Knotty, tangled hair is a pain (quite literally) to deal with. If you are blessed with super thick and curly hair, you have to go through that pain every single day *ouch*.

Curly hair is prone to tangles and knot, thanks to the textured waves that intertwine when you are not looking. It’s not just time-consuming to detangle them, but these tangles can end up damaging your tresses. It leads to breakage and hampers the health of your hair. But it doesn’t mean you have to live with your puffy, tangled hair and spend an hour detangling it every morning.
