5 super easy ways to detangle long hair without any drama

Let’s talk prevention. Most of the worst tangles happen while you sleep, especially if you’re tossing, turning, or sleeping with your hair down like some kind of hair daredevil. Solution? Braid it.

Options:

A loose braid = no knots in the morning + bonus heatless waves.

A messy bun works too—just don’t tie it too tight.

Use a satin or silk scrunchie so you’re not pulling or creasing your hair.

Want to go the extra mile? Sleep on a silk pillowcase. Sounds fancy, but it actually helps reduce friction (a.k.a. fewer tangles and less breakage). Plus, it’s great for your skin. Hello, glow-up!

Bonus Tips (Because Long Hair Is a Full-Time Job)

Let’s be real, detangling is just part of the long hair life. Here are a few extra things to make it all a little easier:

Deep condition once a week. Soft hair = less tangling.

Get regular trims. Split ends = more tangles. Bye.

Use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to dry your hair. It’s way gentler than a regular towel.
