You want to detangle type 4 hair without losing a butt-load of locs? Well, you gon' learn today. (Kevin Hart's dad voice)
Let's keep it real, we work TOO DANG HARD at growing hair to start tossing buckets of hair down the drain from a simple wash day detangling session. Bump all that...
So this BlackHairOMG spotlight is on a little-known YouTuber named Knarlei. She's going to show you some of the things she wishes that she knew about detangling her type-4 hair when she first started as a natural.
As you probably already know, proper detangling is key to keeping your hair healthy and happy.
Admittedly, type-4 hair can be more high-maintenance because it's so tightly-coiled that each strand just wants to hug each other which sounds cute but can be extremely annoying when you would like more OBEDIENCE from your strands, lol.
In the video below, Knarlei makes sure that you're using the right comb for detangling TRULY kinky hair, This is very important.
You also learn how to....
- Properly section your hair.
- Avoid a messy cleanup of hair afterward.
- Not wash your hair all "wild"
She definitely recommends that you use a long toothed comb because it just makes detangling so much faster, it cuts down a lot of extra time on wash day.
If you can't shorten your detangling session, you can make your wash day a lot shorter.

Aint Nobody Gettin' Scissor Happy Round These Parts!
One tip that I really liked is that she showed how to use your scissors in a smart hair-saving way. Some ladies might freak out at the thought of having a pair of scissors handy, but don't trip, you're not going to be cutting all your
hair off.
She wouldn't fix her face to suggest that, ha. She wants to keep her luscious on her head and she shows you the correct method as well.
She simply shows you how to cut what NEEDS TO BE CUT to keep the wash day moving along without losing alot of quality hair.
The Unnecessary Controversy
Y'all already know, no matter what anybody does, says or is. The slick comments are coming regardless.
So even though this video is PACKED with cool tips and the sista is super-pleasant and helpful. Some women were upset that she claims to have 4c hair in the video. Laaaawd help us....
Look, she definitely has type 4 hair, on top of that, most of us have different hair types on our heads. I didn't like that some ladies tried to discredit her information by assuming that Knarlei.
Whether she is or not. The video is a great help for type-4 hair detangling in general. Let's love up on each other in positivity y'all. Go subscribe to her channel and tell her BlackHairOMG sent you! Love you!
