First, I'll help you uncover some of the causes of hair tangles, then you'll learn how to remove hair tangles, and finally what prevents tangles for tangle-free hair .
Hair Tangles
Hair tangles are basically when your hair is not lying neatly against each other but instead mixed up all over the place. Tangles can appear as hair that's knotted around each other or hair that's matted due to lack of combing.
Causes of Hair Tangles
Learning tangled hair solutions requires that you understand the causes of hair tangles in the first place.
Hair tangles are causes by not combing your hair regularly, washing with your hair piled on your head, letting the wind blow your hair all over, sleeping without hair protection and not using moisturizing, detangling hair products.
Fortunately, there are many things you can to do remove tangles should this happen to you occasionally or regularly.
Remove Tangles
If you want to remove tangles with the least amount of hair loss, you must have patience and the right tools.
- If your hair is tangly while wet, you should take a wide-tooth comb and detangle your hair under the shower head.
- For additional detangling, apply hair conditioner and detangle under the shower head. Detangling under the shower head is
probably the most effective of all tangled hair solutions.
- If your hair is already dry and you endure some tangles from wind or sleeping, take some hair serum and apply it to your hair. Then gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb
section by section. Always remove tangles section by section.
- If
you tangle your hair while combing or brushing, don't yank the comb or
brush from your hair. Instead, carefully remove each individual hair
strand by strand from the tool. Don't try to reverse the direction of
the comb or brush. This typically just causes more tangles.
- If your hair is tangly due to using hair spray or other styling products, wet your hair first and detangle under the shower head. Detangling under the shower-head works for almost any type of hair tangles!
Prevent Tangles
Preventing hair tangles from occurring initially is the best tangled hair solution, hands-down!
- You
can prevent hair tangles by being careful when you style your hair.
Take your time and don't back comb or do any flipping your head over
especially if you have long hair.
- Don't allow your hair to be free if you live in a windy climate. The wind will just blow your hair all over the place!
- Use a moisturizing conditioner and always comb the conditioner through. Let the conditioner sit for a while before rinsing.
- Use a detangling, leave-in conditioner before you begin to style your hair. Remember to apply it and comb it through in sections.
- Before
going to bed, always detangle your hair and apply a light moisturizer.
Remember to pin you hair up (or roll it or wrap it). Wear a satin scarf
or sleep on a satin pillowcase. Check out this article on bed time care of hair.
- Keep your hair moisturized. Dry hair is more prone to tangles.
- Keep your hair trimmed. Split ends
and breakage can cause more tangles to occur as the rough cuticle catch
on to each other. I am sure you have noticed that after you get a trim,
your hair is so much easier to manage. This is one of the reasons for
that.
- Wash and condition your regularly. Dirt and
styling products accumulating on your hair can lead to tangles. Keep
your hair clean and it will stay detangled.
- Finally, you can prevent hair tangles by wearing your hair up. Funny that wearing your hair up can be the solution for so many things. But wearing your hair up can prevent tangled from wind, sleeping, exercising, etc.
