Get answers to common questions about Intensive Hair Detangling.

Most sessions take 45 to 90 minutes depending on hair length, density, and severity of tangling. We assess hair condition first, then proceed with gentle detangling, conditioning, and trimming if necessary. We prioritize minimizing breakage and preserving hair integrity.

When performed by trained stylists using slip agents, wide-tooth combs, and sectioning techniques, the service minimizes additional shedding and breakage. We prioritize gentle methods and may recommend trims and strengthening treatments if hair is fragile to improve long-term health and appearance.

No need to shampoo beforehand unless advised. Slightly dirty hair often detangles better with product slip. If you have heavy product buildup, inform us—your stylist may clarifying shampoo or pre-treatment to improve results and reduce detangling time.

We use targeted leave-ins, slip-enhancing conditioners, gentle sectioning and finger-detangling before combing. Wide-tooth tools and low tension techniques reduce stress. If necessary, we recommend deep conditioning or protein treatments afterward to rebuild and protect weakened strands.

Yes, often yes, though extreme matting may require longer sessions or careful trimming. Our stylists evaluate each case, using conditioning, solvent-based detanglers, and patient sectioning. We always prioritize hair preservation and will discuss realistic outcomes and alternative options if needed.

Follow your stylist's aftercare: gentle cleansing, regular deep conditioning, and detangling with wide-tooth combs or fingers. Use recommended leave-ins and protective styles, avoid heat and tight manipulation for a few weeks, and schedule follow-up treatments to maintain hair health.
