Tips and Tricks | Cosmetology School Lee’s SummitHow To Properly Detangle Your Beachside Strands

What’s worse than summertime sadness? Tangled beachside tresses. All it takes is one dip in the ocean without a proper hair care routine to create an unmanageable mess! Our stylists at the Z Hair Academy cosmetology school in Lee’s Summit, Kansas, understand how delicate your hair can be and have detailed how to properly detangle your hair for a healthy and shining look. Learn more below!

Invest in a Detangling Tool

The most important step in establishing a proper detangling routine is investing in a tool specifically designed for detangling purposes. Because tail combs and other small-tooth combs have been known to cause severe hair damage, it is best practice to use a paddle brush or wide-tooth comb when detangling your hair because they are much gentler. If you prefer, you can also opt for a Wet Brush, specifically designed to reduce pain and breakage associated with detangling wet hair!

Use a Leave-In Conditioner

Instead of diving right in with your paddle brush, our stylists at the Z Hair Academy Cosmetology School in Lee’s Summit recommend using a leave-in conditioner or detangling spray before brushing your strands. Adding outside moisture can help ensure your coils stay hydrated and avoid becoming dull and dry. And wait, that’s not even the best part. The slip-inducing product will help your brush smoothly glide across your hair pain-free. You heard that right—pain-free!

Start at the Ends

While it may seem odd, you should always start at the ends when detangling your hair! Your natural inclination may lead you to start combing from the root to the ends, but we encourage you to start with the ends and work in sections upward to prevent damage caused by unnecessary pulling of the root. Additionally, it’s best to work in sections to create as pain-free a process as possible. Not only will dividing your hair into smaller sections make it more manageable to work with, but it will help maximize your natural curl pattern and definition.
