Untwisting Two Strand Twists

[nellie]

I have been wearing two strand updos for the past month and a half.  I wash every other week.  When it comes time to take my twists out, I noticed the ends are really tangled.  Should I wet my hair with water and liberally apply leave in before untwisting.  I don't want to damage my already fragile ends.

HTH- oh and if your ends are tangling really bad- you should clip them and then baby them.

My ends always tangle in twists - because they are 'out' so to speak, since my hair isn't perfectly even, and the strands are able to move freely.

I just untangle the ends, first, then untwist the twist itself.

My ends used to tangle really badly when untwisting.  It was so bad, I would lose alot of hair.  Now when I twist, I don't comb or brush my hair through...I just smooth on product and twist.  When I unravel, the ends are smooth and untangled b/c the hairs are still clumped and undisturbed, rather than combed out, leaving room for tangles.  Hope that helps!

Jazzi - That makes a lot of sense...I'll have to try that.  Thanks!!
