    A spray detangler and a large tooth comb are my favorite tools for removing knots. Using your fingers can be very effective too. Just go slow and be patient.

    Keeping your ends trimmed is essential, as split ends tangle more easily. You should also make sure to use moisturizing products, as dry hair is also more prone to tangling.

    A silk pillowcase is great for preventing tangles. You can also braid your hair or wrap it in a scarf before bed.

    Add spray detangler and use a wide tooth comb to gently pick the knots apart. Always start at the ends of the hair and slowly work up toward the roots.
