It is important to get all the shed hair out of your hair before washing. It is possible that your shed hair will cause even more tangling, matting, and lots of breakage. You definitely do not want that.
2). Best to use fingers than a hair tool
It is best to use your fingers before using a hair tool to detangle your hair. Using hair tools for detangling can cause even more damage. Using your fingers will allow you to feel the tangles to easily take out the shed hair.3). Detangle on damp hair (never dry and never wet)
This is great to do during a pre poo treatment or a hot oil treatment. The slip in the hair will allow the shed hair to slide right out without any breakage. If you hair is dry during detangling, your shed hair could create friction and even more tangles that the ones you began with. | |

- Spreads the natural oils of the hair to increase hair luster
- Promotes blood circulation in the scalp for healthy hair growth
- Alleviate stress and improve your mood
- Help relax the muscles in your neck

Nice! I need to learn to detangle more. Sometimes I run straight to the shower after exercising. But for bobby pins, try Sally Beauty. They have nice bobby pins that aren't cheap (no offense). Love the website. Keep doing great
