Prepare your hair well before detangling

It all starts with washing. A gentle shampoo and conditioner formulated for children will make styling easier. Leaving the conditioner on for a few minutes helps relax the hair fiber and make tangles less resistant. After rinsing, there's no need to rub vigorously with a towel: simply pat dry to avoid damaging the hair. You can then let it dry naturally or, if necessary, use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to preserve the softness of your hair.

Once your hair is clean and slightly damp, it is best to apply a detangling spray specifically for children to make combing easier. A wide-toothed comb like ourOpaline comb, is perfect for untying knots without pulling, while asoft detangling brushwill be able to complement the action smoothly.

Adopt the right steps for gentle detangling

The secret to successful detanglingIt's all about the method. It's always best to divide your hair into small sections and work your way through. Detangling starts at the ends, before gently moving up to the roots. This technique prevents knots from concentrating and limits breakage. The most stubborn knots can be gently undone by hand before brushing or combing.

To keep hair supple and prevent re-tangling, a leave-in treatment or light oil applied to the lengths can make all the difference. And to prevent nighttime tangles, a simple loose braid or satin bonnet at bedtime will keep hair smooth and manageable in the morning.
