Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to detangle curly hair without causing breakage?
Always detangle on wet hair with conditioner in, never on dry hair. Start at the ends and work your way gradually up to the roots, using either your fingers first or our wide-tooth comb. Hold the hair above the section you are working on to reduce pulling and take your time. Rushing detangling is one of the most common causes of breakage in curly hair.
Which Only Curls products help with detangling?
Our All Curl Conditioner provides great slip for detangling in the shower. For children or particularly knotty hair, our Little Curls Detangling Conditioner and Little Curls Magic Detangling Spray are specifically designed to make the process easier and more comfortable.
My child's hair always gets knotty overnight. What can I do?
Overnight tangles are one of the most common challenges for curly-haired children. A silk or satin pillowcase dramatically reduces friction while sleeping, and our sleep turbans and pineapple protectors keep hair contained so there is less to manage in the morning. Consistent conditioning and gentle detangling on wash days also reduces how tangled the hair gets between washes.
Should I use a brush or a comb to detangle curly hair?
A wide-tooth comb or your fingers are the gentlest options for detangling curly hair. Brushing dry curly hair is one of the quickest ways to cause frizz and breakage. Our wide-tooth comb is designed for use in the shower with conditioner in.
