2. 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
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.

4. Brush From the Bottom
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.
