How to Detangle Natural Hair

 Step 1

 

Part hair into sections. Use a wide toothed, zig zag or parting comb to divide the hair into at least four sections. Secure each section with a hairband or hair clip. Leave at least one section untied so that you can begin detangling it. Get more details how to detangle

 

Step 2

 

Fill a clean and empty spray bottle with water, vegetable glycerine and a natural oil like sunflower or olive oil. Alternatively fill the bottle with water and conditioner. Shake the mixture well before applying it liberally to your hair.. Then take a very small section of damp or wet hair, t the root to avoid pulling or breakage and then begin detangling from the ends of the hair upwards. Be gentle as excess pulling may cause breakage and pain. Starting from the ends of the hair and gently comb, gradually work upwards until you reach near the root of your hair.

 

Step 3

 

Once you've detangled a section of hair, repeat the process until a full quarter of your hair has been detangled. Then, plait or twist this section so that does not become mixed up with the tangled hair. Repeat the detangling process until you have completed the whole head.

 

Tips: Avoid combing your hair when it is dry as this will cause excess breakage and damage such as split ends.

 

If you are finding the detangling process hard, work on very small sections of hair. You can also try applying olive, sunflower or coconut oil to the knotted hair as these oils help to seal in moisture and because they are slippery, will make it easier to comb out knots and tangles.
