5 Tips To Prevent Your Hair From Tangling
Does your hair get tangled often? If you’re wondering why this happens, it usually depends on a number of factors- including the texture of your hair, how healthy it is, how often you brush it etc. If your hair is dry, thick and not brushed frequently, it’s more likely to get tangled. Tangled hair isn’t just a pain to clear up, however. It can also severely damage your hair and scalp! While you can’t prevent this completely, here are some ways you can reduce tangling of hair:
Always apply conditioner
Never skip conditioner after you rinse out shampoo from your hair. Conditioner serves to restore and retain the moisture in your hair. By leaving the conditioner in for as long as possible, this makes your hair far more smoother and easier to brush.
Don’t brush when hair is wet
Brushing hair when wet is a lot more damaging than you may realize! By doing so you’re stretching out and weakening your hair- this can make you more prone to damage and tangles in the long term. We recommend air-drying your hair before setting a comb to those knots!
Use a wide-tooth comb
Your hairbrush can cause quite a bit of damage to your hair. Instead, you can opt for a wide-tooth comb, which are known to cause the least amount of damage and prevent knots from forming. We recommend working your way up from the bottom to the roots and doing so in sections.
Don’t sleep with your hair loose
Tossing and turning in your sleep with loose hair is a definite way to get your hair tangled. Ideally, you’d have your hair lightly braided or tied up in a loose bun before you go to sleep. You can also try investing in silk pillowcases, which are known to create less friction and lessen chances of tangles!
Try a hair mask
If you want to keep your hair looking and feeling extra healthy, you can try adding hair masks to your grooming routine, at least once a week or every other week! The results will leave your hair enjoying a boost in nutrients as well as looking more hydrated.
