How to Detangle Straight Hair: Tips for Smooth Strands

We recommend detangling your straight hair when dry as your hair is more fragile when wet. Take these steps for gentle and easy detangling:

1 Detangling Product Or Oil

This step is optional but highly recommended if your hair is very tangled. A detangling product or oil adds an extra slip to your hair making it easier to work through knots and causing less breakage.

2 Detangling Tool

The best tool to detangle with is your fingers as you can feel when your hair is about to snap. Otherwise, you can use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush with flexible bristles.

3 Work From The Bottom Up

Divide your hair into sections and gently detangle each section from the ends and up. We recommend starting with your fingers or the wide-tooth comb to detangle any stubborn knots, then gliding over with a detangling brush afterward.

Remember that whenever you brush your hair breakage will happen, so try to minimize brushing in general.
