Meaning ❉ Detangling Science represents the systematic study of textured hair’s physical properties and responsiveness to manipulation, specifically for coils and curls. This field precisely calibrates approaches to hair care, moving beyond mere effort to a grounded understanding of each strand’s unique architecture and elasticity. It supports individuals with Black and mixed heritage hair in developing gentle, repeatable routines that preserve hair integrity. Practical application involves selecting appropriate tools and conditioners, reducing friction, and systematically separating hair strands with mindful precision. This knowledge aids in minimizing breakage and fostering length retention, transforming a potentially challenging process into a calm, informed approach that respects the hair’s natural state and promotes its well-being.
