Don't let detangling your hair stress you out!

Detangling your hair should be gentle and smooth. You do not want to tug or pull at your hair. Doing this can rip and tear your hair, creating breakage and splits ends. It is important to know how to detangle your hair with minimum breakage and ease. Please keep reading to learn how.

Detangling, especially on wet hair should be done gently. Hair is more “stretchy” while wet, and more likely to break. If you have very curly hair, you must be very careful to gently untangle in order to prevent breakage.

To get the best results, purchase a detangling or wide tooth comb from a beauty supply store.  These combs are meant to glide through hair with minimum tugging and should make the process faster.

Start from the ends of your hair and then work up the length of your hair, gently loosening any tangles. Starting at the ends, as opposed to starting at your roots, prevents tugging and pulling.

If needed, you can use a leave in conditioner or a similar product to help ease detangling. I hope that you find this information helpful!
