Why detangling works best when hair is wet

The right mix of water and conditioner reduces friction, makes hair softer and makes detangling much easier.

The golden rule: detangle your curls damp, with your fingers or a wide tooth comb.

FAQ

Common questions

Detangle dry or wet?

Damp, with care product in your hair. Dry detangling creates much more friction.

Fingers or comb?

Both. Work through roughly with your fingers first, then use a wide tooth comb from the ends towards the roots.

How often should I wash?

As often as your scalp and your routine need. What matters more than frequency is that moisture stays in your hair after every wash.

Fewer knots on wash day?

Porosity

Do you know your porosity?

Your curl pattern is not the only thing that decides your care routine. Just as important is how your hair takes in moisture and products, and how well it holds on to them.

Low porosity

Water takes longer to get into your hair, and products can build up on the surface more quickly.

Deine StrategieMore water. Less product. Light layers.

Medium porosity

Your hair takes in water and care products fairly evenly.

Deine StrategieKeep your care balanced and let the feel of your hair guide the amount.

High porosity

Water goes in quickly, but it often leaves just as quickly.

Deine StrategieLayer your moisture. Look after the lengths. Add hair oil when your hair asks for it.

Still not sure?

Watch your hair after wash day:

  • How quickly does it get wet?
  • How quickly does it dry?
  • Do products tend to sit on your hair, or are they absorbed quickly?

How your hair feels and how it reacts to products will help you tailor your routine.
