How To Finger Detangle Type 4 Hair

Finger Detangling is when you use your fingers to remove shed hairs and tangles instead of using a comb or brush.

Benefits of finger detangling:

1. It's a lot gentler on the strands.

2. You are able to feel every tangle and knot.

3. As a result of being able to feel the tangles you have a better chance of reducing breakage because you can gently untangle your hair especially if the products has alot slip vs using a hair tool and ripping the tangles out.

4. Less pain. If your tender headed finger detangling is for you due to its gentle nature.

5. Overall, thicker and longer hair. Because finger detangling when done correctly can reduce breakage. Reduce breakage means length retention as well as thicker hair because you're losing less hair.

Tips for finger detangling

1. Use products with a lot of slip.

2. Be gentle with your hair.

3. Use small-medium sections.

4. BE PATIENT ( if you rush this 5 will cause a lot of breakage).

5. Make time for this process because it can be time-consuming, especially at the beginner level.
