When you try to comb from the top down, think of how much hair you are attempting to pull a comb through at one time.”
For extra protection, while detangling, pair this technique with a wide tooth bone comb and White Sands Haircare’s Spray Leave-in Conditioner With its unique combination of green tea leaf and orchid flower extracts, these powerful anti-aging ingredients fight free radicals, while preventing tangles and tears to make wet combing even easier.
