hair to prevent you strands from intertwining. These cause single strand knots. I had loads before then I started ensuring my hair stays stretch. The are still some but have reduced. Hope this helps
I appreciate the fact that you are posting more consistently.

Finger detangling definitely gets easier with time and practice.. I didn't like it but it works..
Please how do you do the roots I don't seem to get my root untangled
@@eunicekayode30 use a wide tooth comb to help there..
@@GaelNMusic thank you
@@GaelNMusic that's not finger detangling..
i used to as well but then noticed how little shedding i had with it and i was like woah.
My gf used salon gloves when she finger detangles and it makes this process easier. The gloves adds a little slip
Thanks for the trip!

I need to learn how to stop ripping and popping my knots🥺🥺🥺
Love seeing this step by step. You are the one who inspired me to finger detangle and lessen my use of tools
Aw, thanks soo much. I hope this has been helpful 🥰
My favorite UA-cam channel..its been years sis.....I losted the channel for a while.. Happy I found you.
Welcome back home!!!!!
This was soooooooooo helpful! I’m hoping that embracing this process will get me past arm pit length. I’ve been stuck there about a year now. You’re amazing THANK YOU! 💜💜💜💜
I wish to be at armpit length
I’m stuck at arm pit length too! And everytime I get growth I have to trim it again because my hair is so tangle prone😔
@@kendrac8885 look into chebe.powder
@@naturalhairkhronicles5790 Oh no that causes my hair to shed! Better use fenegreek and moringa.
I'm at waist length and this helped

Before I even watch the video, girl that thumbnail is STUNNING like the volume 😍😍
That is an EXCELLENT point!

😊Thank you for this video. It’s extremely helpful. I’m finger detangling my daughter’s hair but need to be more consistent. Stay blessed....
Thank you for watching 😊
My tangles are wilding and I stay neglecting my hair and finger detangling helps Only to a certain degree
wow i clicked and subscribe one time. Beautiful hair!
Black girl long hair - yes!!!
Yes co-signing! Love finger detangling
I use a combination of it and my Felicia Leatherwood brush + I use exam gloves
I’m gonna have to try this bc the amount of hair that came out is crazy

What conditioner do you use to finger detangle? And what other products do you use on your hair Laila? I'd love to see a video on it 😌
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been finger detangling for awhile now, but I will definitely be incorporating some of your tips. 😊
But the time, the time it takes sis! *cries in dense and kinky*
Thank you Laila! This was helpful. My biggest issue with finger detangling that it was difficult to get my roots. Does anyone have tips for detangling matted roots without a brush? Thank you!
Spritz acv/water mix on the roots, massage it in and the tangles will loosen
@jk9084 ok that's a good idea never taught of using acv with water
My go to style is the wash n go so I do get detangle twice a week and I do it after my hair has been deep conditioned. But I do go through my hair lightly as I shampoo.

Hi Leila😍..thank you so much for this video...love ya❤❤
Much needed....quite interesting and very helpful....
Thank you Laila 😘😘😘
Omg yeaaaaassss I was expecting this so so soooooo much
Great video, thank you for sharing your techniques. I will definitely be implementing them into my own regimen.
Great video! I think I'll try the thumb and glide method. That one was new to me.
Yeah i mainly finger detangle during my hair wash days
You tips are always helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing Laila!!! MUAH 😘 I loved your guide oh so much 💙❤️💙❤️
Thank you !!🥰
I tried this but I feel like at the roots I'm not getting the hair untagled the best & all that uncombed hair is going to build up in the long run.
Focus on your roots as you're detangling. Make sure you are gently breaking the hair apart in that area (if it's tangled ot matted) and work your way down. It's not difficult.
Can you do an updated wash day/ wash n go routine?
This didn't work out for me . I figured it's just that my fingers can only do so much, I'd end up snapping knots instead of the gliding through them. So I tried more gliding actions but then I realized I was spending more time going over each strand which meant more contact/friction on my hair .

But can fingers get through all the tangles in the hair
Love this ❤️
Thank you !
thanks for the tip to cut, because i definitely ripped.
How long does it take you to detangle your hair?
So helpful!! 💙💛
Thank you!
Thank You!!!!!!!! Exactly what i needed at the moment. Side note love the song choice.😍😍😍👏👏👏
Once I got the hang of finger detangling all those fancy schmancy brushes and combs I bought are just collecting dust!
Was that a leave in conditioner?
Where did you get the bottle you use to spraying water on your hair?? I need it please.. thanks..
Me too.
I want a everyday *MORNING* dematting, easy, simple routine for EVERYDAY, to keep it stretched

It's a e-book I think
Yes, its an ebook
I want to try finger detangling to see if I retain more length but idk how my scalp will get stimulated if I don’t use a brush. Do you ever find trouble stimulating your scalp?
Stimulate your scalp when you shampoo... you can also give yourself a scalp massage whenever
Hey Laila... With finger detangling, does this mean no more combing ever? Like you personally don't use combs on your hair again?
THIS VIDEO IS KEY! Anyone who practically applies this will get inches!!
Do you think it would be as effective with latex gloves? 🤔 cos I find that the texture of your hands can cause snagging too.
What’s the name of song that’s playing while she’s detangling?
ua-cam.com/video/ufR57vgMB-o/v-deo.html
FusionofCultures - What type of shampoo & conditioner do you use in your hair?
I can put my hair like this style lol
Tell me how to get rid of single strand knots. I just cut last week and they’re back! It’s so frustrating
Mommy Marine I feel your pain. That’s a huge problem for me too 😭

temi oladejo I do all of that except threading. I think the one time I was lazy really screwed me.
Ca'Lia Harris oooowww I love grease on my hair
Great video!! On average, how long does it take you to detangle your whole head in this first step?
Hi gorgeous I am a natural too! I just hit the bell I have a channel also lets connect have a spectacular day!
I don’t think I can finger detangle my hair is TOO thick to do this and I don’t want to break my fingers 😂😂😂😂
Whew! When my nails are chipped when finger detangling , it def hurts LMAO
ErmMm I hope my 4c hair will allow me to finger detangle Tommorow 😂😂😂😅
Jesus bless
