K-beauty hair detangling: five gentle steps with an AROMATICA conditioner example

Work from the ends upward with the right comb and timing for your hair texture. These beginner steps avoid yanking knots and rough towel-drying.

Official Tangle Teezer: how to use a detangling brush (product example) · Tangle Teezer · YouTube

Forceful detangling can break hair. The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) advises using conditioner and a wide-tooth comb, gently working from the ends upward. Straight hair may be easier to comb once partly dry, whereas thick or curly hair may be better detangled while damp and conditioned. Adjust to your hair texture. As a Korean-brand example, AROMATICA lists Rosemary Hair Thickening Conditioner as 180 mL on its Korean official site and 400 mL on its global official site (checked November 1, 2026). Both product pages direct users to apply after shampooing, leave it on for 2–3 minutes and rinse. Different listings do not establish identical regional formulas, inventory or labeling. This is an example of labeled conditioner use, not independent evidence of hair repair. Check ingredients if fragrance or essential oils irritate you. The Tangle Teezer video illustrates a brush; you need not buy it.

  1. 01

    Match your timing to hair type

    If you have straight hair, let it dry a little before gentle detangling. For thick, textured or curly hair, combing while damp or with conditioner still in during a shower may be better. One wet-hair rule does not fit everyone.

    Get conditioner and a wide-tooth comb

    Have a clean wide-tooth comb and a conditioner suitable for your hair ready; never yank a tight knot. Both AROMATICA's Korean 180 mL and global 400 mL Rosemary Hair Thickening Conditioner pages direct users to apply after shampooing, leave for 2–3 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Neither page specifically verifies combing with that product still applied. Base your detangling timing on hair texture and the instructions on your own product.

    Separate sections and begin at the ends

    Divide the hair into manageable sections, holding the section gently with one hand to reduce pulling at the scalp. Work small tangles out from the tips first.

    Move gradually toward the roots

    Free the ends first, then move through the middle lengths and gradually toward the roots. Use your fingers gently on stubborn knots and stop if it hurts. If adding conditioner, follow that product's detangling and rinse directions; do not assume AROMATICA specifically recommends combing while its rinse-out conditioner is on the hair.

    Dry gently and watch for breakage

    Absorb water by wrapping hair in a towel or T-shirt instead of vigorously rubbing it. Seek dermatologist guidance if breakage, scalp pain or hair loss persists.

✦ Helpful tips

  • Hair texture varies widely. The brand's brush video is only an example; a wide-tooth comb is a practical alternative.
  • You do not need to brush your hair 100 times a day.
  • The 180 mL Korean and 400 mL global listings are market-specific examples. Recheck ingredients, size and availability on the actual product label in your region.

ⓘ Keep in mind

  • Wet hair can be fragile. Do not use high heat or tugging to force knots apart.
  • Consult a dermatologist if severe breakage, scalp pain or hair loss continues.
