Imania Beauty’s Redo Detangling and Defining brush is making the detangling process easier than ever.
All wash day routines are not created equal. However, detangling curly hair is a non-negotiable for any person who is blessed to have it. After all, tangled, matted curls could result in damaged hair. Although there are many methods to detangling, this part of wash day is more than raking through a crown of curls irresponsibly—it requires the right tools and products.
According to Nia Imani, founder of Imania Beauty, the amount of effort it takes to detangle hair has nothing to do with texture. “It really is about keeping your hair in a healthy and hydrated state,” Imani says. “The more dehydrated your hair is, the more difficult it can be, period.”
Imani’s desire to make the detangling process easier for clients influenced the release of her brand’s first tool: the Redo Detangling and Defining Brush.
True to its name, the brush is for detangling and defining curls of any texture. It is important to understand the emphasis put on the brushes versatility is to draw attention to hair education. Other popular industry brushes—such as the denman brush, which should be used for styling instead of detangling—are typically used incorrectly, causing the detangling process to be unnecessarily complicated.
Imania Beauty’s Redo Detangling and Defining process is here to simplify the part of wash day, most people with curly hair want to avoid either due to pain, time consumption or both. “I want people to be as comfortable as possible in the salon,” Imani says. “I also wanted to create a tool that people can use themselves at home with that same amount of ease.”
Instagram videos of the lime-green brush show Imani demonstrating how her debut tool leaves no curl tangled, creating a smooth and seamless process for detangling wet hair. The stylish Redo Detangling and Defining Brush is compactly made and fitted with firm bristles that won’t snag any strands but gentle enough to provide a satisfying scalp scratch.
“Give it a try, it will definitely help out in your routine,” Imani says. “ If you’re tender-headed, this is definitely the brush for you, if you’re in the market for a new brush and want a brush with versatility, this is definitely going to be for you.”
Nia Imani’s Best Practices for Detangling:
- Work in sections small enough to encourage gentleness throughout the detangling process
- Do not detangle on dry hair. The hair needs to be saturated with water or hydrating liquid. If this detangling process is coming after a protective style take down, use oils as well
- Add some conditioner with a lot of slip. Start from the bottom of the hair shaft. Imani recommends holding the section of hair in the middle of the shaft, working those tangles out and then working your way up the shaft of the hair.
