Detangling can be a delicate step for coily hair, especially when it is dry, matted, or lacks suppleness. To minimize breakage, it is best to work on hair in small sections, soften it before detangling, and use a treatment that provides enough slip to make it easier for fingers or a comb to glide through.
Plant-based gels made from ingredients like flaxseed, okra, marshmallow, etc., are valued for their slip, which can make handling hair easier.
My magic pinky gel combines several gelling plants in a single preparation, notably flaxseed, fenugreek, and marshmallow. Once prepared, it provides the necessary slip to make detangling easier, while contributing to the softness and suppleness of the hair.
💡 Effective detangling starts with hair that is sufficiently supple and a product that facilitates glide, in order to limit unnecessary manipulation and better preserve the lengths.
