Why your hair tangles when taking down braids
Hair tangling when taking down braids can be due to:
1. Friction: Braids can cause hair to rub against each other, leading to tangles.
2. Dryness: Braids can dry out hair, especially if worn for an extended period, making it more prone to tangling.
3. Matting: Hair can mat together, especially if braids are worn tightly or for too long.
4. Knotting: Braids can cause hair to knot, especially if hair is fine or fragile.
5. Product buildup: Using too much product while braiding can lead to tangling when taking down the braids.
To minimize tangling:
1. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush when taking down braids.
2. Apply a leave-in conditioner or a detangling spray before taking down braids.
3. Gently work out tangles, starting from the ends and moving up.
4. Use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to gently blot out excess moisture.
5. Be patient, gentle and take your time when taking down braids to minimize tangling.
