FIVE EASY TIPS FOR DETANGLING CURLY HAIR

When it comes to curly hair, getting tangles out isn’t so simple. Here, we’ve compiled a list of 5 quick tips for curly tangled hair and ways to stop those naughty knots before they become a problem. 

Tip 1. Hop in the shower 

Brushing through dry curls can ruin their shape. If you’re having a particularly tangled day and have time for a shower, brush your hair out dry first, and then do your normal shampoo, condition, treatment routine. Incorporate our 3 Minute Miracle Curls Detangling Deep Conditioner to detangle hair fast with up to 90% less hair breakage*. While it may be an extra step in your routine, it is effective.   

*vs. non-conditioning

 

Tip 2. Spot-treat 

If you don’t have time for an impromptu shower (which is most of us), and you only have a few tangles, brush out each tangle individually, and then spritz with water. This will help the curl regain its shape without the need for a full wash.

 

Tip 3. Get to the root of the problem 

If you’re dealing with constant tangles, it might be time to adjust your lifestyle. Just a little though. If you’re waking up with tangled hair, try a silk pillowcase or loosely braid your hair at night. If your hair gets tangled after walking to work or school, cover it up with a hood or gently tie it back. If your hair starts snagging as soon as you pick up the blow dryer, opt for an air dry. Little changes can make a big difference to how our hair looks and feels.  

Tip 4. Prep with products 

Dry hair tends to snag and tangle more than hydrated hair, so try a deep conditioning treatment 1-2 times a week on your strands. Also, get a good leave-in detangling treatment to use on damp hair, like Miracle Curls Leave-in Detangling Milk to help keep those gnarly knots at bay.  

Tip 5. Try a trim

Split ends and damaged strands tend to tangle more than healthy hair does, so make sure you’re getting your hair trimmed at least every few months – even if you’re growing it out.

You can’t go wrong with products that were created for unique waves, curls, and coils in mind. For more product information, visit our website!
