Do you need to put the peppermint oil in?
Omggggg girl there’s a special place in heaven for you. I have the most thickest unmanageable 4c hair. And my build up is always so thick when I take out my braids. The apple cider vinegar mixture really saved me. It makes it so much more easier to take my braids out. THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️ Edit: I definitely recommend mixing the apple cider vinegar with water as the apple cider vinegar alone can be very irritating to the scalp. But it works well:)

YES, INDEED SHE DOES! I'm telling my relatives & friends to "subscribe" and thumbs up. I also asked them to click the "notify bell". EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! :-D
I can’t wait to use one of these recipes when I take my braids out soon. I wish I knew about you before because I have lost SO MUCH HAIR because of the matted hair!!! Thank you so so much!!!
This is one of the best and most accurate tutorials for maintain hair during the process of removing your box braids.
Thank you soo much for sharing these methods! I’ve been going about detangling wrong all these years and would always have SO much fallout. I gave the ACV method a try because I already had peppermint oil and knew ACV would be easy to find. This was so effective and easy to do that I am never going back to my old ways. LOVE that the peppermint oil helps dilute the smell of the ACV (I’ve never been a fan of the smell and thus have never just had this on-hand, but the water and peppermint oil did wonders for that aversion). THANK YOU for saving ya girl time and hair in the process
I LOVE to see folks still using WEN! I've never had a problem and still using it by the gallons.
I just did the acv recipe on my hair after taking out my knotless braids. Your blessing is in the mail hunty 🙌🏾🙌🏾.. I had less than half the shedding/ breakage I normally get!
GIRL THANK YOU!!! I have always ragged a brush through water soaked buildup and caused my scalp so much agony, but this video saved me today. I didn’t copy your mixtures (as I’d already made half an attempt at my usual method but to no avail), but I did have plenty of oils and leave in conditioner which I gently massaged over the roots and buildup! No one has ever taught me this, or anything actually with my hair journey, I’ve had to figure things through trial and error with my curls, but you saved the day!🎉 I just wished I watched this video 2 hours prior to jumping in the shower and pulling at my stressed hair😭 Thank you so much!!!
Very informative and I like that you showed each product so we can choose which we might like best. Also the tip of getting a towel, sometimes you're so anxious to get started and be done you forget the simple things, lol. Great video 👍
This will be my life saver. Can't wait to try it. I thanks for also explaining everything in a simplified manner.
OMG!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! Im using your acv method, right now. I had to stop and comment. The build up nearly disappears immediately. Will use this all the time!
Thank you!!! I just about to comb it out and I was like 'nah' I got lot of hair and I don't want it to break. Thank you so mu ch for saving my hair's life! :)
Thanks for this video. I used to never care about my hair since I’m 16 and always forced to braid it so (I know your gonna cringe) I detangle it dry with absolutely no product using a comb but now I see the damage it’s done and I’m gonna start using your methods to protect my hair.

Taking my braids down after quarantine. Last night I took out 3, and was a little bit rough combing out the build up, and my entire hair from the build up came out. At this rate, I’ll be bald 👨🏾🦲 if I keep going. Thank you for sharing. I didn’t think to unbraid all my hair and then spray.

Thank you SO much! I’m gonna go ahead and leave my daughter’s box braids in for another week. They still look fresh after two weeks. I usually keep them in a week and a half because I’m afraid of it matting. Last takedown was scary. 😨 Gonna try method 1 next week!
Yes I love it! Thank you for your input! Now I have several and safe ways to set angle my hair twists!
I just wanted to tell you that I freaking love you. I used the Aloe Vera and vegetable glycerine mix, and it's freaking amazing 😭 I left my crochet braids for 4 months....so can imagine how damn matted it was from build up ....but this mixture worked sooo well softening up the build up and helping me detangle! Thanks again❤

Thank you so much. I am new to the world of braids and had my braids in for more months longer than what was recommended. I had so much build up and was worried. I had the apple cider vinegar and peppermint oil already, so I tried that blend, and it worked fabulously. Thank you so much. Also, I added a little tea tree oil for some more love. Love the tingling sensation.
