Where did all these knots come from?

Here's what causes knots, how a detangling spray fixes it, and which Paul Mitchell formula is perfect your hair.

Four reasons hair knots up

Environmental factors like wind and humidity

Chemical damage from colouring and treatments

Friction from brushing and styling

Natural hair texture and porosity

Spray vs. conditioner

Rinse-out Conditioner

Smooths the cuticle while it's on the hair, but that effect fades once you step out of the shower.

Leave-in Detangling Spray

Stays in the hair, so slip is there whenever you need it — reapply after a swim, before bed, or first thing in the morning.

How to use detangling spray properly

1
Spray mid-lengths to ends

Spray mid-lengths to ends

This is where most knots form and where hair is most prone to breakage.

2
Keep it off the roots

Keep it off the roots

Avoid the scalp unless the formula is designed for it, to prevent hair looking flat.

3
Comb, don't brush, when wet

Comb, don't brush, when wet

Use a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working upward in sections.

4
Reapply through the day

Reapply through the day

A light mist restores slip, no need to saturate hair in one go.

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes, most formulas work on both damp and dry hair, though application on damp hair generally distributes more evenly.

  • Used sparingly and focused on mid-lengths to ends, it shouldn't. Over-application near the roots is the most common cause of hair looking flat.

  • Generally yes, though it's worth checking the specific formula if colour vibrancy is a priority, as with any leave-in product.
