If you have naturally curly hair, then you’ve probably gone through tons of of trial and error when it comes to detangling your curls.  Since curly textured hair is fragile and easily damaged through improper handling, a good detangling plan is absolutely necessary for maintaining length and hair health.  The first step to developing your detangling plan is to identify the detangling products that work best for your hair.  While the market is saturated with an abundance of detangling products, we’ve listed our go to products that make it easier to get through the dreaded detangling process.
1. It’s a 10 “Miracle Leave In” – With this leave-in conditioner, a little goes a long way for completely detangling your hair.  We also love that it is high in protein, can double as a heat protectant and smells heavenly!

2. Taliah Waajid “The Great Detangler”–  This fabulous detangler completely detangles hair, softens hair and defines the curl pattern. It  is full of proteins and moisturizers so it also serves as a great leave-in conditioner and it smells fantastic.

3. Kinky-Curly “Knot Today” – This creamy herbal conditioner and detangler is designed to smooth the cuticle and remove knots, snarls and tangles from thick curly textured hair.  We love this product for it’s versatility as a detangler and a leave-in conditioner and because its alcohol, paraben and sulfate free!

4. BARGAIN BUY:  TRESemme Naturals “Nourishing Moisture Conditioner with Aloe Vera and Avocado” – At less than $6 for 25 oz, this super slippery conditioner is a great buy.  It helps your hair retain moisture and makes detangling a breeze.  If you’re on a budget, this conditioner is a must have in your product mix.

Word of Caution: Many detanglers are high in protein and moisturizers.  Protein is essential for hair, but too much can make hair hard, brittle and unmanageable. Moisture is also critical, but, again, too much can make hair too soft or limp and unable to hold a curl or style.  The right balance between moisture and protein is the key to healthy hair, but too much of one or the other can totally mess with your hair mojo!
