What is tangled hair?

Entangled hair is a condition where the hair becomes tangled and difficult to untangle. This can happen due to several factors such as dry or frizzy hair, lack of brushing or combing, and use of inappropriate hair products. But with the right hair care, you can avoid tangles and keep your hair beautiful and healthy.

A good cure for tangled hair is to use a conditioner after shampooing, as this will soften the hair's structure and make it easier to detangle. Using a wide-toothed comb or a special brush for filtered hair, you can gently rescue the hair from the ends towards the roots without pulling it. This way you can easily style your braided hair painlessly every day without any problems.

What causes tangled hair?

Lack of brushing is one of the most common causes of tangled hair. If you don't brush your hair regularly, it can quickly become tangled and difficult to detangle. Use a good brush or comb to avoid this problem.

Regular brushing and use of care products can reduce the risk of tangled hair.

Too much heat and use of styling products such as curling irons or straighteners can also cause tangled hair. These products dry out the hair and make it more susceptible to filtration. Use a hair mask in your hair regularly with good care and moisturizing products and reduce the use of styling products in your daily routine to avoid filter hair.

Weather conditions such as wind, humidity or dry weather can also result in tangled hair, especially if you have long hair that is easily blown around in the wind or exposed to humidity/dry air in general. Putting your hair up in braids, buns or hats/other accessories can help reduce the chances of tangled locks in these circumstances. Are you missing some great hairstyles?
