How to detangle hair and prevent the problem

Having tangled hair can be a big problem. The formation of knots in the hair makes it difficult to comb the hair and hinders the trim. The seemingly simple problem can actually get in the way of everyday life, as the simple activity of combing hair becomes difficult, time consuming, and often unable to fulfill its function of straightening the hair and leaving a nice trim.

Dryness is the major cause of tangled threads. The hair becomes dry due to the opening of the hair fiber scales, which can occur due to several factors such as chemical treatments, dry weather and salt water exposure, among others. With the hair fiber scales open, the strands tend to coil and knot, causing the tangled appearance. The type of texture of the hair can also contribute to dryness and, consequently, to tangled hair.
