How To Detangle A Hair Knot
STOP! You’ve hit a snag (a big one!); this is no time to lose your cool. It’s all about finesse not force. I discovered this trick when I hit the mother of all snags in my own hair when I was doing a bantu knot. Guess there’s a reason ‘knot’ is in the name…jokes aside, this is what I did:
STOP – put down the comb/brush and move straight to your fingers.
WATER – Go to the sink or shower and take that section and run water over it while carefully pulling hairs.
CONDITION – Bust out the conditioner and slather that section up. Gently rub it into the hair and begin gently pull strands out
BE PATIENT
CUT your losses – if all else fails, cut it as close to the knot as possible and move on
