How to prevent your hair from tangling
The setting
If you’re anything like us, detangling hair is a whole routine. So we’ve learned to make it something to look forward to instead of dreading it. Some tips:
Take a deep breath
Put your fave tunes on or a movie in the background
Grab a glass your fave beverage
Prop up an e-book and read while you detangle
This sounds silly, but if you distract yourself with some of your favorite activities, you will be a lot more patient, stress-free, and gentle when detangling your hair.
The Method
Always split your hair into manageable sections. We recommend splitting it into four parts—two top parts, and two bottom parts, and working with one section at a time.
Always use your fingers first to gently detangle as much as you can from bottom to top. This is the most gentle method to reduce the size of the knot considerably.
Then, follow by a wide tooth comb from the bottom up. You can also use a special detangling brush, but we recommend to only use ones where the bristles are flexible and soft.
That’s it—once all the knots are detangled, you’re good to go!
Other Helpful Tips
Don’t shower with tangles. Not only can this be painful and make the tangles worse, but detangling wet hair makes it much more prone to breakage.
Tie your hair in a braid or a ponytail on windy days or when being active to avoid those pesky tangles.
Use leave in conditioner if you feel your hair is still dry after the shower for extra moisture and smoothness.
