Certain hair types, especially long hair can tangle easy. These can be painful to remove if you are not doing it correctly. These tips will help you untangle hair with minimum pain.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Hair Conditioner
• Wide Tooth Comb
• Water

1. Wet your hair completely and saturate your hair with a high quality conditioner.

2. Using a wide tooth comb or your fingers to work out tangles. Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way to the top.

3. Once you think you have all of the tangles out, gently comb your hair from top to bottom. Don’t force the comb because this can break your hair.

4. Wash out the excess conditioner and style. If it’s going to be windy, you are going to be playing sports or some other hair tangling activity consider braiding your hair.

5. For tangles that are not so serious either buy a detangler. You can also make your own by diluting some conditioner in a spray bottle with water. Spray it onto your hair before combing. You can also use this on wet hair prior to combing.

6. Give your hair a weekly conditioning treatment to make it more manageable and less acceptable to getting tangles.

7. If all else fails use olive oil or baby oil to work the tangles out. However this is a drastic measure for extremely tangled and matted hair.
