All Knotted Up - A Quick Fix
At times when blow drying, hair can get tangled in a brush. This can happen for a number of reasons bought on by either poor blow drying techniques, the brush you are using is too small for your hair length or your hair is severely dry & damaged. If you or your hairdresser encounters this problem, there is a simple, quick & pain free solution.
Switch your hair dryer to the “cold shot” setting (if your hair dryer has this feature) & gently pry your brush away from your tangled hair whilst blow drying it. Within seconds the hair will loosen from the brush. No mess, no fuss, that easy!
Here is a few useful prevention tips
Always use a slightly bigger brush than the one you are using. If you have been growing your hair, the same brush you use no longer applies, you need to buy a bigger brush.
Apply a grease free moisturizer & roughly dry hair to a damp-dry feel.
Your blow drying parting sections should be the same thickness as the diameter of your brush. Thicker sections will lead to tangles.
Work to getting your hair into good condition, if its dry & brittle avoid hot styling tools at all costs (click here to see why).
Use shampoos & conditioners with essential oils. These oils are the only oils capable of penetrating the cuticles of the hair, building strength within the hair & repairing it effectively.
Ensure that there are also protective oils in these products to maintain moisture of the hair that is being repaired.
Avoid all forms of mineral oils as these build up over time & draw out the natural moisture of the hair increasing further damage.
