Quick answer: detangle curly hair while damp, coated with a product that provides slip and divided into small sections. Start at the ends, move upward gradually and hold above the knot to reduce tension.
Why does curly hair tangle more?
Curves let strands catch on each other. Dry ends, nighttime friction, long-worn styles and wind increase knots. Rough handling can turn knots into breakage.
Step-by-step method
- After CurlyPlus Shampoo, gently remove excess water.
- Divide hair into four or more sections.
- Apply CurlyPlus Mask to lengths and ends.
- Undo large knots with your fingers.
- Use a wide-tooth comb from the ends upward.
- Rinse and continue with leave-in care.
Dry or wet?
Dry detangling often separates curls and creates more tension. Soaking wet hair without treatment can also be vulnerable. Damp hair coated in mask and handled gently is often a useful balance.
How can I reduce knots?
- Protect hair at night with smooth fabric.
- Gather lengths loosely.
- Distribute CurlyPlus Leave-In Mask evenly.
- Trim severely damaged ends if they continually catch.
