DD's hair is kind of special in that it ALWAYS turns into a tangled mess as soon as she wakes up. It doesn't matter what it looked like the night before. I found the large paddle brushes work best with her. It comes right out, but then again, her hair isn't that long to begin with.

Eta: I'm not very gentle.

My nieces's hair was always a mess and it would take me 15 minutes to brush it out! It was really fine, so it would basically get tangled again as soon as I finished unless I put it up. Ugh. Drove me nuts, lol.

I would try to be gentle, but she would get fussy no matter what, so I ended up just trying to do it as fast as I could.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: I use the tangleteezer too!

DD doesn't have enough hair to get tangled, but I know I'll be super gentle with it!

I'm very gentle; in large part because I can still clearly remember the times that my mom was not very gentle with my tangles! My method is detangler with a large tooth comb, and then a small tooth comb or brush; the entire time I hold her hair tight and brush up from the ends so she doesn't feel much pulling.

@mrbee: do you use a conditioner?

Chloe's hair definitely still tangled, but not nearly as bad as when we still washed her hair with Johnson and Johnson.

I shampoo her hair with Organix brand shampoo, and a dab of conditioner on the ends (neck down, not on the crown). Then I use a paddle brush after we get out of the bath, and again in the morning. I wet the paddle brush too before combing her dry hair!

@Dandelion: it works! It's my routine too. We both have thick curly hair.

Cs hair is curly and it gets super ratty in the back. I just use a little spray and one of those little detangler brushes that fits in your palm. Easy peasy and she doesnt complain usually.

Not enough hair on either of my boys to tangle, but I use the wetbrush on my own hair after learning about it while watching my little cousins

I would be so gentle.

I start at the bottom and use my fingers then a natural bristle brush then a paddle brush if needed.
