When you take down braids, it's common for hair to become tangled. Here are a few reasons why this might happen:

1. Shed hair: While your hair is braided, it continues to shed naturally, but the shed hairs remain trapped within the braids. When you take down the braids, these shed hairs can become tangled with the rest of your hair, leading to knots and tangles.


2. Lack of moisture: Braids can sometimes cause dryness in the hair because they can prevent proper moisturization. Dry hair is more prone to tangling. Ensure you thoroughly moisturize your hair before and after braiding to help minimize tangles. Click Here for how to moisturize your hair while in braids.


3. Rough removal: If you're not gentle when removing your braids, you can inadvertently cause more tangles. Rushing or pulling too forcefully can lead to hair strands getting tangled or breaking off.

4. Long duration: The longer you keep your braids in, the more opportunity there is for hair to intertwine and create tangles. Braids that have been in for an extended period of time are more likely to result in tangled hair upon removal.

To minimize tangling when taking down your braids, try these tips:


1. Use a detangling product or conditioner: Apply a detangling product or a generous amount of conditioner to your hair before taking down the braids. This can help lubricate the strands and make them easier to separate. Click Here for a good Detangling conditioner.


2. Work in sections: Divide your hair into smaller sections and work on one section at a time. This helps to manage the process and reduces the chances of creating more tangles.


3. Be gentle: Take your time and be patient when removing the braids. Use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb to carefully unravel each braid, starting from the ends and working your way up.


4. Finger detangling: Consider using your fingers to gently separate and detangle your hair instead of relying solely on a comb or brush. This allows you to have more control and can help prevent excessive pulling or breakage.


By following these practices, you can minimize tangles and make the process of taking down your braids smoother and easier.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
