Do you struggle with detangling your natural black hair? If so, you are not alone. Detangling natural black hair is one of the challenges of maintaining natural hair. The best way to detangle natural hair is to do it when it is wet. When natural black hair is wet, you decrease the friction between the hair strands and the work of detangling is much much easier. You can detangle natural hair while you are washing it or in-between washes.
Here are three tips for detangling natural hair.
While your hair is wet, gently massage Northwest Scents Detangling and Cleansing Cream through each section of hair, and then comb through the section of hair (gently) using a wide tooth comb beginning at the ends, and working your way down to the roots. Rinse well, and repeat for each section of hair.
For best results, seal the moisture into your hair by applying Northwest Scents Hair Conditioner to each section. Gently comb the conditioner through each section of your hair using a wide tooth comb, and then let the conditioner sit in your hair for a few minutes to soften your hair and seal in moisture. Rinse your hair to remove excess conditioner, and let air dry, or gently blot dry with a towel.
To detangle natural hair in-between washes, you will need the following:
Work on the hair in sections. For each section, gently mist the hair with the spray bottle until it is damp. Then apply some hair conditioner to the hair. Then gently comb the hair using your wide tooth comb, beginning at the ends, and working your way down to the roots.
When you are finished, style the hair, and then blot the hair dry to remove excess conditioner and water. Let the hair dry, or use a blow dryer to dry the hair with hot air.
To maintain natural black hair in a detangled state in-between washes, you should loosely braid it each night before sleeping (if it isn't braided or locked). Also wear some sort of sleep cap to protect your hair at night. In addition, apply a small amount of hair oil frequently (daily or every other day) to your hair to help retain moisture in your hair in between washes.
