5 Ways To Detangle Your Hair Without Destroying It

Your hair should look shiny, well-styled, and fantastic at all times. It makes you feel fantastic and confident too. While movie stars never appear to suffer from a bad hair day, we mortals do. The wind, rain, and many other factors conspire to tire your hair.

The good news is that you can detangle your hair without destroying it. Here are 5 easy steps.


1. Use plenty of conditioners.

The first step in detangling your hair is to reduce the tightness of your knots. 

You must choose a quality detangling shampoo and conditioner, such as the ones in this Kevin Murphy range. The shampoo will ensure your hair is clean. Leaving the conditioner in place won’t just nourish your hair. It will help to loosen knots.

That will make it easier to eliminate them and make your hair look fantastic.

 


2. Use wide-toothed combs.

After washing, you need to dab your hair and let it air dry if possible. Wet hair is more easily damaged than dry hair.

You can then slide a wide-toothed comb through your hair gently. It will identify the knots and gradually remove them. It may take several strokes, but it works. Just keep the pressure gentle.

3. Fingers work well in detangling your hair.

If your wide-toothed comb isn’t getting the knots out, your fingers are there to the rescue. 

Gently run your fingers through your hair, and you’ll find the knots start to fall out.

Don’t forget it’s best to hold your hair above the knot when you’re trying to pull the knots out. This will reduce the stress on your roots.

Fingers are great to use first, and then move on to the wide-toothed comb or a detangling hairbrush to eliminate the last of the knot.

4. Brush from the bottom to detangle your hair without destroying it.

To reduce the stress on your scalp and help alleviate any knots, you should always start brushing from the bottom. Start a few inches from the bottom and brush downward. It will make it easier to remove any knots.



5. Never force a knot.

The key to successfully detangling your hair is not to damage it in the process. All you have to do is be gentle and hold your hair above the knot you’re trying to get out.

This prevents the hair from pulling on the roots, potentially pulling the follicles out. 

It’s normal to lose between 50-100 hair a day, but you don’t want to lose any more than you have to!

Never Force A Knot

In a perfect world, you won’t need to detangle your hair. But the reality is that no matter how hard you try to protect your hair, it will get knots. The good news is that you can detangle your hair without destroying it. So you look fantastic. Always.
