Product Review: The Great Detangler by: Taliah Waajid's Black Earth Products

Ok, so I purchased this product from a natural hair show here in Arlington a couple months ago. I visited the Taliah Waajid booth because I swear by their Protective Mist Bodifier. They had a special 3 products for $10, so I purchased one of these to try it out.

Let me break it down

The Great Detangler Eliminates tangles on contact. Softens
hair, defines curl pattern. Stops breakage while combing
curly, kinky, coily and wavy hair. Hair Detangler is rich
with moisturizers, protein and conditioners.  Coats and
protects hair while softening.  For best results, use the
complete line of Black Earth Products.

Directions: 

Use on wet or dry hair. Separate a section of 

hair.  Apply a liberal amount of Hair Detangler.  Use
fingers to work the product through the hair to loosen the
tangles. Use a medium to large tooth comb. Start at the
ends of the hair.  Comb through up to the scalp and
through tangles. Style as desired.

Price: Around $8

So, I hadn't used this product yet, but this morning my hair was super dry and matted from a week old twistout. I honestly did not feel like washing my hair, so I sprayed it with water, sectioned my hair into 4 sections and applied the product one section at a time and detangled with my Denman brush.

Let me say that this was the easiest detangling session I have ever had. The product offered a lot of slip, but not so much that the product showed in my hair. The brush literally slid through my hair and untangled so easily (much better than the Suave Conditioner I usually use).

Even right now as I run my fingers through my hair, it is still untangled and VERY moisturized.

Recommendation:

Honestly, I would recommend this to anyone who has a hard time detangling their own or a child's hair. I would definitely spray with water or use this right after a wash. Also make sure to detangle from end-to-root, NOT root-to-end. That is the best way to create a tender scalp.

Hope this helps!!!
