how to detangle severely matted hair without cutting
Hello Hand unit, can you give me some advice on how to detangle seriously matted hair without cutting it?
Of course! Start by applying a good detangling spray or hair oil to damp, clean hair. This makes it easier to work through the tangles.
Sounds good, thanks. But what if the tangles are really tight?
For severely matted hair, it's best to use a wide-tooth comb or a hair detangling brush. Always start detangling from the ends of your hair, and gradually work your way up to the roots. It will prevent hair breakage and causing more knots as you go.
Is there a specific technique I should use when brushing?
Yes. Always use gentle, downward strokes. If you come across a particularly stubborn knot, don't pull or tug. Instead, be patient and keep working at it gently. If necessary, apply more detangler or oil.
And what about afterwards? How can I prevent my hair from matting in the future?
Keeping your hair moisturized is key to preventing future tangles. Regular conditioning and application of hair oils can help keep the hair smooth and easy to manage. Also, consider braiding your hair or tying it up in a loose bun or ponytail when sleeping to prevent tangles.
