Expert Advice How to do a Heart Braid! How to Detangle Hair How to Prevent Tangles Facts about Lice How do you know if your child is ready for their first haircut? First Haircut Tips How to Detangle Hair A child's hair is completely uncompromised. It has never been colored, permed or processed and that makes it finer than adults and more prone to knotting. Detangling can be a real challenge if you don't know how and can cause both you and your child aggravation. Conditioning is not the solution – a good hair detangler is! It's best if you get the supplies you'll need ready ahead of time. You will need: a wide tooth comb, a clip, and a good leave in conditioner spray (we recommend Biolage leave in hair conditioner, which we sell in the salon). If you're working with a younger child, it helps if the they have a toy to play with or something fun to watch on tv while detangling. You can work with either wet or dry strands. To start, section off the bottom portion of locks and pin the rest on top using your clip. Spray each section with a leave in conditioner spray or a detangler from root to tip. Once you've sprayed the section, hold it firmly and work on the bottom. Working from the bottom, take small sections at a time and work from the tips to crown, using the wide tooth comb. This technique enables you to hold the hair with your other hand to prevent tugging and causing pain. As you work your way up, adjust your hold. Once you've finished a section, unpin the rest and pull down a new section. If you find you're not able to brush through a worked section, re-work it from bottom to top. How to Prevent Tangles In the shower, use a liberal amount of moisturizing conditioner. While it is still in and evenly distributed, use your wide tooth comb to work through hair. This will increase manageability with tangles if done on a regular basis. For really curly locks or stubborn knots, Girls with long hair should sleep with a very loose braid to prevent tangles.
