Do's and Don'ts of Detangling - Quick Guide

Detangling Curls Without the Drama

Curly hair = gorgeous, but tangles? Not so much. Treat your curls right with these simple do’s and don’ts .

Do’s ✅

  • Slip it up – use a water-based leave-in like Slip™ or conditioner so knots glide away.

  • Section it out before and after detangling – small chunks = less stress, more curl love.

  • Finger first – loosen knots gently before the brush hits.

  • Flexy Brush to the rescue – flexible bristles glide through curls without breakage.

  • Go slow – patience = soft, frizz-free, bouncy curls.

Don’ts ❌

  • Don’t detangle dry hair – dry curls break and breakage adds damage frizz.

  • Don’t tug – harsh pulling is a curl killer.

  • Ditch fine-tooth tools – they’re not made for curly goodness.

  • Don’t skip hydration – wet, conditioned curls are happy curls.

Pro Tip: Detangle in the shower or on damp hair, let the Flexy Brush do its magic, and watch your curls shine, bounce, and slay all day!
