    GlossaryHair Matting (Matted Hair)

    occurs when hair strands intertwine into tight knots

    Hair matting, also known as matted hair, occurs when individual hair strands become intertwined and form tight knots or tangles. This can result from various factors such as lack of regular brushing, excessive friction, or exposure to harsh chemicals. For professionals, it's important to note that severe matting can lead to hair breakage, scalp irritation, and may require specialized detangling techniques or even cutting to resolve.
