Top Three Detanglers for Curly Hair

Many ladies with straight locks seem to think that we curly-haired gals have it easy. We simply throw mousse or gel into our hair and are out the door, right? Wrong! The straight-haired ladies have no idea about the special products and work that goes into maintaining healthy, touchable curls.

Having dyed and fried my hair to a sickening degree as a teenager, I discovered many products which nourish thirsty curls while making kinky manes more manageable. The three most effective detanglers for curly hair include:

Curly Hair Solutions Slip Detangler

Designed specifically for making curly hair more manageable, this detangler from Curly Hair Solutions will allow for even the toughest and most dry of curls to be combed and styled. Silicone-free, this product also contains the special Slip formula, which helps to lock in hair color (artificial or natural) and prevent discoloring caused by the sun or heat lamps.

Priced at $15.50 for an eight ounce container, the Curly Hair Solutions Slip Detangler is a bit on the pricey side - but works wonders on tangled, dry, and rough curls.

This product is available online at Folica.

Pantene Pro-V Detangle Light Spray Conditioner
While this product from Pantene may not have been designed specifically to treat curly locks, it has worked wonders on my mane for years. The benefits of this detangler not only include a return of manageability, but the product also works to smooth and soothe dry strands, restore natural shine, and protect hair from discoloring caused by the sun and heat lamps.

Priced at just $4.99 for eight and one-half ounces, the Pantene Pro-V Detangle Light Spray Conditioner is the most affordable and effective detangler widely available for curly hair.

Alterna Life Curls Detangler
Another incredible product designed specifically to treat curly hair, this product from Alterna offers endless benefits. The detangler prepares hair for styling while promoting manageability, fortifies dry and damaged curls with its special Elasto Complex, helps to prevent frizz by combining citrus sandal and myrrh extracts, and improves the hair's elasticity.

Priced at $19.99 for eight and one-half ounces, the Alterna Life Curls Detangler may seem far overpriced to some, though the number of benefits offered by the product should be noted along with its price tag.

This product is available online at Folica.
