Single-Strand Knots - Don't Pull Them!

When I first heard of single-strand knots, I didn't know what they were. Of course, it was some kind of knot, but didn't things get "knotted" when tangling? Wouldn't there need to be 2, like at least 2 strands to tangle? The answer is no, knots can happen all on their own.

As we all know, if you don't detangle your hair properly, your hair will get tangled and frizzy because you're not smoothing the cuticle. You would also know to detangle your hair by starting at the ends of your hair (where most of the tangles are) and working your way up. In the same respect, single strand knots are always at the ends. You will feel the knot with your fingers.

Here is a close-up of what the single-strand knot looks like:

And a word of caution, please don't use your nails to pull at the knot (like I did) assuming it will only take the end. It will grab your whole hair strand right out of the root. The knot is pretty strong, see below!

Instead, please grab your trimming scissors and snip right above the knot. The Search & Destroy Method!

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)
