Long, fine hair is especially susceptible to tangles. If you have trouble detangling your long or fine hair (or your kid's), here are some tips:
1. Always, always use conditioner after you shampoo. If you have oily hair (many people with fine hair, do), apply conditioner to the bottom two-thirds of your hair. If you have normal or dry hair, try a leave-in conditioner, applied to ends.
2. Use a wide-tooth comb. The many bristles on a brush can tear at hair.
3. Comb from the bottom of hair up.
4. If hair is dry and tangled (like actress Denise Richards, pictured right) and you don't want to wet hair, rub a few drops of shine serum in your palms, then run your hands through your hair. The serum will help you work out the knots with a comb.
