You and your comb both have a common enemy; your irritating hair knots. Although it seems like a relatively simple problem, it has serious implications. Do you have any clue how much hair you lose during hair combing if its all knotty? Definitely more than you are supposed to. It is normal to lose 100 hair strands everyday, anything substantially more than that is hair loss because it cannot be easily replenished.

Here are a few tips to get rid of hair knots but to do so you need to know their cause. Every special condition has its own remedy.

Tips To Get Rid Of Hair Knots:

• If your hair is otherwise healthy and the knots are just a painful problems then the solutions will all be externals. Mostly people with curly hair have more knots because of the texture of their hair. The best way to combat this problem is start hair combing from the bottom.

• Most of the stubborn knots are down below in your hair so if you concentrate on the most difficult areas first then it gets easier going up. Moreover, you will not be pushing the knots down as you comb from above.

• Oiling your hair is one of the best ways to have tangle free hair. When you oil your hair, the knots slip out on their own. When you take a proper oil message, comb out all the knots from your hair and keep it tied up until you wash it.

• Hair is the weakest when it is wet so never comb it when it is dripping wet. But if you finish off hair combing while the hair is semi dry it might save you a lot of knots; remember to be gentle and not put any undue pressure on your scalp.

• Dry hair is one of the main reasons for knots in the hair. Only when your hair lacks nourishment and becomes ragged will it stick in clumps. You need to concentrate on the core problem, getting rid of the dryness with natural remedies like hot oil massage or herbs like henna, etc.

• Split ends are an postlude to dry hair and it is these broken, unhealthy hair strands that get matted and form the worst knots. If your hair has become that unhealthy at the tips then it is best to trim it because despite all the promises that shampoo commercials make, fixing split ends is near impossible.

• Wind or air are the the worst culprits for knots in hair. So keep your hair tied up while traveling. The hot air that comes out of your blow dryer is also 'wind'. So always comb your hair (at least preliminarily) before blow drying. Try to avoid blow drying regularly because it makes your hair dry and dryness leads to knots.
