      That is so unfortunate that Black women are craving to wear hair imported from a Chinese sweat shop and sold to women who have the best hair on Earth. Stop this mess and watch your hair grow down to your shoulders by braiding your own hair and letting it grow. You should see my hair. I am 65 years old with natural braids and women with weaves are stopping me in Walmart asking how did I do this.

    I know you might've unbraided it all at once for the purpose of the video, but to avoid more breakage, try taking your hair out only 1-2 braids at a time and then applying your detangling mixture to those sections. It would cut out the extra step of having to resection your hair while its dry and tangled. I was always scared to leave my hair in braids for more than a month-month and a half. Seeing you get through it so easily makes me feel better about trying it.

    A WOMEN'S HAIR IS HER GLORY! How can you not wash it. Black women have the best natural hair of all the races of hair in the world. We can braids it, corn row, wear an afro, press and curl it, or wear a perm, all without damaging our hair. How did anybody stand to get close to your head not being washed for four months.
