I feel like my hair does not like me?

[BasicCurls]

I have been natural for two going on three years'. My hair shrinks and does not like to be detangled. My hair does not like protective styles at all (I do not braid my hair hair). What is a girl to do?

[DontDropIt]

I wish my hair could speak to me like that lmao

Not sure I understand what you mean by your hair not liking protective styling. Can you elaborate more on that? Why doesn't it like it?

When I braid my hair it hurts. I am not rough on my hair. Even detangling hurts. I use SheaMoisture for my hair since my hair can get dry very fast from other products.

That just means you're tender headed lol. That's very common. Have you tried doing twist outs instead? How do you usually detangle your hair? By your fingers or a comb? Vegetable glycerin and distilled water works wonders on keeping your hair moisturized! You should try it!

I have tried twist outs :/ i usually finger detangle from my ends to roots.

Ah I see. I use to finger detangle for about a year until I decided to switch it up. I think those big combs work much much better but that's just me. What do you use to detangle? Any products? If you aren't using anything that could contribute to it hurting. Leave in conditioner helps ease detangling if you aren't using it already.

Well then it seems to me that you're just tender headed that's all.

Massage your hair with coconut oil. Warm it up a little in microwave, not hot just a little warm and massage your head. It'll make it thicker and longer.
