How can I prevent tangles in the first place?

Brush or comb your hair regularly: Regular brushing or combing can prevent tangles from forming in the first place. This helps to distribute natural oils from the scalp throughout the hair, which keeps it healthy and less prone to tangling.

Tie your hair up: Tying your hair up in a loose braid or ponytail can also help to prevent tangles. This keeps the hair contained and prevents it from getting caught on clothing or other objects.

Use a leave-in conditioner or detangling spray: Using a leave-in conditioner or detangling spray can make your hair easier to comb through and prevent tangles. These products work by smoothing the hair cuticle and adding moisture to the hair, making it more manageable and less likely to tangle.
