It sounds like some or most get tangles in their hair now and then. Some often. Luckely I don't ever get any.
What about you? How common is this?

I only get tangles when I comb dry. Now that I've gone natural, I only comb when wet with conditioner, and the tangles fall right out.

The back of my hair, at the nape of my neck, *always* tangles up. Its not as bad tho, since I went shampooless. But it still happens.

mine is mostly if i use too much styling product..or if i'm out in the wind too much. and it's basically that top patch in the back...but if i use a leave in? and not too much product? no problem!

I have tangles all the time. I comb my hair and within minutes it will tangle again. I comb twice a day so they at least don't pile up.

I get a lot of tangles, mostly on the back in the nape area too. I also get those little knots in one strand of hair, those are bad cause they cause the hair to break.

Since doing the CG routine, tangles are a thing of the past!

24/7 It's usually just small ones, but lots of them. The stylists always mention them too. I think they are surprised, because my hair looks rather soft, but then when they start to rinse it out they notice them. But yeah, they're much better than before I started CG.

I have very tangle prone hair and usually conditioner doesn't get all of them out.

Your hair, it's everywhere. Screaming infidelities, taking its wear.

Yes, your hair looks so soft and shiny that it is rather surprising. I know you often mention having problems with them though.

supertangly hair.

my old stylist told me that it was a symptom of my hair's texture - superfine hair is prone to it.

love yourself first

I don't get many tangles now that I sleep on satin pillowcases and condition my hair regularly/keep it well-moisturized. When I got them before, it was mostly in the back/nape area like others have posted.

So, I voted in the middle category.

Yep, I sleep on the satin pillowcase and wear my hair up in a pineapple at night, you name it - I do it. But I guess I have to accept that I will never be completely tangle-free. Sure, if I took a wide-toothed comb through my hair while I've got conditioner in it, or finger comb through it, then I will 'temporarily' be detangled. But that only lasts a few minutes, and I really don't want to disturb my curls with all that combing. But again, it is soooo much better since I've been doing CG. I don't even want to remember how it was before, because it was something awful.

I said "very often" because without condioner, my hair would not stand a chance. Even with condish, if my hair is loose, I will get slight tangles at the ends. I am hoping that will improve when it gets longer and I decide to do better (length) trims.

I don't get tangles either. I used to get them when my hair was long (BSL), but now that it is short and layered, I never get them.

No more tangles since starting CG and using the satin pillowcases. The cases really help. I bought one to start, but I would slip off of it in the middle of the night and wound up sleeping on my mattress so I bought a second one!!
