Brush Hair Before Every Wash

Combing your hair before you wash can really reduce the amount of hair tangled and hair fall. You can use a soft-bristle brush to gently tangle your hair before shampooing. You can apply avocado oil or coconut oil before combing the hair. Take an adequate amount of oil on the fingers and then fold your fingers into the tangled hair & apply it. After an hour you can follow the gentle hair wash with a shampoo.

Always Condition After Shampooing

Conditioner smoothens & softens your hair and removes dryness away from your hairs. It also restores moisture in your hair making it less tangled. So, don't forget to condition your hair after a hair wash.

Take a required amount of conditioner and gently massage it on your hairs, particularly pay attention to your hair ends. After 2-3 minutes use a wide-tooth comb to tangle your hair gently and softly. Now wash it off. This will definitely help you prevent tangled hairs.

Always Rinse With Cold Water

Always wash your hair with cold water. Because hot water can open hair cuticles which can increase hair tangling and dryness to your hair. So make sure that you wash your hair with cold/normal water only.

Gently Drying Your Hair

Rubbing your hair dry with a rough towel isnt the best idea either. Never rub or wipe wet hair instantly after hair wash because it can cause an extreme hair fall and breakage. Rubbing your hair with a towel will wipe your hair dry. Now wipe the wet hair by slowly pressing it with a towel, this way hair water can easily absorb into the towel. After drying the hair, start to unravel the hair slowly with a wide-tooth comb.

Seal Your Hair Ends

After conditioning, try to lock your hair and hair ends with serum. This will help avoid snarls as it keeps your ends from twisting around. There are many serums available in the market which works extremely well on hair making it less tangled.

Use Wind Protection

Always wear a hat or scarf while travelling because the wind can blow your hair dry and will tangle your hair badly. Tie your hair or make a bun to keep it from getting tangled with one another.

Apply Hair Masks

Applying a hair mask will restore moisture and improve your hair texture quality. It also hydrates and smooths your hair. A hair mask just for 30 minutes will significantly improve the condition of your hair. A hair mask can restore nutrients, shininess and maintain the silkiness of your hair.

Avoid Using Heat Styling Tools

Avoid using heat hair styling tools such as curling irons, flat irons, tongs or blow dryers, they strip your hair and make them dry and dull. Heating tools can break down the hydrogen bonds of your hair and strip away your hair natural oils and proteins.

Care For Your Hair While Sleeping

Do you know that your hair can get tangled while you're asleep? Cotton pillowcases can cause snarling while you sleep. Therefore try to use a smooth silk or cotton pillowcase. Try to wrap your hair in a soft silk or satin scarf before bed. This will keep your hair from getting tangled and will prevent knots.
