Hair Detangler Cream

Size
Product Overview
  • Rich Slip for Stubborn Knots: A thick detangling cream that coats each strand in slip, so combs glide through dense tangles with less tugging.
  • Made for Curls and Coils: A detangler for curly hair that loosens knots where curls and coils wrap together, drying soft with less frizz.
  • Softer Coarse, Thick Hair: Shea Butter cushions coarse, wiry-feeling, high-density hair with rich moisture that lighter formulas tend to skim over.
  • Moisture That Stays In: Doubles as a leave-in detangler, helping dry, brittle-looking lengths feel soft and easier to manage after each wash.
  • Smoother Processed Strands: Hydrolyzed Rice Protein supports the appearance of stronger, smoother strands on color-treated, bleached, and chemically processed hair.
  • Glide Without Silicones: Broccoli Seed Oil brings the slip, not silicones, so hair feels soft and clean instead of coated.
  • A Little Goes a Long Way: This detangling cream is concentrated, so a small scoop covers most lengths. Long, thick hair may take more.
Product Description

Some knots laugh at a quick spritz. This rich detangling cream is made for hair that's curly, coily, thick, or coarse, or simply drier than it used to be. Hair Detangler Cream gives each strand the moisture and slip lightweight sprays can't, so your comb glides instead of snagging, coarse, wiry-feeling grays included.

The base is Aloe Vera Hydrosol instead of plain water. Daikon Radish Seed Extract and Broccoli Seed Oil bring the glide many detanglers get from silicones. Shea, Cocoa, and Mango Butters soften dense, dry-feeling lengths, while Meadowfoam, Macadamia, and Camellia Seed Oils smooth the surface for a soft, natural shine. Hydrolyzed Rice and Jojoba Proteins and Panthenol (Vitamin B5) help color-treated and processed hair look smoother and stronger.

This detangler cream is silicone-free and stays in, so it doubles as a leave-in on wash days. Because it's so rich, it belongs on mid-lengths and ends, never the scalp, where it can leave a greasy feel. Essential oils, including Lavender, Ylang Ylang, and Grapefruit, give it a soft botanical scent.

Benefits
  • Silicone-Free Formula: Slip comes from plant oils, butters, and extracts, not silicones, so nothing coats your strands.
  • Sulfate-Free and Paraben-Free: Made without sulfates or parabens, a gentle choice for color-treated, processed, and dry-feeling hair.
  • No Mineral Oil or Petrolatum: Moisture comes from plant butters and seed oils, never from mineral oil or petrolatum.
  • Scented with Essential Oils: A soft botanical scent from essential oils, with no synthetic fragrance blend added.
  • Rich, Concentrated Texture: A thick, creamy hair detangler for hair that needs more than a light mist.
  • No-Rinse Leave-In Detangler: Apply to damp hair after washing and leave it in. Nothing to rinse out.
  • Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Made without animal-derived ingredients and never tested on animals, for care that feels good.
  • Proudly Made in the USA: Handcrafted in small batches in the USA with plant-based ingredients you can trust.
How to Use
  1. Shampoo and condition, then rinse.
  2. Towel-dry gently until hair is damp.
  3. Work a small amount of detangling cream through mid-lengths and ends, keeping it off the scalp. Use more for longer hair.
  4. Comb with a wide-tooth comb, never a fine-tooth one, starting at the ends and working up.
  5. Leave it in. Style as usual or let hair air dry.
Tips
  • Stubborn knot or braid? Loosen it gently with your fingers first.
  • Fine hair: start with a very small amount.
  • Long or thick hair? Section it first so every part gets enough cream.
  • Want something lighter between washes? Try our Daily Detangler Spray.

FAQs

What is Hair Detangler Cream?

Hair Detangler Cream is a rich, leave-in detangling cream for curly, coily, thick, coarse, or dry hair. It coats each strand in slip so combs glide through knots with less tugging, then leaves hair soft and smoother-feeling. It's built on Aloe Vera Hydrosol, with Shea, Cocoa, and Mango Butters, plant oils, and Hydrolyzed Rice and Jojoba Proteins. It's silicone-free, sulfate-free, and paraben-free.

How does a detangling cream work?

A detangling cream leaves a slippery, cushioning layer on each strand, so hairs slide past one another instead of catching. That makes knots easier to work loose with your fingers or a comb. Many detanglers get their slip from silicones. Hair Detangler Cream gets it from Daikon Radish Seed Extract and Broccoli Seed Oil, with plant butters for richer moisture than a spray can carry.

How do I use Hair Detangler Cream?

After shampooing and conditioning, gently towel-dry until hair is damp. Work a small amount through your mid-lengths and ends, keeping it off the scalp, and use a little more for long or thick hair. Loosen stubborn knots with your fingers, then comb with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working up. Leave it in and style as usual.

Spray or cream: which detangler should I choose?

Choose by texture. Hair Detangler Cream is rich and concentrated, made for curly, coily, thick, coarse, or dry hair that needs moisture along with slip. Our Daily Detangler Spray is a light, watery mist for fine hair, or for quick touch-ups between washes. If a spray barely makes a dent in your knots, reach for the cream. If creams weigh your hair down, choose the spray. Both are silicone-free.

Is it a good detangler for curly hair?

Yes. Curls and coils wrap around each other, so they knot more easily and tend to run dry. This detangler for curly hair adds rich slip and moisture, so knots loosen without raking through your curl pattern. Apply it to damp hair in sections, finger-detangle first, then use a wide-tooth comb from the ends up. Follow with your usual curl cream or gel if you like.

Is it safe for color-treated hair?

Yes. Hair Detangler Cream is made without sulfates, parabens, or silicones, so it's a gentle choice for color-treated, bleached, highlighted, and chemically processed hair. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein helps those strands look smoother and stronger, while plant butters soften porous-feeling ends so they comb through with less snagging.

Can I use it on dry hair?

It works best on damp hair, right after washing, when strands spread the cream evenly and knots loosen more easily. For knots between washes, mist your hair lightly with water first, then use a very small amount on the ends only. If you'd rather detangle completely dry hair, our Daily Detangler Spray is made for that.

Will it make my hair greasy?

Not when it's used the right way. Because it's so rich, keep it on your mid-lengths and ends, never the scalp, where it can leave a greasy feel. Start with a small amount and add more only where knots remain. Fine or thin hair usually needs very little. The Cetyl Alcohol in the list is a fatty alcohol that softens, not a drying one.

Do I need to rinse it out?

No. Hair Detangler Cream is a leave-in detangler, so you apply it to damp hair after shampooing and conditioning and leave it in. It keeps hair soft and easier to manage as it dries, and you can style as usual right after. For extra moisture on dry, wiry-feeling gray hair, follow with our Leave-In Conditioner | Gray Hair.

How do I get knots out of matted hair?

Go slowly and use plenty of slip. On damp hair, work a generous amount of Hair Detangler Cream into the matted section. Hold the hair just above the knot so you don't pull at the scalp, then tease the strands apart with your fingers, a few at a time. Switch to a wide-tooth comb only once the mat starts to loosen, working from the ends up. For severe matting, a stylist can help you save length.

Should I detangle before or after washing?

After, while hair is damp and conditioned. Soaking-wet hair stretches more easily, so towel-dry gently first, then apply a detangler cream for slip. Work in sections, loosen knots with your fingers, and comb from the ends up to the roots, so each knot comes free before you move higher. Skip fine-tooth combs, which snag. A loose braid or satin pillowcase at night keeps tangles down between washes.

Is Hair Detangler Cream vegan, and does it contain nut oils?

It's 100% vegan and cruelty-free, never tested on animals, and free from sulfates, parabens, and silicones. It contains Macadamia Nut and Coconut Oils and Shea and Cocoa Butters, so check the full ingredient list if you have a nut allergy. It comes in 16 oz. and 2 oz. sizes and is made in the USA by Just Nutritive, a family-owned company making natural hair and skin care since 2007.

Best detangler product!

My hair is crazy tangled when I get out of the shower, but the tiniest amount of this cream WORKS! Just rub it in your hands and glide it over your hair. I don't use much at all! In fact, I'm still using my sample! It's magic!

Detangles

I found the product to be a little heavy but does work to help detangle my hair. I have very long hair which is fine but have a lot of it. I'm sure it is also healthy for my hair. You also get a large amount that'll last me forever as you don't want to put too much in. I focus on the ends more than scalp area.

Detangler and Leave-in Conditioner in One!

The reason I love this detangler is that it also a great leave-in conditioner as well. I have kinky-curly 4b, fine hair with high porosity and this works great as a light-weight leave-in conditioner and detangler post washing. It can even be used under butters or creams to style the hair or moisturize the scalp. Please do not change the ingredients! This is one of the only conditioners with natural ingredients AND no fragrance.

Great product!

Used it on my 3 1/2 yr old granddaughter's long. thick hair. Her mom just delivered a newborn & just haven't felt up to the task to comb her hair everyday. Consequently, by the time I got her, it was pretty rough. But, armed with this product, I was able give my granddaughter a hair-do that she loved without the problems I had expected. I'm giving this product to my daughter; she had another baby girl. She's gonna need it!

Awesome!

I have struggled for many years with my mixed daughter and her hair. Her curls are so tight and the tangles were so bad at one point I thought I might have to cut them out. I purchased the Hair Detangler in a last ditch effort. Nothing else worked in my daughters hair! I was pleasantly surprised! Here hair has never been better. I can not live without this stuff! Amazing!

Thank You Just Nutritive

So I really love this product. Just Nutritive really made a great one. The herbal ingredients make this great. Now I’ve always had tangly unmanageable hair. This was a concern and was so painful where I never wanted to comb my hair. After 2 weeks of applying daily I have noticed my hair becoming more manageable and looking better. Now just make sure use watch how much you use. If you use to much if will feel heavy and greasy.

The Best Absolutely

I use to be completely against “natural” products. I absolutely cannot live without this product. This has moisturized my hair and has made it much easier to manage on a daily basis. So happy I was able to find this product. I highly recommend to people with tangled, dry, and frizzy hair. Thanks Just Nutritive for this.

Not Tangled Anymore!

I decided to give this a shot. I have very very tangly hair that takes over a half hour to comb through each day. Using this has changed my life. I feel less stress because I can easily manage my hair now. Only thing I noticed is that is can make your hair feel quite oily if you apply to much.

Hair feels much better

Having wavy tangled hair is a pain to comb through as many women know. In one week I noticed how it really did let the tangles out. My hair feels smoother and just vibrant. Price is not to bad wish it was cheaper.

Great Detanger

This product is the truth. I have very thick hair from root to tip and using a comb at times can be painful. Since using this I quickly have noticed the difference in how much easier it is to comb my hair. When I separate my hair into sections and apply the product I can come through it fairly easy without any pain. My hair feels softer than ever before!

Great deal

I have long, natural hair. I used a dime sized amount and it worked well...my only thought it is did make my hair look a bit oily....but I might have applied it too close to my head. Another thought is that this is a GREAT deal, it will last a long time!

Bought For My Niece

I have a niece that is biracial with thick wavy hair that is dry and very hard to comb. My sister had her hands in the air and she did not know what to do with her hair. She was contemplating on relaxing her hair and I told her to hold on until I found a solution for her. I found that this product on amazon and I was intrigued by it. I went ahead and bought this product. Once it arrived (like about 2 days).
Gave this to my sister the next day and tried it out on my niece. My sister was astonished on how easy it was to style her daughter's hair.

Cuts Down Time and Breakage on Hair

This cream detangler is great at transforming dry, fragile hair to silky soft hair. I always had waist length hair since I was a little girl. Recently, I have had severe breakage and damage due to chemical treating my hair and stress. I was so sad to hear from my stylist said she would have to cut my hair to save it. Once I got out of the salon, I researched treatment to restore my hair. I found this product through your site and Amazon. I bought the detangler, dry shampoo, and conditioner on your site and got free shipping(yay). I could tell you once I use all of your products together, my hair became luxurious and moisturized. Applying the detangler assisted me greatly. The comb had not one hair on it.
