Getting a wide-toothed comb meant for wet hair/detangling and starting closer to the ends right after a shower helped so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651583 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:50:04 +0000 NCSUchick27 1651583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used to braid my hair every night before bed to prevent tangles. My hair was about halfway down my back until I was around 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651577 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:48:57 +0000 looch 1651577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mother's solution was to cut it short, a la Dorothy Hamill's bowl cut...now I have really aged myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651573 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:48:15 +0000 .twist. 1651573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Braid! That's what I did as a kid. </p> <p>Also this brush: <a href="https://www.notanglebrush.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://www.notanglebrush.ca/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651566 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:46:44 +0000 pui 1651566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a kid my mom would comb my hair for me right after a bath/shower. I also wore my hair in a braid or braids to bed. I had very long hair as a kid, so it got tangled pretty easily... cutting hair a bit shorter can make it easier to manage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651565 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:45:37 +0000 Greentea 1651565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have super tangle-y hair. Braids help during the day. I use a natural bristle boar brush starting at the bottom. Gently use your fingers starting at the bottom to pull apart knots. I use a heavy conditioner... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651520 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:34:55 +0000 psw27 1651520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when my hair was super long and tangle-y when I was a kid I believe my mom would braid it (while wet) super tight before bed to help. Of course it was the 80s so crimps were cool anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651501 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:28:19 +0000 Mamaof2 1651501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you said you tried a pony tail but have you tried a braid? That's the only thing that keeps my nieces hair from tangling while she sleeps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651499 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:27:12 +0000 littlebug 1651499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second using a comb or pick instead of a brush. And a braid at bedtime rather than a ponytail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651495 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:25:16 +0000 Adira 1651495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think brushes are generally good for hair that tangles. I use a pick for my hair because that's what works best (it also helps prevent frizz). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651490 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:23:57 +0000 Mrs. J 1651490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of conditioner have you tried? Have you tried a leave in?<br /> Unfortunately, some people just have hair that's prone to knots...like me. When I was little, my mom would use a leave in from Nexxus I think. Now, I really like ABBA moisture scentsation conditioner (it smells so good).</p> <p>I can only speak to professional products though--my mom's a hairdresser and I've never used drugstore brands on my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-tips-for-preventing-tangled-hair#post-1651449 Thu, 22 May 2014 10:10:03 +0000 mrbee 1651449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a lot of the standard brushes, conditioners and detanglers. But despite all that, I was letting our daughter go to bed with a ponytail sometimes... and that was causing extra tangles. I stopped doing that, and things have gotten better.</p> <p>Any other tips for preventing tangled hair? </p>
