I have a daughter who has very thick, curly hair. As you can imagine, it is extremely difficult to de-tangle it once we wash. I have tried conditioners, de-tangling sprays, combing it under the shower while rinsing, but nothing seems to work as a long-term solution. Do you have any suggestions?

I know it sounds horrible, but use the detangling sprays and try to convince her to keep it in braids or some other kind of style that will lessen the amount of tangles she gets. OR...convince her that short hair is in and have it styled up in some cute shorter style so there's less hair to get tangled in the first place.

Thank you so much for the suggestions
I know that she'll probably be very sad if I had her hair cut shorter, but I the braids don't sound bad at all. I will go ahead and try that and see how it goes.

Use hair serum to detangle her hair, simply apply it after washing it and it should help.

If your daughter does like her hair long, then she can keep it tied up neatly like in a plait, and always comb here hair before washing it.

recently ironing method has been adopted in beauty parloures which may help in de-tangling the thick curly hair.

hi,
There are many methods for preventing hair tangles. However, once your hair does tangle, do not panic or pull at it as this will only make it worse. Keeping hair from tangling in the first place is a very important part of hair maintenance. Tangles can happen in many different ways--from rain storms, windy weather, and even after swimming.

Follow these tips on how to prevent and treat hair tangles.

1. Brush hair thoroughly before washing to get any loose hairs or dirt out. Hair tends to tangle on its own when hair is dry and wetting it can make it worse.
2. While hair is wet, use a wide-toothed comb and section hair off in small sections. To prevent knots, comb beginning at the ends and slowly move up, section by section, to the roots.
