Call me crazy but… the less I un-tangle my hair, the better. Brushing (no matter the brush) leads to frizz, and frizz makes major tangles. I usually brush it out in the shower while it’s full of conditioner, then rinse and don’t brush again ’till right before I shower. I also find I get less breakage this way, though I’m not sure why.

Oh, and the less your hair cuticle is messed up, the less it’ll tangle. Bad cuticle=velcro hair that just wants to attach to its neighbors and never separate. Try a protein conditioning treatment. A great, relatively cheap one is Giovanni’s NutraFix. Even with my crazy thick, medium-long hair, I only use about a golfball sized blob (normally, I’ll use two or three to really saturate my hair).

Hi Rachel,

I was terrified in that picture.

My hair usually takes *forever* to dry, too. I’ve been using this special microfiber towel and it makes a huge difference. It’s cut off a lot of drying time because it sucks the water right out.

that skink is pretty cute!

i have long hair that knots easily too. OMG, mine takes forever to dry as well. i second Sal’s tip with the brushing before or after and combing with the condish in the shower. that always helps.

Longer to wash, dry and style? hah! tell me abt it. I just lopped 20+inches off and it’s still halfway down my back. considering I never blowdry my hair, I used to walk around with damp hair for about half a day before it was dry lol.
FOr knots- I usually use a widetoothed comb while conditioning in the shower. Either that, or I brush my hair before washing- never after

p.s: Reptiles are awesome! I had a South American iguana some years ago, he was beautiful! Did you know they bite on the female’s neck when they mate? Maybe that explains the one in your dream….

Hi Rachael Williams,

Come to think of it, I have been popping the Zyrtec lately. I wonder if it’s related to all my weirdo dreams…
