How to Detangle Kinky Curly Weave (video)

I've been documenting my experiences rocking a Kinky Curly Fro sew-in for the very first time. I quickly learned that detangling this hair was not for the fain of heart... it was time consuming and required a ton of patience. In hindsight, jumping into a kinky curly sew-in that was more high maintenance than my own hair was probably not the best idea, but you live and learn. I actually enjoyed the fullness and length of the hair (1 bundle in 12" and the other in 14"). Next time I'll probably opt for a 3b/3c hair instead of 4a/4b.

Kinky Curly Weave on Natural Hair (video)

I previously blogged about going to get my sew-in Thursday night, and it's mainly been feelings of love with one 'what the fuck' moment sprinkled in between. When I first looked in the mirror I realized 2 things: 1) This  is the most hair I've ever had in my entire life force existence... and 2) I can't even begin to fathom what detangling this will be like. Never the one to be conquered by anything, let alone a weave, I put my natural hair skills to use and managed to wrangle this mane within the first 48 hours of having it. I share the results of my sew-in, texture shots, and initial thoughts in the video below. Enjoy!

Sew-In using VABK Kinky Curly Fro (via @VAsBestKept)

Known on Instagram as "VABK", Ashley Robinson is a Richmond, VA hairstylist known for the popular Kinky Curly hair she promotes and sells. My girlfriend had been waiting a long time for her Heat Free Hair to arrive, so she opted to give VABK's Mongolian Kinky Curly Fro weave a try! I'm so happy she did because the results were amazing and I ordered some during a bundle special she had.

My VABK Kinky Curly weave finally made its way into my life force a few days ago, and I was full of anticipation to open it up. I shot a quick video showing the hair and my "before" to give folks an idea of what it's like prior to my install.

Initial Reactions:

Pros
1) The delivery was relatively quick. I think everything shipped out within 2 weeks.
2 The texture of the hair is probably 4a and looks amazing
3) The hair comes already washed

Cons
1) Packaging for hair is plastic bag and very generic
2) The lengths were not marked on each bundle
3) The wefts are not sealed



Sidebar: Can I just say that I run my mouth so fast when recoding videos, I NEVER get good YouTube stills lol

I will be getting my sew-in later tonight and will (of course) film a follow-up video showing the results, along with a few other videos to track the upkeep, durability, and overall experience with the hair.
