3. Find The Right Tool
Everyone’s hair is different. Each texture requires different tools and products. Figuring out which tool is best for you will help you on your way to easy detangling! Denman brushes, wide toothed combs, or even tangle teezer brushes; these are all options for detangling. My personal favorite is the tangle teezer. It glides right through my tangled strands. Once you have found what tool works for you, stick to it. No need to rush out and go buy the newest trend. Just stick to what works! The best way to detangle is from tip to root. This alleviates a lot of breakage. Work your comb/brush from tip to root in a delicate fashion being mindful not to force your tool through tangles and knots.
4. Spray Away
If you are taking down braids in order to prepare for a much needed wash, try spraying detangler spray on the hair as you go. This will help give the hair slippage, and allow for you to detangle you hair easier. My favorite is Mane n’ Tail Detangler.
