QuestionWhat can I do to remove tangles if the normal methods have failed?Community AnswerYou want to detangle your curly hair when it is wet or partially damp. This makes it easier to remove knots. Partition your hair into sections, and start with the section near the back of your head and work your way forward. Gently loosen knots with your fingers before using a wide-toothed comb. Always start at the ends and work your way up to the roots. If you must detangle dry curly hair, use coconut oil and your fingertips to gently work out the knot. Additionally, you can spritz argan oil, which is a penetrating oil, into your section and detangle with your fingers, followed by a wide-toothed comb.

QuestionCan I use oils instead of conditioning everyday?Community AnswerCoconut oil works best since curly hair requires a lot of moisturization.

Whenever you wash your hair with shampoo, apply a little bit of the oil on your wet hair, especially on the tips.

QuestionHow do I make my curly hair long?Community AnswerFirst, try to cut heat as much as you can as it leads to breakage which makes it harder for hair to grow longer. Second, use essential oils on your scalp twice a week. Oils like castor oil, olive oil, aloe vera, sesame and coconut really do the job. Third, focus on your diet. Try to eat as much protein as you can, as well as vitamin-rich food like salmon, eggs, spinach, etc. If you have room in your budget, you can get hair supplements.

QuestionHow do I keep my hair moisturized?Community AnswerTry avoiding shampoo altogether and condition your hair often (I take a shower almost every night and condition my hair every time). Once in a while you should use a deep conditioner to add that burst of moisture when your hair is feeling dry.
