how to detangle without getting breakage

Hey Guys!

Today I just wanted to share with you some tips on how to properly detangle your hair without getting breakage. 

When I first went natural, I didn't know how to properly detangle my hair, I would just rake the comb through until all the tangles were gone and most of my hair was left in the comb or brush. 

Once I finally started taking the time to detangle my hair, my hair was so much more manageable, and I didn't have any breakage which resulted in hair loss. 

Detangling On Wet Hair-

Most of the time I am detangling on wet hair, because I have just finished washing it, but you can do what ever works for you. 

I start off by sectioning my hair into about 4-8 sections, the more sections the quicker it is to detangle.

Once that is sectioned off I apply some more water to my hair using my spray bottle, and then I go in with my deep conditioner, making sure that my hair is fully coated. Once coated I start to slowly finger detangle my hair, and when ever I come across lots of tangles or knots I add more water and more conditioner to help slip the tangles right out. 

Detangling On Dry Hair-

When I am detangling on dry hair, I pretty much do the same thing. I make sure that the section of hair that I am working on is saturated with water and the I start to detangle. Normally I just use plain water, with nothing else on my dry hair, but if I notice it is a bit dryer then I will add some conditioner to it. 

Important Tips To Remember:

• NEVER detangle on dry hair, at least make sure you are putting water on it.
• Always put your hair in sections, it makes detangling a lot smoother and faster.
• Try to avoid using any tools. Your fingers work the best! By using your fingers you can actually feel where the tangles and knots are. 
• Take your time. Rushing through this process is just going to cause breakage, which in return leads to lots of unnecessary hair loss. 
• Be gentle. If you decide to use a comb or brush, just make sure that you're taking your time, and using conditioner or water as needed.
