Snarls Stuck In Your Hair

by: Damien R. von Dahlem / Hairstyles Magazine

Removing snarls and rats nest from hair is another lesson in patience. Find a really sturdy LARGE toothed comb. Beginning at the hair tips, not at the scalp, slowly and gently unravel the hair bit by bit until it is all free. Now apply vinegar to the hair and gently comb the hair through for about ten minutes to close down the damaged hair cuticles. Rinse -shampoo -rinse - apply a smoothing conditioner or cream rinse, and rinse again.

This is one of those areas in life where an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. If you properly shampoo, condition, and comb the hair on a regular basis, this should never happen in the first place.
