How to Prevent Tangling and Matting in Kinky Curly Bundles

How to Prevent Tangling and Matting in Kinky Curly Bundles

Mikey Moran

It’s a fact that Kinky Curly Bundles are beautiful, and they leave you feeling authentic and like the queen you are, but since two truths can coexist, we also know that dealing with tangling and matting is a run in the pack.

They are not so regal, especially when you abandon them and don’t provide the care needed to keep them lush and tangle-free. Imagine feeling fierce, ready to slay the day, and your fingers get caught in a knot more significant than your weekend plans.

Yeah, it’s not cute. But that’s alright because we’ve got the lowdown on how to keep your Kinky Curly Bundles looking flawless without losing your sanity (or your hair). Let’s dive in!

Hydration is The Key

The first rule is to keep Kinky Curly Hair moisturized. Kinky curly hair needs moisture, just as you need a glass of water first thing in the morning. A good leave-in conditioner and regular hydration keep those curls soft and tangle-free.

Dry hair is prone to knots, so keep your bundles well-moisturized with hydrating sprays or creams.

This may seem like a lot, but keeping a spray bottle filled with water and some conditioner handy has never done any harm. A quick spritz throughout the day can keep dryness at bay and curls looking fresh.

Detangle Like a Pro

The next step in your hair care routine is detangling Kinky Curly Hair. It’s best to use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle your hair.

Always start detangling from the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots to prevent breakage and damage.

It’s important to detangle your hair when damp and coated with conditioner. This helps to make your hair slippery and more manageable, reducing the risk of breakage.

When your Kinky Curly Hair is wet and conditioned, it’s easier to work through any knots or tangles. Detangling should be a relaxing and gentle process. Take your time, breathe deeply, and allow the conditioner to lift the heavy.

This approach will help minimize damage and make the detangling process more enjoyable.

Silk & Satin Nights

There’s a good reason why hair bonnets are part of the black community: this is because of our natural Afro hair and how the silkiness of the material helps to protect our natural hair and, in extension, any other fabulous bundles we choose to wear, so you must upgrade your nighttime hair care routine by switching from a standard cotton pillowcase to a silk or satin one.

Cotton pillowcases can cause friction, leading to tangled and frizzy hair in the morning.

Using a silk or satin pillowcase or wrapping your hair in a satin scarf before bed can minimize friction and allow your hair to glide smoothly as you sleep, resulting in more manageable and fabulous-looking hair when you wake up.

Embrace Protective Styles

It’s essential to embrace protective styles for your hair. When you’re not flipping your Kinky curls side to side, consider putting your hair in a protective style such as braids, twists, or buns.

These styles not only look stylish but also prevent tangles by keeping your human hair bundles contained and protected.

Think of protective styles as a bit of vacation for your hair; they keep it safe and sound, giving you one less thing to worry about while ensuring your hair remains healthy and vibrant.

Avoid Touching Your Hair

Treat your Kinky curls like a fine piece of art—admire them from a distance and resist the urge to touch them. Playing with your curls all day might be tempting, but constant touching can lead to tangles.

Try to keep your hands out of your hair as much as possible. Over-manipulation is a fast track to knot city.

Just like how you twat off wondering hands reaching from your natural hair, maintain the same energy with your Kinky Curly hair.

Deep Conditioning

Deep conditioning is extremely beneficial for your hair as it provides intense moisture, restores elasticity, and prevents tangles. It’s essentially a rejuvenating spa treatment for your hair.

To keep your hair in excellent condition, it is recommended to incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your routine at least once a week.

Choose the Right Products

Not all hair products are created equal. Choose shampoos, conditioners, and styling products specifically designed for curly hair.

If you don’t already know the drill by now, avoid products containing alcohol, as they can strip your hair of its natural moisture. Use shampoo or co-wash hair every couple of wears or after every two weeks. 

Air Dry your Hair and Avoid Heat

Use heat sparingly to maintain hair integrity and prevent cuticle damage—preferably, air-dry hair rather than drying with a hairdryer.

Always allow hair to air dry properly. Letting it drip and air dry creates beautiful curl patterns.

Take It Easy With Hair Products

Remember not to use heavy styling products like mousse on curly weaves, which can make the hair heavy and cause tangles and knots.

Instead, use a little bit of natural oil or a light spray to control frizz and manage your hair, taking care not to use too much and weigh the weave down.

If these all seem too troublesome for you, remember that great hair doesn’t happen by chance but by care.
