It was really windy today and my hair was down, so it got really tangly I was jw if there is something that I can do at home to get the tangles out easier? I don't want to just take a brush to it because then it'll break off

I recommend washing your hair, and using conditioner, I know it takes time but it'd stop your hair from breaking. :)

Buy No More Tangles by Johnson & Johnson and follow the directions.
And use conditioner after you shampoo.

Well,what I use is Pantene Pro V Light Conditioner Detangle.And I just spray it on my hair and then run a comb through it,this stuff really works.

Try using a deep conditioner or a detangling hair product to prevent tangling. After you wash your hair, apply a deep conditioner or use a detangling mist and comb with a wide toothed comb. You can also apply hair serum or pomade to wet or dry hair. This will reduce flyaway hair and tangles, and make your hair smooth and shiny.
