What is Matted Hair?
Think of matted hair as the uninvited guest to your hair party. They manifest as extreme knots and tangles, resulting in clumps of hair that feel increasingly frustrating to the scalp. For many, they can be so bad that the only way out seems to be a scissor-shortcut.
The Roots of Matted Hair
Several factors can put you at a greater risk for matted hair:
Hair type and texture: Those with dry, brittle, over-treated, or curly/frizzy hair are prime candidates.
A parched scalp: A dry scalp can contribute to the chaos.
Neglect: Not brushing for prolonged periods can invite the tangles.
Trapped impurities: Dirt, sweat, and product build-up from infrequent washes can play culprits too.
The Road to Redemption
Before you reach for those shears, let’s journey through the best way to detangle matted hair without cutting:
Begin with dampness: Slightly wet hair can be more malleable.
Cleanse gently: Use a sulphate-free shampoo such as the Dolce Nourishing Shampoo, designed for dry and damaged hair, to loosen the dirt and product residue.
Handle with care: After washing, pat dry to prevent breakage.
Deep Nourish: Apply a deep conditioner, (Dolce Nourishing Mask), detangling spray (Vivace Leave In Conditioner), or a nourishing oil generously over the matted sections. Let it rest for 30-60 minutes (or as per the product’s guidelines).
Brush Right: Employ a comb or detangle brush, ensuring you move gently, unravelling from the tips upwards.
Rinse and Repeat: Post-detangling, cleanse once more if required.
Prevention – The Keymaster
Remember, prevention is the best way to tackle matted hair. Here’s how:
Moisturise religiously: Both hair and scalp require hydration. (Check out our guide on How to hydrate hair and keep it healthy).
Brush regularly: Especially after washing.
Indulge: Regularly treat your hair with deep conditioning sessions.
Snip regularly: Regular haircuts ensure dead ends don’t wreak havoc.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Use products devoid of harsh chemicals [such as Rossano Ferretti Parma!], and if in doubt, consult a stylist. To book a consultation with a Rossano Ferretti Hair Artist, find your nearest Rossano Ferretti Salon.
