Detangling Hair Made Easy!

Sometimes, detangling your hair requires more patience than you can afford. Especially, if your hair is curly or kinky, it takes a lot of effort to carefully detangle it. Dryness and brittleness- these are the main reasons why hair gets tangled.

Best Hair Care Tips After Washing

You cannot afford to be careless while detangling as it may damage your hair. You can use your hands or you can do it with the help of a comb, but if you are not patient enough, it may lead to hair breakage.

Usage of hair dyes, gels, sprays and some methods of hair processing can gradually damage your hair and leave it tangled. When your hair is dry, untangling becomes tougher.

Though knots in hair are inevitable, there are ways to prevent their occurrence. Trim the edges of your hair regularly. This can help prevent the formation of knots.

Also, when you shampoo your hair, do it carefully and mindfully. Some of us keep scrubbing the scalp and the hair carelessly as we tend to rush in the shower. Being careless during that time can tangle your hair too.
