Glossary Detangling

process of removing knots and tangles from hair

Detangling refers to the process of removing knots and tangles from hair to make it smooth and manageable. This is typically done using a wide-tooth comb, detangling brush, or fingers, often with the aid of a conditioner or detangling spray to reduce friction and minimize hair breakage. For professionals, understanding the hair's texture and condition is crucial to selecting the appropriate tools and products to ensure effective and gentle detangling.
