You always wanted to have shiny, soft, damage free and beautiful hair,but you are thinking of how to keep your hair damage free.Well, damages to the hair can be in any form. One such thing that can prevent hair from damage is the way it is detangled, whether its dry or wet. Read on to know how to detangle your hair without causing any damage.

Detangling dry hair without damage:

  1. Smooth out any frizz or flyaways. Take a small amount of any hair oil of your choice or a hair serum in your hand.Rub it in between your hands. Start applying to the hair from mid length to the tips.
  2. Start making small partitions in your hair and clip each partition separately. Do not use any comb yet.
  3. Detangle the knots. Take the first partition of hair and use your fingers to start detangling the hair slowly. Use your thumb and first finger to work between your hair knots. Press the thumb between your hair and start working your way out through the length of your hair, parting the knots all the way gently with your other finger. Use the fingers of both the hands to help detangle the knots or catch the hair with one hand and work you knots with other hand.( which ever method makes you more comfortable)
    • Occasionally you can use your other fingers to pull heavy knotted hairs.
    • Work your way from the bottom of the hair up towards the root of the hair. This cause less pain to the scalp and less damage to the hair.
  4. Take a comb or hair brush having large gapped bristles and brush the part of the hair you have detangled using your fingers. Again clip it separately.
  5. Continue doing the above steps for the rest of the other hair partitions.
  6. Remove all the clips and brush through the hair softly without pulling sharply.

Detangling wet hair without damage:

  1. Pre-shampoo.
    • Take a small amount of hair oil or serum in your hand.
    • Start applying from mid length to the hair tips.
    • This smooths frizzy hair and protects the  entire hair and hair tips from drying and damage.
    • You can even untangle some small knots with your fingers before shampooing. This cause less damage to hair while washing and gives a smooth result.
  2. Use a less toxic shampoo to wash the hair. Use soft and smooth movements to wash the hair. Try not to make knots while washing your hair. This will help you cause less tangling. More lather producing shampoo or more toxic shampoo can cause porous hair and cause more damage.
  3. Use a light conditioner. Start applying from mid length to the hair tips.Applying condition to the scalp might dry your scalp or even rip the hair off the scalp.
    • If your hair is naturally dry use a leave in conditioner, which may cause less damage.
    • If your hair is naturally oily or greasy use a conditioner to wash off the oiliness.
  4. Pat the hair dry with a soft hair towel. Do not twist or wring the hair between the towel. This may break the hair and even cause more hairfall.
  5. Detangle the knots.
    • Make small portions in your hair and start detangling slowly using your fingers.
    • Use your thumb and first finger to remove small knots.
    • Since the hair is wet , take extra care not to pull or thug on the knot too much , as you will end up pulling the hair from its root.
    • Use all your fingers and run them through the hair to find out if you have any more knots left to detangle.
    • Do not use comb to brush wet hair.
  6. For more painless detangling, catch your hair with one hand near the roots and start to untangle with your other hand slowly.
  7. Continue the same with the other sections of hair.
  8. Let your hair dry naturally or if in a hurry blow dry using less heat.
  9. Now use a large gapped bristle comb or brush to smooth the hair slowly without pulling sharply.
