How to quickly detangle fine curly hair

I have fine curls and my hair gets tangled 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 weighing fine curls down.

2. Avoid silicones
Silicone buildup can make fine curls less responsive to moisture and harder to untangle over time. Choose silicone-free formulas to keep strands hydrated, flexible, and healthy.

3. Work in sections with plenty of water
Always detangle when curls are fully saturated and slippery — never dry. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb and gently work through knots, section by section.
