Why Some Hair Tangles After Washing—and What That Tells You

Why Some Hair Tangles After Washing—and What That Tells You

Tangling is not random. It is almost always a result of cuticle issues.

When cuticles are:

• misaligned

• damaged

• partially stripped

They catch onto one another during movement, washing, or humidity exposure. This causes matting, knots, and shedding.

Hair that relies heavily on silicone to feel smooth will often tangle once that coating washes away. This is why some hair looks amazing at first but deteriorates quickly.

Understanding tangling helps buyers diagnose whether the issue is hair quality or maintenance, rather than assuming the hair itself is “bad.”
