Hair detanglers may actually get you all tied up in knots...

If your hair has you all tied up in knots, using a hair detangler may actually be create another problem, dryness. Hair detanglers contain isopropyl alcohol and/or hydrolyzed animal proteins which can cause your hair to become brittle. Tangles occur most often during shampooing and towel drying. As an alternative to detanglers, try using a deep conditioner three times a week for six weeks after you shampoo your hair. When applying the conditioner to your hair, start at the roots, tilting your head forward, and applying the conditioner by squeezing it into the hair and working your way down the hair shaft. Leave the conditioner on your hair for five to ten minutes. Before you rinse, gently run your fingers or a wide tooth comb through your hair to remove any tangles. After rinsing, gently pat your hair when towel drying. For longer hair, squeeze the water out by hand and then wrap a towel around the length of your hair. Let your hair finish drying naturally if you can, or use a blow dryer with a diffuser if you are in a hurry.
