How to Use Detanglers (and Which One to Use!)

Brushing, blowdrying, twirling, heatstylingwe put our hair through a lot, which is why every haircare routine can benefit from a trusty detangler. Detanglers are a type of leave-in conditioner (usually in convenient spray form) that smooths your hair shaft so it's less likely to build up friction and stick to other strands of hair (aka get tangled).

We love detanglers because many of them incorporate ingredients that guarantee a good hair day, like strengthening proteins to fight damage, nourishing oils that keep your hair soft and shiny, and UV blockers to protect color-treated hair. Not sure where to start? In this video, Rachel breaks down how to use a detangler and shares six of her favorites that suit different hair types and lifestyles.
