How to Use a Wide-Tooth Comb to Detangle Hair

A wide-tooth comb is a simple hair accessory for working through tangles with controlled, gradual movements.

Start at the Ends

Separate the hair into manageable sections and begin at the ends. Work through small areas before moving closer to the roots.

Use Gentle Strokes

Hold the section above the area you are combing and move slowly through tangles. Avoid forcing the comb through knots.

When Hair Is Wet

Wet hair can feel more delicate, so take extra care and use small sections. A wide-tooth design provides more space between teeth for controlled detangling.

Keep the Comb Clean

Remove trapped hair regularly and wash the comb when needed. Let it dry fully before storing it.
