No, our dear naive straight-haired sisters, our curls aren’t due to neglect. We’re born with it and are tremendously proud of it. We do agree that by nature, they do tend to get knotted pretty quickly In comparison, but if you know the correct way of going about it, the process of detangling is an absolute piece of cake. Simply run your fingers through your curls after you apply conditioner. The slip of the conditioner, coupled with the flow of the water is enough to rid your curls of all knots. What we use is African Pride Moisture Miracle Honey, Chocolate & Coconut Oil Conditioner. What we love about it is its blend of honey, chocolate and coconut oil that work in tandem to moisturize your curls while giving it the slip it needs to take care of all your knotty problems.
