Tangles can occur on both adult and children’s hair. Wavy, curly and long strands have the greatest tendency to tangle, although their occurrence should not be ruled out also on short and straight ones. With improper care, we can develop this problem. Learn about the most common causes of tangles and how to combat them.
Hair gets tangled and tangled when we lighten it incorrectly and straighten it too often.. If bleaching fails, we end up with dry, brittle and brittle strands. Their cuticles are more open than, for example, natural ones, so they have a greater tendency to form a mat.
Another reason for this troublesome problem is infrequent combing. We must comb them regularly and use the appropriate technique. We cannot tug at them or tear them out. We do it gently, centimeter by centimeter, starting not from the top, but from the bottom.
Sleeping with wet and loose hair can also cause tangles to form. Therefore, it is best to dry them with a hairdryer using a cool setting and tie them into a loose ponytail or braid overnight. We can also wear a silk bonnet.
In winter, hair is even more susceptible to tangling due to rubbing against hats and scarves. After removing the headgear, we often notice tangles.
Poor care is also the cause of tangling and matting of the strands. We’re talking about using drying products. It is best if we start using cosmetics that close the hair cuticles.

Proper combing of hair is also important. As mentioned, we do it gently and in batches. It is best to use natural bristle brushes, e.g. boar bristles, and a wooden comb with widely spaced teeth. Plastic ones can cause static electricity in hair.
However, if our strands do not get tangled or matted, we should still follow the most important care rules to avoid this troublesome problem. So let’s remember to take care of their hydration, hydration and regeneration. Only then will we avoid tangles and gain a sheet effect on our hair.
