THE SECRET TO EFFORTLESS DETANGLING

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough love: slip.

If you’ve ever run your fingers through your hair and it felt like butter—gliding through without a single snag—that’s slip at work. But what is it, really? And why does it matter so much, especially for curls?

What Exactly Is Slip?

Slip is that silky, smooth feeling you get when applying a product to your hair, making detangling easy and stress-free. Imagine knots just melting away.

That’s what a product with great slip does—minimizes friction, reduces breakage, and leaves your hair feeling soft and manageable.

Why Do Curls Need It?

Curls are naturally more prone to tangling because of their texture.

More bends = more places for knots to form. Without slip, detangling curls can quickly turn into a tug-of-war (and we all know who wins that battle... hello, breakage).

Using products with good slip lets your curls stay intact while you gently work through tangles.

Tips for Maximizing Slip in Your Routine

Want to make the most of the slip in your products? Here are some simple tips to enhance that effortless glide through your curls:

Use Warm Water: Start with warm water when rinsing your hair. It helps open up the cuticles, allowing your products to penetrate better and increase slip.

Apply on Damp Hair: For best results, apply your leave-in conditioner or styling products on damp hair. This helps lock in moisture and enhances the slip, making detangling a breeze.

Layer Wisely: When layering products, start with a moisturizing product that has slip, like our Repairing Hair Mask. Follow up with lighter styling products to avoid weighing down your curls.

Don’t Skimp on Product: If you find your hair still tangles easily, don’t be afraid to use a little more product. Finding the right amount for your hair can help maximize slip without leaving it feeling greasy.

Regular Deep Conditioning: Incorporate deep conditioning treatments into your routine. Regularly hydrating your hair boosts its elasticity and makes it easier to manage.

How to Spot Slip in Your Products

Look for ingredients that add moisture and lubrication, like natural oils, butters, and glycerin. If your product leaves your hair feeling silky as you work it in, congrats—you’ve found a keeper.

A few hero ingredients known for adding slip:

Glycerin – A humectant that draws moisture into the hair, increasing smoothness and manageability.

Marshmallow Root – Known for its mucilage content, it coats the hair and creates a smooth, slippery feel.

Jojoba Oil – Lightweight and similar to natural hair oils, it glides through strands without weighing them down.

When Slip Matters Most

The detangling process is where slip really shines. It’s your secret weapon for cutting down time, frustration, and hair loss during your routine.

Slip also comes in handy when you're styling, ensuring your product spreads evenly and your curls stay smooth and defined.
