How do you change detangling technique without increasing breakage?
Work in sections, use enough slip, start at the ends, and compare one tool or technique at a time while tracking shed hair, snapping, knots, and scalp comfort.
Change one thing at a time
Keep the rest of the routine stable, follow the current label, and note timing and symptoms so benefit or irritation is easier to identify.
Stop signs
Stop for persistent burning, swelling, blistering, hives, or worsening symptoms. Seek urgent help for breathing trouble or severe swelling.
