Best Conditioner for Detangling

8 replies

BegoneWeeds · 18/09/2018 23:21

Any recommendations for a conditioner that detangles hair really quickly/ easily ?
Years ago I found the Aussie one almost magical for detangling pretty instantly- they've changed the formulation since then though.
I hate when I buy one that doesn't detangle. On an aside, why are the conditioners you find in hotels so rubbish for this, even in expensive hotels?

Have you tried the magic mn trick of combing it through. I mean with an actual comb. It increases the effectiveness by about 100% I’d say

I always brush my hair before washing it to get the knots out, my conditioner then always leaves my hair silky.

I brush fully before washing and conditioning. Its not the job of the conditioner to detangle.
After if it's still knotty then use Johnson's conditioner and detangler spray or loreal kids detangle spray to comb through more.
(Unless it's just me who gets a knotty patch underneath at the back of my neck)

I have very fine hair and lots of it so have spent a fortune over the years searching for this .... by far the best thing I've found though is brush hair before getting in the shower, then brush through with a TangleTeaser once conditioner is on (any conditioner you like), then use the tangle teaser as soon as you're out of the shower.

IME, it's the brush / comb that makes the most difference rather than the conditioner itself.

Having said that though, before I discovered the miracle of the tangle teaser I used a Revlon leave-in conditioner which helped. But did say a 20% improvement whereas the brush is 100%. Will look for a link....

Revlon Equave Instant Beauty Nutritive Conditioner , 500 ml www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CZCD63O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cXFOBb7RTF78X

This is the stuff.

depends on the hair type. My daughter has very fine knotty hair and the alberto balsam raspberry conditioner works really well for her (99p)

I have bleached frazzled hair and the only one that seems to work for me is Elvive coconut masque (about £4)

Any conditioner (even hotel ones) with a 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water solution mixed in.
I shampoo the roots twice, but don't rinse off the shampoo the second time. Apply conditioner mix to the mid-lengths and ends. Let it all work for a minute. Then rinse off everything in one hit. Gives me swishy detangled hair.

Thanks everyone. I will try all that.
