I never had an issue with tangling in the first year of no poo cause my hair was so oily all the time! Be careful with the BS as you’re hair might be drier than you realize, that’s what makes it dry and easy to tangle. Moisturized hair usually doesn’t tangle too bad. I have almost waist length really thing hair. It gets really oily, till just past my ears, but the ends I usually have to rub castor oil in everyother day. When I was using shampoo which is 2 years ago now (wow, how time flies!), I had to wash almost everyday to keep the grease away. For the first year and half, water can’t wash the oil out. My hair was just too desperate for oil. It’s just in the last 6 months about that I can was with just hot water and my hair will look pretty good for maybe two days. My sister makes homemade soap with lye and tallow, and I use that on my crown sometimes. It’s really good as it cleans without stripping. I do use BS but only usually for special occasions where I need my hair to look really good (once a month or every three months). I’ve been really cautioned about BS, as apparently it can do damage itself. I live all the time on my farm so I keep my hair looking nice and done, but I can’t imagine having to be out in the world all the time and being no poo. I’ve learned how to handle it, and I can’t go back as shampoo was just as bad, actually worse than it is now. I will say that on no poo, it will NEVER feel quite like it does when you do use shampoo. It’ll always be a bit heavier, but you can have really good days too. And the volume is excellent! Let me know if you have any other questions. I went on this to try to decrease as I think we just have too much right now. But I also have 4 sisters and other friends who live here and they did it too. I probably would have quit sometimes if I wasn’t encouraged… But then I remember my hair wasn’t really any better with it!
Hope this helps,
