Overview
Lynwood shares practical tips and product recommendations for managing tender-headed hair, focusing on proper trimming, conditioning, and selecting the right detangling brushes to minimize pain and hair damage.
Addressing Hair Tangling and Knotting
- Regular trims help prevent split ends that cause tangling and knotting, especially at the hair's ends and mid-shaft.
- Use only professional shears for trimming; kitchen or craft scissors can worsen split ends and hair damage.
- Keeping hair trimmed regularly maintains healthier edges and reduces hair loss from breakage.
Importance of Moisturizing and Proper Conditioning
- Quality shampoo and conditioner with a proper pH balance are critical for minimizing tangling and maintaining hair health.
- Cheap conditioners often have poor ingredients and can leave hair dry and prone to matting.
- Investing in better shampoo and conditioner yields healthier hair compared to spending more on styling products.
Leave-in Conditioners and Detangling
- Leave-in conditioners (preferably liquid or spray) provide moisture, balance pH, and aid detangling in one step.
- Cream-based leave-ins are discouraged for tender-headed individuals, as they may cause more snagging.
- Always detangle hair when it's wet or damp to reduce friction and pain.
Recommended Brushes for Tender-Headed Hair
- Denman paddle brush: Sturdy and ideal for thicker hair or when blow drying; does not cause excessive tangling.
- Wet Brush (blow dry and Intelliflex): Flexible bristles reduce snagging; Intelliflex model is especially good for very tender scalps and offers total flexibility.
- Wet Brush Intelliflex's flexible body and bristles make it the best option for extremely tender-headed users.
