Why this worksCold weather and indoor heating can lead to dryness and tangles in your hair. This makes it essential to use the right techniques to prevent breakage while detangling. By using moisture and gentle methods, you can restore your hair's manageability and shine as spring approaches.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with Dry Hair Before getting your hair wet, try detangling it while it's dry. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently work through knots, starting from the ends and moving up to the roots.
  2. Apply a Moisturising Conditioner Use a rich, moisturising conditioner to hydrate your hair. Apply it generously, focusing on the most tangled areas. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften the hair before detangling.
  3. Use the Right Tools Opt for a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush designed for wet hair. These tools can help minimize breakage and make the detangling process smoother.
  4. Detangle in Sections Divide your hair into manageable sections. Work through each section one at a time to ensure you’re not overwhelmed and that you’re gently addressing all tangles.
  5. Finish with a Leave-In Conditioner After detangling, apply a leave-in conditioner to keep your hair hydrated and manageable. This will help prevent future tangles as you transition into spring.

Where people go wrong

Many people start detangling on wet hair without any product, which can lead to breakage. Others may rush through the process, creating more tangles. Always remember to work from the ends towards the roots for the best results.

The pro moveConsider using a spray detangler for added slip and moisture during the process.
