Hey Reader,

If the back-to-school season (or any season, really) has your schedule packed and your patience thinning, you’re not alone. This time of year can be a blessing and a whirlwind, especially when it comes to caring for your hair on limited time.

In today’s issue, I’m sharing my go-to detangling strategy that not only protects your hair from breakage but preserves your peace. Whether you’re dealing with fine strands or just want to simplify your routine without sacrificing the health of your hair, this one’s for you.

📍FOR YOUR FEED
The Detangling Rule of Thumb

Tired of breakage during detangling? There's one rule I follow every single time, no matter how short on time I am.

In this article, I explain the one adjustment that has saved my ends and helped me retain length during a time when hair is most fragile.

Whether you have fine strands or just want to detangle smarter, it applies to everyone.

The #1 Way to Retain Length

Detangling can be one of the most time-consuming steps in any natural hair regimen. It's also one of the necessary steps that, if not done correctly, will cause you more breakage that's completely avoidable.

If your current detangling process or detangler leaves you frustrated, tangled, or worse. . . .with breaking hair, it’s time to upgrade your process.

I’ve tried countless products, but Ominira Naturals’ Tangle Slayer is one of the few that actually lives up to its name.

Here’s why it's a staple and not just part of some rotation:

  • It has exceptional slip, and there's no need to drench your hair in product
  • It contains premium ingredients like hydrolysed Sweet Almond Seedcake, which is a natural and organic coating agent for the hair that restores its health, so it looks gorgeous after just one use
  • It strengthens while detangling, reducing breakage
  • The lightweight formula doesn’t weigh down fine or low-density hair
  • And most importantly, it cuts wash day time in half, especially when combined with sectioning and finger detangling

👉 Check out Ominira Naturals and try The Tangle Slayer here and see the difference for yourself.

Pro tip: Use it on wet hair while in the shower, detangle in sections, and rinse it out WITH shampoo and lukewarm water for max results. Trust me on this. After you're done detangling, rinse about 40% out, then shampoo your scalp. Then, rinse both out together.
