How Do I Deal With Single-Strand Knots?
The first thing you should focus on when trying to rid your hair of these tiny knots is moisture! "Use a product that has moisture in it and that's going to hydrate and soften the hair," Sturdivant-Drew said. "Massage some conditioner on the hair and watch how easily it'll detangle so you can get through it." Sturdivant-Drew recommends using a conditioner like TSD Hair Flower Extract Conditioner ($25), which is infused with keratin and proteins to smooth and strengthen the hair shaft.
Also, on the subject of detangling, you should be regularly detangling your hair while it's wet using a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush like the Tangle Teezer ($9). Per Sturdivant-Drew's advice, when detangling, you should always start at the ends of the hair and slowly work your way up to your roots.
