- Conditioner: Conditioners moisturize and add slip to the hair strands for easy separation.
- Detangling Mist: You can buy a detangling mist and apply it along the length of the hair to gently detangle it with your fingers in the shower.
- Wide-Toothed Comb: Brush your hair with a wide-toothed comb, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots. This helps detangle lumps of knotted hair easily without breakage.
- Tangle Teezer: Tangle Teezers have short and thin bristles that help detangle finer tangles in curly hair. Work from the bottom up to reduce hair breakage. Be very gentle. Apply more conditioner to add slip to your hair.
- Oil: Apply coconut oil, argan oil, almond oil, or olive oil to your damp hair to help your curls retain moisture and shine. The oil will also prevent future hair knots.
