Hair
Hair can become dry and damaged in more ways than one; Excessive use of hair dye, chemical treatment, continuous use of some hair products such as hairspray, etc. eventually leads to a change in the structure of the hair, and as a result of this change, the hair becomes more prone to breakage and the formation of knots, and despite that, there are several methods that can help. To solve these problems, untie the knots of hair, and re-renew its cells, and the following is a presentation of it.
How to undo hair knots
Detangle knots with conditioner
- Follow your hair washing routine, by using the appropriate shampoo for your hair, and avoid drying it with a dryer.
- Apply the conditioner that does not need to be washed on your wet hair, and when applying this conditioner, you must be careful to apply it from the roots to the ends.
- Prepare your own washable conditioner: This type of conditioner is very useful for making the hair softer and smoother, which makes the process of untangling knots easier. This conditioner also provides dry hair with more oils to moisturize it more, thus reducing the chance of knots forming in the hair.
- Gently massage the wash-out conditioner into your hair, starting from the back and then the front, making sure that the conditioner covers all of your hair strands completely.
- Leave the conditioner for five minutes before washing it, comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb, and avoid using the brush because it will cause knots to form more, and make sure to start from the tips of your hair and then from the roots.
- Keep combing your hair until you finish rinsing it out of the conditioner, then massage your hair with the leave-in conditioner.
- Dry your hair with a towel, by wrapping the hair using it for a few minutes, but without rubbing the hair with the towel, as this will lead to hair damage as a result of friction.
- Leave your hair to dry in the air, while combing the hair every ten to twenty minutes, leaving the hair to dry in the air naturally reduces the formation of knots and hair damage, but the combing should be gently so that the hair is not exposed to breakage.
Use of mineral oils
- Take a small amount of mineral oil, mix it with a little conditioner, and rub the mixture between the palms of your hands until the mixture becomes homogeneous, and be careful not to use too much oil so that your hair does not become greasy.
- Put the mixture on the knots in your hair, and use your fingers to rub it gently on the knots, and you must be careful when doing this step so as not to make the knots worse than before.
- Gently pull the comb through the knots, and start from the knots near the ends of the hair, because passing the comb from the roots of the hair will cause hair loss from the roots.
- Wash the oil off your hair using shampoo after you have finished untangling the knots, and be careful not to return the knots after you wash your hair, and put an amount of washable conditioner on your hair.
