Detangling is the most crucial part of every hair care regimen. If you don’t know to correctly detangle your afro, you may face major issues while retaining your length. Knowing how to safely detangle your toughest knots and which hair products to use, will ensure that you are not just breaking your strands off. Learn how to master the art of detangling here!
1. Condition Your Damp Hair
Try wetting your hair thoroughly and then apply generous amount of hair products, like TCB Naturals Deep Penetrating Treatment on your damp tresses. This will create an ideal state for easy detangling. The water and the leave-in treatment will provide lubrication and loosen the grip of your toughest knots easily.
2. Detangle In Proper Sections
After your hair is damp and lubricated with hair products, divide it in 7-8 even sections. Detangling in sections will help you focus on one section at one time and reduce the stress on your strands and edges. You can use plastic hair clamps or even tuck-pins to secure your sections.
3. Use A Proper Hair Brush
Combs and brushes are great for detangling. We recommend using a wide toothed comb or a brush with hard and wide bristles and a rubber base. Invest in good quality combs, they will help reduce breakage and easily detangle your knots.
4. Finger Detangling
Detangling with your fingers before using your brush or a comb is great because you can pull apart major knots and tangles with your fingers itself. It is painless and saves you the hassle of brushing your ‘fro repeatedly in order to detangle it.
