Spending too much time detangling my curls

My fine curls tangle so easily—what’s the best conditioner to use so detangling doesn’t take hours in the shower?

We get it. Detangling is one of the most common challenges for fine curls. Because our strands are delicate and lightweight, they can knot quickly, especially when dry or dehydrated.

Here are a few simple tweaks that can make detangling faster and gentler:

 

    1. Use a lightweight, plant-based conditioner
      Formulas with oils like Argan, Grapeseed, and Apricot help soften knots, smooth the cuticle, and add slip—without heaviness.

    1. Avoid silicones
      Silicone buildup can make fine curls less responsive to moisture and harder to untangle over time. Look for silicone-free options to keep strands hydrated and healthy.

    1. Work in sections with plenty of water
      Start detangling when curls are saturated and slippery—never dry. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently work through knots.

✨ If you’d like something formulated specifically for fine curly hair, our Conditioner is infused with Argan, Grapeseed, and Apricot oils to provide slip, hydration, and effortless detangling—without buildup or residue.
