Okay, we know you’ve probably read a lot of articles about detangling before and let’s be frank, it’s not a topic we’ve shied away from either. But it’s a really important part of your haircare routine, which is why you're here and we’re here, trying to make sure that you kickoff the new year with a solid understanding of ‘why’ it’s important to detangle your hair thoroughly, and ‘how’ to do it.
First, let’s briefly discuss why detangling is important shall we? Detangling prevents matting, reduces breakage, and helps your hair maintain its natural shine and elasticity. Incorporating MPL products into your routine makes this process smoother and sets the foundation for healthy, thriving hair.
Here are MPL's secrets to turning your detangling woes into wins:
1. Prep Your Hair Before You Detangle
Detangling dry hair is asking for breakage. Always start with damp hair. If you’re not washing your hair, mist it with MPL Sure2Gro Fermented Rice Water to soften the strands and make them pliable. This lightweight spray is packed with nutrients that add moisture and slip to reduce tangles.
2. Use Products That Provide Slip
The key to easy detangling is using a product with great slip. MPL Charcoal Conditioner is your best friend here. Its smooth, hydrating formula allows your comb or fingers to glide through stubborn knots without unnecessary tension or breakage.
3. Work in Sections
Divide your hair into manageable sections before you start. Four to eight sections work best, depending on your hair's density and length. Clip each section away and work on one at a time. This keeps things organized and prevents you from feeling overwhelmed.
4. Use the Right Tools
Say goodbye to fine-tooth combs and embrace wide-tooth combs or detangling brushes designed for textured hair. These tools minimise pulling and distribute tension evenly across the strand, reducing the risk of snapping. Remember to start from the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots.
5. Be Gentle and Patient
Your hair is at its most fragile when wet or damp. Take your time and let your tools and products do the work. Tugging and rushing will only lead to breakage and damage.
6. Seal the Deal
After detangling, lock in moisture to keep your strands hydrated and happy. MPL Black Castor Oil is perfect for sealing your hair and adding a layer of protection against dryness and tangling. A little goes a long way!
With MPL products in hand, detangling no longer has to be dreaded.Do you have any other tips you’d like to share with the community? Let us know.
