Hair de-tangler recommendations

SingItOut

I have long hair that is about two inches below my shoulders, it hasn't been this long in years but I am finding it gets tangled much easier and I'm having a lot of hair breakage as a result.

Can anyone recommend a good de-tangler spray? Price doesnt necessarily matter.

Revlon equave is the best. Get it in Sally. Also get a tangle teezer brush, they are fab.

I use L'Oréal Kids Sweet Pear Tangle Tamer http://www.boots.com/en/LOreal-Kids-Sweet-Pear-Tangle-Tamer-150ml_6385/

This one is also good it's for african hair but works great on any hair type. http://www.boots.com/en/Dark-Lovely-Kids-Ouchless-Detangler-250ml_927734/

I like the mane n tail detangler spray. Think it's about €7 or €8 quid, the bottle is huge and lasts for ages

Tangle teezers are great - I have one, and now can't brush my hair with anything else as it hurts too much!!

I saw this in town, that's a really good price for mane and tail :eek: a tangle teezer is definitely on the shopping list, thanks all

Sally salon services, a shop. If there's none near you you should be able to buy some in your hairdressers.

I have very thick, waist length hair that matts up and tangles if you look at it. I use the L'Oréal kids pear detangle spray. I think it's around 3 euro in boots. It works a charm. The pear smell is quite strong but it fades within a couple of minutes.

I had very bad tangles when I was a child and I remember when that Loreal stuff was released over here...Godsend

I also recommend a Tangle Teezer. Seemed kinda expensive for a small brush, but delighted that I bought it! Every other brush hurts now..

Thanks for all your recommendations, lots of shopping to be done next week

Just wondering, would you use this on dry hair or just after washing?

You can use it both ways. After washing, I towel dry my hair then spray this on in sections and brush it out, then blow dry. If I have pretty bad bed head (which I have nearly every day!) I'll spray it in dry hair and brush it through.

Like I said, the pear smell is really strong and sweet but don't let that put you off, it fades away within 2 mins!

Great product for the price and really works.

I have very thick, very long hair (about 2 inches below my bra strap) and I find rather than using any extra product, combing my conditioner through in the shower with a wide-toothed comb makes the biggest difference.

Also, don't scrub like mad when you're shampooing - massage your scalp with your fingertips rather than rub the ends of your hair together, and when you're towel-drying, squeeze your hair with the towel, don't ruffle it.

This is usually what I do too, it's when my hair starts to dry after washing that's when it becomes one big knot
