4 Tips For Detangling Natural Hair

african american woman natural hairGrowing out your natural hair can be one heck of a journey, but the results are beautiful! I think that the absolute worst part about the journey is the DETANGLING! Detangling your curls can be a headache (literally), and as the hair gets longer, it just becomes more and more of a hassle. Here are four tips that will cut your detangling time in half!

1. Section your hair.

The funny thing about curly hair is that it loves to clump together and intertwine itself with other hairs. This is the absolute most counterproductive part about detangling your natural tresses. The best way to battle this is by sectioning your hair.

For shorter hair, you can do two to three sections. If you have long hair like me, you will need to detangle it in four to six sections.

The smaller the section the better! You should put each section into a two-strand twist. This helps you manage your sections, gives you easier access to maneuver through your head, and prevents the hair that you worked so diligently to detangle from re-tangling.

2. Use conditioner.

Let me introduce you to my natural hair’s best friend. Ladies, I cannot stress this to you enough. Get some cheap conditioner and have it on hand at ALL times on hair-wash days.

The conditioner gives your hair slippage so that you can comb through the hair easier without ripping and breaking the strands. For me, the Suave Naturals line of conditioners works best for detangling, and the best part is the bottle costs $1-$2.

Do not skimp on this conditioner and no worries – you aren’t being wasteful. The more the better. This is why it’s great that it’s so CHEAP! Replacing this product costs next to nothing.

3. Get the proper tools.

Everyone’s strands are different. Although experts have tried to come up with ways to categorize the “types” of curls there are, I have come to realize that there is still a lot of gray area in these categories.
