Usage Instructions
Use the Tangle Tamer™much like you
would use a normal comb,on wet or
dry hair.Work on small sections at a
time.Detangle the ends first and use
short strokes.
1. Gently towel dry hair to remove
excess water. Avoid rubbing hair
with towel—this creates split ends
and frizziness.
2. Divide hair into
manageable
sections.
3. Work with one
small section of
hair at a time.
Securely hold
the section of
hair 4 or 5 inches from the end.
4. Place the Tangle Tamer™ in the hair
just below your hand and ease it
through the hair to the ends using
short strokes.
5. Move your hand to grasp the section
of hair a few inches higher, and
repeat the process.
6. Gradually work your way up the section of hair like this until you can run
the Tangle Tamer™ smoothly from
the roots to the ends.The Tangle
Tamer™ should glide easily
through wet or dry hair, so do not try
to force it.If you come across a difficult tangle,simply take the Tangle
Tamer™ out of hair and start again.
Avoid allowing the teeth to press
against the scalp.
7. Repeat for each section of hair, until
all the tangles have been combed
through.
