Removing Buildup to Prevent Matting and Tangling with Long-Term Protective Styles

Here is a quick video showing how I remove the buildup from my hair after taking down a long term hairstyle, such as box braids, kinky twists, and senegalese twists.

For braids that have too much buildup I pull the strands one by one while the hair is saturated in conditioner. For the rest I go through in sections with my penman as demonstrated above.
