While there are literally thousands of articles out there claiming to have the best solutions for removing nasty hair tangles, not everything works. And hence we have compiled the most effective and tested steps for you to work out at the lowest investments ever.
Jaborandi & Brahmi Oil, apple cider vinegar, baking soda & conditioner, yogurt & honey, green tea, henna, and avocado & olive oil are some of the best home remedies for de-tangled hair.
Jaborandi and Brahmi Oil
Known to be a highly effective elixir for luscious hair manes, Jaborandi and Brahmi are second to none. While the former is nature’s gift for extreme conditioning of the hair, the latter is popular for its working against scalp issues. Thus, using this mixture to regularly massage your head offers ample benefits to both your scalp as well as hair.
So, as a result, the hair grows stronger and smoother, eradicating the risks of messy and tangled hair after a night of good rest. Moreover, given their calming smell, a good massage ensures a good REM schedule while helping tone down agitated nerves.

Filled with the goodness of acetic acid, rinsing your hair with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water acts as a long-lasting conditioner which can easily give you tangle-free hair for many days at one go.

Yogurt and Honey
Featuring the goodness of two healthy food items, yogurt consists of essential vitamins, including Vitamin B5 and Vitamin D while honey has natural conditioning properties. Together they both form an amazing, sweet-smelling concoction which on regular usage proves to be super moisturizing and strengthening for our hair cuticles.
To make this mixture, you will need one tablespoon of both honey and yogurt. Stir the components thoroughly before putting the all-natural hair masque on your hair roots. Make sure every nook and corner is covered and leave it on for 45-55 minutes. Once it starts to dry, rinse off the masque to get silky-smooth, knot-free hair. You can always increase the content measurement based upon your hair length.
Green tea
Apart from offering you with a healthy, glowing, detoxified skin, green tea is also reported to come bearing a myriad of benefits for hair. Loaded with many essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, proper usage of green tea is also linked with heightened hair growth, strength and smoother hair texture.
So, if you are a regular user of green tea, you can use the tea leaves to make up a cup of freshly-brewed cup and wait for it to cool down. Never and I mean NEVER EVER make the mistake of pouring down the fluid when it’s hot on your precious mane. As it will only end up creating more serious consequences. Your hair will not only be exposed to extremely hot temperatures, but the scalp may also suffer from severe burns.
Therefore, once it has completely cooled off or is tolerably warm, massage your head with the green tea and finally wash it off with running cold water. Doing this regularly will definitely give you amazing results that you could have never thought of previously.
Henna
Since centuries, Indian women have been a fan of the all-natural Henna, also known as Mehendi, and not for some dumb reason. You may be shocked to know that even modern science acknowledges the fact that using Henna (derived from natural Henna leaves) makes hair stronger, silkier, and more resistant to constant stress and anxiety levels. Additionally, it also gives a mesmerizing red tinge to your hair, so there is no need to dye further.
Thus, if you have been facing constant knotting and hair fall issues, henna is no wonder your best option. This lovely smelling plant product can be used with water or added with coconut and olive oil before applying and later washed off with regular shampoo. And the good news is that, using henna once a month is more than enough to give your hair the overall protection and care it needs.
Avocado and Olive Oil
Avocados and Olive oil, nature’s wonder and two most healthy and useful kitchen ingredients, using them have been proven to be quite advantageous to hair. These two components are rich with Omega 3 fatty acids, natural oils and everything good, so unlike man-made hair cosmetics, they don’t take away essential moisture from your hair at the end.
Hence to use them, making a smooth paste with a ripe avocado and 3 tablespoons of olive oil is best advised. You can scoop out the fleshy inside of the avocado with a spoon or scooper and add it with the oil to give it a firm base. Later apply it directly to the knot area, let it sit for a few minutes, before finally rinsing it off with a little shampoo. Doing this will help you tangle free hair instantly and without needing any tag or pulls.
Baking soda and Conditioner
Finally, ending the list with an amalgamation between baking soda and conditioner, using the mixture keeps your hair clean, knot-free and easy to manage. However a little too much baking soda can have serious consequences on your hair and hence following a proper concentration of both the items is a must.
So, if you are using baking soda and conditioner, always take the contents in a 1:3 ratio, with one tablespoon of the baking soda and three tablespoons of any good-quality conditioner. This way, your hair won’t seem frizzy after you have cleared out the knots. Once applied, let it sit for at least five minutes, and follow it up with a thorough combing with a wide-mouthed hair brush or rinse it off, and say goodbye to tangles.
