How to properly detangle/ ultimate detangling steps.

Work with sections. First, section into smaller parts. Detangling smaller sections is easier and not as time consuming.
Start with damp hair. Spray water on your hair until damp.
Add a conditioner/ detangler with a good slip to smoothen the tangles.
Start detangling from the ends to the roots with your fingers. Don’t snap off the tangles, slowly separate the strands from the tangle.
Comb with a wide tooth comb from the ends to the roots of each section then run it through your entire length. You can also use a detangling brush to detangle.
Twist / braid or clip the detangled section and repeat the same for all other sections.
