Happens to me too from my coat. It's horrible. I'm actually thinking about cutting my hair because of it. I feel like I have to brush it a hundred times a day. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Anyone else's hair getting very knotty?!

Ugh, mine is so bad.

I don't know your texture, but I have fine wavy hair that I straighten. I have a lot of it and it is LOOONG. I think the issue is static combined with sweaters and jackets that rub the hair.

I think the best thing you can do is wear your hair up when you have your jacket on. I also use Chi or biosilk in my hair to give it a little weight to make it knot less and make it more slippery. Other than that, I brush my hair often. You can spray static guard on your brush which helps with the fly-aways.

Chat Icon I just read through the thread and also checked to see if I had responded to it! Chat Icon I thought maybe I had some good advice.. but no Chat Icon

Maybe I'll try some kids detangler though. Anyone ever try this? Is it strong enough?

I use detangler and it doesn't help me at all. Well maybe it does, maybe my hair would be worse without it! Chat Icon

Re: Anyone else's hair getting very knotty?!

try a couple drops of a silicone based oil or shine spray....
detangler is more for when you blow out.......

just a drop ...not more or oily mess...also use a wide tooth comb every few hours for for a minute to keep one tangle from turning into a dread :)

I tried Chi silk infusion on it this morning. I guess it helped a little, though ultimately I think I'm in need of a haircut.

My hair is medium thickness and long.. I wanna do something with more of a shape. I have the urge to do something new!

You and me both! I will say though, no layers. You are just asking for bigger knots. Every time I get layers, the knots are worse.

But thanks for reminding me to schedule a trim!

I wish there was a better idea. Maybe a silk scarf over the collar of your jacket. Some women say it works.

Michelle- if layers aren't good.. what else can I do to change it up a little? Layers is always like my "go to" if I want my hair to look like i t's not just laying there. Chat Icon

For me it usually means I need a trim.
I just got a trim and it's a lot better.

my hair gets very tangled so I use a kids detangler every morning after I shower. It works great!

I haven't tried it with dry hair though so idk if it would help with knots caused by your coat/scarf.
