3 Ways You Can Keep Tangles And Knots At Bay

If there is one thing most natural girls hate about their hair, it is tangles. Wouldn’t it just be lovely to be able to run your fingers through your hair without being stopped by traffic? Knots and tangles are no joke they can cause severe breakage and also leave your hairstyle looking tired and unattractive.

There are a few ways you can avoid tangles and knots most of which we plan to discuss in this post, the key is keeping your hair moisturized and most of all stretched. Here are 3 ways you can keep knots and tangles at bay:

1. Keep hair moisturized at all times

Having moisturized hair reduces friction, which is what causes tangles. Pick a moisturizer that also helps with frizz so that your hair can have a silkier feel to it. Find a hydrating leave in conditioner* that has a few emollients in it so that your hair can get moisture but you have some ingredients that lock in that moisture as well.

One thing we would suggest is to make sure that you hair is sectioned well before you add product. Sometimes we smooth the product over our hair but forget to add moisture in between the sections making sure all strands are coated with moisturizer. You want to decrease the tangles throughout your entire head, so spend the extra few seconds to make sure that you are moisturizing properly.

2. Do a final detangling session

After you have thoroughly moisturized your hair, run your detangling tool through the section one more time, this helps to further smooth your product in but it is a great way to remove all shed hair from your head as well. Shed hair can get wrapped around your hair causing some serious knots that you might have to cut out.

The best way to detangle your hair is to start detangling with your fingers first by gently separating the hair and removing any visible shed hair and gently untangle any knots that you encounter. Then, follow up with a wide tooth comb to remove and smooth all tangles, you can detangle a bit more with the denman brush or a medium sized comb if necessary.

Remember to work in small sections and detangle from the ends of your hair to the root being patient and making sure you do not break your hair, there is nothing worse than that popping sound you hear because you rushed through the process.
