Q) Could you please tell me a way to untangle my hair?
I have a real problem with tangles in my hair and they're driving me nuts! I feel like chopping off my hair!
Professional Hair Care Tips - Don't do that! There are few problems with tangles that can’t be solved quickly and easily with a few products. When your hair tangles a lot, be sure to only brush wet hair. Hair is most susceptible to breakage when its wet. If you want to get the tangles out in the shower, then use a wide toothed comb instead.
If you like to comb it out after the shower, here's what to do:
Always work on combing your hair out from the bottom up. Comb out the ends first, the middle section next, then work your way up to the top of your hair. You can separate the hair into sections and work on one section at a time, until all sections are thoroughly combed through. Then combine all sections and comb though it again. If you're gentle about it, brushing is also OK, but it really depends on which brush you use.
When you have a problem with tangles, I suggest you use a conditioner, like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle or any other conditioner that advertises its 'detangle-ablility'. (Any product that has 'silk' on the label like Biosilk Silk Therapy works well too.) Just don't rinse conditioner's out all the way in the shower. This also helps to protect the hair.
These type of detanglers are great to take with you when you go to the swim in the summer. (pools, ocean, lakes, streams...) I just take my bottle of detangler with me. When you get out of the water, spray some on your hair and comb it right out! Each time I go back in swimming, the tangles will come right out afterwards.
