Keeping Long Hair From Getting Tangled
This tip is just what the title states! I've listed a small variety of options for keeping your hair in good condition and to hopefully stave off any unwanted tangles or knots when it comes to taking care of your hair.

Avoid Unkempt Hair
If you're prone to getting tangles easily, try avoiding unkempt hair at night. Wear a loose braid (if length allows) before going to bed.
Shampoo and Conditioner
This can benefit any hair type actually, but I added it because it does help for lengthy hair in the long run. When it comes to showering, use shampoo for the top of your head only, massaging gently to the scalp. Conditioner should be used for the ends only. Think of it this way, shampoo strips of the oils and any added chemicals when used on the scalp. Any excess shampoo rinses through the ends of your hair anyway. Conditioner then creates a barrier protecting your ends, which is actually the most vulnerable part of the hair. This way, any tangling is almost resistant because your ends are where those suckers form.
Section Off
Use your hands to section off your hair into parts. Whether it be in half or quarters, this idea can help to make the detangling process a bit more convenient. This is a great idea for fresh out of the shower to an afternoon pamper up.
Starting Point
A good way to start combing out hair for the day is with the ends. Start with your ends and gradually make your way up to the top. This starting point makes it easy to first get rid of those nasty knots. Another thing to remember is not to yank on the hair, but gently comb through. Sure, it takes a little bit of time, but in the end? Oh, it's worth it!
Specialty Comb
For those with long hair who might get tangles or knots quite frequently, consider investing in a fine toothed comb or brush. They are made especially for those irritable messes. They can ease the removal of tangles and knots gentler and safer.
