How to Tame Knots, Nourish Curls & Avoid the Tears
If you’ve ever tried to brush your child’s curly hair only to be met with knots, tears, and frustration—you’re not alone. Curly hair is naturally more prone to tangles, and without the right products and routine, it can feel like a daily battle.
Let’s break it down:
-
Why does curly hair tangle so much?
-
How can you prevent knots and frizz?
-
And what’s the best product to make the process easier (and a whole lot gentler)?
Why Does Curly Hair Tangle So Easily?
Curly hair has a unique texture. Each strand bends and coils in its own way, making it easier for hairs to wrap around each other and form knots—especially when dry or damaged. Throw in a pillow, a windy day, or a school hat, and suddenly it feels like a tangled jungle.
Unlike straight hair, curls often struggle to get natural oils from the scalp to the ends, meaning they need extra moisture to stay healthy and manageable.
