Relaxed Hair: The Art of Detangling
Detangling is a crucial step in your hair care routine. Its primary goal is to prevent tangles and knots from forming. These tangles can occur 'naturally' due to the hair's texture or condition, or they can be caused by improper handling.
Good detangling makes hair easier to manage and helps prevent breakage.
The longer the stretching period, the more essential but also delicate detangling becomes, especially at the line of demarcation. Detangling should not be frequent but should be done occasionally, ideally just before shampooing to facilitate hair washing, and after shampooing to keep hair detangled, which will aid in maintenance.
Successful detangling also requires specific tools: wide-tooth combs, soft-bristle plastic brushes (like Tangle Teazer) are the most gentle tools for hair.
To further avoid damaging the hair, it is important to detangle on wet hair or completely dry hair.
Slightly dampening with a detangling spray (homemade or commercial) will be enough to optimize detangling.
It is important to start from the bottom, meaning the ends, gently and gradually work your way up to slide out any knots.
