Having a hair full of knots doesn’t just make you look like a mess but can also lead to damaged hair. The problem is that whether we like it or not, we’re bound to deal with them every once in a while, especially as your hair grows longer, because sun damage, heat, dust, pollution, chemicals, and hair habits can all cause tangling. Well there are ways to care for your long locks free of knots to make sure you get to flaunt it with pride all the time!
1. Conditioner Is Always A Must
If you’re gonna wash your hair, you should know that conditioning it afterwards is non-negotiable even if you’re using a really moisturizing shampoo! No matter how mild your shampoo is, it still strips your strands its natural oils which results to drying. When your hair is dry that really causes tangling and knotting. So always apply conditioner from the bottom half to the ends since that’s the part that needs a lot of repairing the most. Even better if you can let the product sit for at least 5 minutes to allow full absorption.
2. Know The Kind Of Brush That Lessens Knotting
I know brushing feels good, but if your hair is wet don’t do it! Get yourself a wide-tooth comb so you can detangle your hair and then just use the brush once it’s fully dry. Wet hair can be very fragile, so all the pulling that you subject it to when trying to comb over knots is not helping and causing more damage to the strands.
3. Select Styling Products Wisely
Styling your hair constantly can cause damage, especially if you combine hot tools and styling products filled with a lot of harsh chemicals. This then can lead to knotting, so if your lifestyle requires your hair to be done every day or simply like to do it, you should at least look for products that won’t further any damages as possible.
4. Use A Good Detangler
This is a must especially if you go to the beach often. Sea water can really sap the moisture out of your hair which results to tangles all the time. A good detangler can really clear knots of hair without causing any further damage than you would if you just use a brush. So you might want to invest in a good detangler brush and spray so you can enjoy the beach without compromising your hair.
5. Try To Keep Bleaching And Dyeing To A Minimum
Hair dye and bleach dries out your hair strands which results to frequent tangling! I understand that it’s fun to experiment on different looks but you can’t exactly have fun with your hair if it starts falling off due to damage. So try not to do it too often and if you plan on changing up your hair color, look for 100% natural color that doesn’t contain ammonia.
6. Soak Your Hair In A Good Hair Mask
Dry hair tends to form tangles therefore conditioning of hair is very important. There are many natural hair masks available in market and you can also make it at home.
