Hair Styling Tools

Tangles in hair is always a problem, but it seems even more so for those of us who have long, thick, or curly hair.  Once you have washed your hair, applied your conditioner, there still seems to be a tangled mess. 

There are many methods one can use to detangle their hair, and there are also styling combs or detangling combs that can work as well.  There are also a few helpful hints to consider making the process of detangling your comb a successful one as well as to prevent them in the first place.

Before washing your hair be sure to brush through your hair thoroughly, or if you don’t use a brush use whatever tool you use to glide through your hair, i.e.  hair pik, etc. so that you can get any loose hairs  Remember that it is never good to brush through your hair when it is wet.  Doing this will damage the hair. 

When washing your hair, use a detangling haircare product or deep conditioner that has detangling ingredients after you have completed the shampoo.  Sometimes detangling haircare products are the type that you spray on after you have shampooed and conditioned your hair.  Shop around to find the right type for your particular hair type.  There are many options available and there is the right one for you The next step is to run your fingers through your hair to help to try and separate some of the tangled hair, however, be careful as to not yank or pull your fingers through to the point of tearing your hair.  This is when the wide tooth detangling comb comes into play.

Take one section of your hair at a time and with the wide tooth comb start combing in a downward motion through the section from the tip of the hair, working your way up to the roots of your hair.  If your hair is dry and wetting your hair is not an option, try rubbing a few drops of hair serum or shine serum  in your hands and then run your hands through your hair.  In most cases the serum will help you to dentangle your hair with a comb.
