How to detangle hair and not die trying
- Brush before washing. Hair is more fragile when wet, so better get rid of knots before getting into the water. Do it with a wide-toothed comb to facilitate the task and always from the ends towards the roots, never in the opposite direction.
- Detangling spray. It is the easiest and fastest way to load the knots. By spraying a little on the hair before (or after) washing, everything is solved! You can also make your own by mixing apple cider vinegar with water or aloe vera gel with jojoba oil.
- Use a mask and conditioner. Having well-hydrated hair is key to making the styling process easier. Put on a mask after washing and / or a leave- in conditioner from medium to ends.
- Wash back . Nothing to mix all the hair on the top of the head and roll you to rub. You have to let the hair fall back and wash it as is.
- Dry without rubbing. It is best to place the towel as a turban for about five minutes and then pat dry.
- Be careful with the dryer. Do not dry your hair uncontrollably, you should put the dryer down and comb with your fingers or a separate bristle brush so that it does not tangle.
