The Prob: You’ve Just Washed Your Hair and it’s a Tangled Mess
The reason: Chances are, your hair was a little knotty before you hit it with the shower. Then, the act of lathering up, rinsing off, and towel-drying vigorously exacerbated the problem.
Solution:
- Gently brush hair before you shower, using a Wet Brush or Tangle Teaser.
- Use a daily conditioner to add slip, like Defy Damage Protective Conditioner, or K-PAK Conditioner.
- Apply 1 – 2 spritzes of a leave-in treatment after towel-drying hair, like Luster Lock Multi-Perfector Daily Shine & Protect Spray; it provides immediate glide power.

The Prob: Your Long Hair is Tangled Only a Few Hours After You’ve Dried it
The reason: Long hair – especially in the nape area – rubs against your clothes, causing friction…and tangles.
Solution:
- Apply Defy Damage Protective Shield to damp hair before blow-drying; it not only fortifies hair inside and out, but keeps hair soft, shiny, and healthy-looking.
- When hair is dry, rub a small amount of Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil into hair (especially ends) to keep strands silky.

The Prob: You Wake up To Tangles Every Dang Morning
The reason: Friction, friction, and more friction – from tossing and turning to rubbing against cotton pillowcases.
Solution:
- Braid longer hair the night before to keep hair tidy.
- Before you go to bed at night, apply Luster Lock Multi-Perfector Daily Shine & Protect Spray from mid-lengths to ends; then style as desired in the morning. (Bonus: a nighttime of treatment for healthy hair.)
- Swap that cotton pillowcase for silk, which minimizes friction as you sleep.

The Prob: The More You Style Your Hair, The More Tangled it Seems to Get
The reason: Product buildup can be the culprit – all those sprays, gels, mousses, and texturizers need to be thoroughly washed from hair; which is tough when you try to limit shampooing to two or three times a week.
Solution:
- Cleanse hair with K-PAK Clarifying Shampoo every one-to-two weeks to remove excess residue and trace minerals in the hair.
- Blondes can follow up with Blonde Life Brightening Masque which detoxes hair, then infuses it with softness and shine.

The Prob: Your Fine Hair Tangles – Wet, Dry, Day, Night. All Day Every Day.
The reason: “Fairy knots” (aka, Trichonodosis) are those niggly little tangles that tend to develop in a single strand of fine hair. The ones you pull out or cut off in desperation.
Fast fixes:
Solution:
- Work a bit of HydraSplash Gelée Masque For Fine/Medium Hair into wet strands.
- Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute HydraSplash throughout damp hair; leave on 5 minutes, then rinse and style as usual.

The Prob: Your Extensions are Tangling – Even When You’re Careful
The reason: Most extensions are, by nature, on the long side – and long hair is prone to snarls; especially when it has a different texture than your natural hair.
Solution:
- After shampooing and conditioning, apply a drop of Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil to strands (avoid areas where extensions are bonded to hair, as well as roots).
- Work a bit of Dream Blowout Thermal Protection Crème into extensions to keep hair smooth and silky before blow-drying.
