If you struggle to comb your kid’s tangled hair day after day, there are home remedies to help you get through the tangles without tears.

The following home remedies for tangled hair are inexpensive and simple. Try these home remedies before buying products for tangled hair. You’ll save time, money, and your kid’s hair will be exceptionally manageable and tangle-free.

Conditioner Tip

Years ago, before parents felt it essential to wash their kid’s hair on a daily basis, conditioners weren’t necessary. Hair received conditioning through nightly brushing. Natural oils provided the perfect conditioner for shiny, silky, manageable hair.

These days, many people feel it necessary to wash their hair on a daily basis, and as a result, natural oils are striped from the hair. Conditioner makes hair easier to comb by making it softer and more manageable, and most conditioner labels recommend leaving products in for a few minutes before rinsing them away.

My hairdresser recommends applying a small amount of conditioner to towel-dried hair and leaving it in. Most people wouldn’t consider leaving conditioner in their hair, but for those with chronically tangled hair, it works like a charm. I’ve been applying conditioner in this manner on a regular basis, and my hair doesn’t look flat or oily.

If your kid’s hair is tangled, after washing and towel drying, apply a small amount of conditioner to the palms of your hands, and massage it into the ends first. Work your way upwards toward the scalp. If you apply the conditioner to the scalp first, the hair will appear oily.
