I used to think detangling tools were a waste of time and money for my 4C hair. I also thought they could lead to more breakage at the ends. However, there is a step process. You must know how to correctly detangle your hair. Here is what I found works best for me!

1. Spray a section of your hair, apply product that has slip (leave in conditioner, pre poo, or detangling lotion)

FINGER DETANGLING is the best thing you can do. 💕 You are able to get those single stranded knots out.

2. Go in with a WIDE tooth comb , then tangle teezer (or tool of choice)
- never do BIG sections of hair! if you have thick 4C or tight coils...Small-medium

[We all have different hair textures..my hair is looser in the back so I can do bigger sections]

3. Twist that section away, and move to the next 💛. Make sure you detangle at the roots as well. We tend to miss this part and thats where your shed hair is trapped. If you skip combing there, then hair will get tangled in the shower..knots form at the ends. Then as you comb it out, you break off the length of your hair. Also it prevents hair from growing. This may be why you think your hair is "stuck" at a certain length.

---Feel free to take breaks in between of after you finish. Detangling hair can take up to 1-2 hours for me.----

Hope this helps 🌼🌳 Shalom!
