No matter how vigorously you brush your hair before leaving the house, sometimes it feels like just walking outside can bring a world of tangles. It's always something we're apologising for by the time we reach the hairdressers (why is our hair like this?) and it usually ends up being pretty annoying and painful to shift on your own watch. Three decades of salon expertise and a passion for understanding women's hair has taught us that when your hair is at its healthiest, it’s at its best.

Make sure you're using the correct brush or comb - soft-bristled brushes and non-static combs are a hairdresser's best tools Johanne Herald, senior master stylist at Charles Worthington, shared her expertise from her years of experience. Go easy on the heat. Use a heat-protectant cream or spray and ensure hair is completely dry before applying tongs or irons.

Alongside knowing your hair type and using a detangling spray, Johanne recommends these top tips to keep your hair free from knots: Finer, longer hair tends to be naturally tangly (a bit like baby hair), and longer, curly hair is always tangly,” Johanne told us. “Incorrectly conditioned hair will tangle for sure, and we all recall the post-holiday sun and sea tangles." How do you keep your hair from getting tangled? Treat your hair with protein first to build up cuticles, so they can take heavier, more moisturising products. Ask your stylist to do an elasticity and porosity test to help you figure out your hair type (when it is safe to do so)." Simply spray on dry or towel-dried hair to help make your mane more manageable, or use it as a leave-in conditioner overnight. Not only that, but most detangling sprays are worth adding to your haircare arsenal for the extra benefits that just a spritz or two will provide. They can help to combat frizz, provide heat and UV protection, and condition with added proteins, to just name a few.

Our team of experts know that the secret to hassle-free healthy hair lies in selecting and combining the best haircare ingredients that nature and science have to offer, to give your hair immediate results.
