Single-Strand Knots - Don't Pull Them!

When I first heard of single-strand knots, I didn't know what they were. Of course, it was some kind of knot, but didn't things get "knotted" when tangling? Wouldn't there need to be 2, like at least 2 strands to tangle? The answer is no, knots can happen all on their own.


As we all know, if you don't detangle your hair properly, your hair will get tangled and frizzy because you're not smoothing the cuticle. You would also know to detangle your hair by starting at the ends of your hair (where most of the tangles are) and working your way up. In the same respect, single strand knots are always at the ends. You will feel the knot with your fingers.

Here is a close-up of what the single-strand knot looks like:

And a word of caution, please don't use your nails to pull at the knot (like I did) assuming it will only take the end. It will grab your whole hair strand right out of the root. The knot is pretty strong, see below!

Instead, please grab your trimming scissors and snip right above the knot. The Search & Destroy Method!

Multiple Accounts in Instagram

I found a miraculous way to manage both of my Instagram accounts in the Instagram app itself! No more having to download an app to ensure I can use these 2 accounts of mine. I hated having to sign out of Instagram in one account, sign into the other and constantly going back and forth. So here is the solution: To add other accounts into your Instagram: Open Instagram > Options > Add Account > Sign into other account > Account Added To switch between multiple accounts in Instagram: In Instagram, Tap on account name at the top > Select desired account Visual below:  Step 1: Add Account Step 2: Switch Account So easy and I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon it! I'm hoping this will help other business owners who manage multiple accounts such as their personal and business. This will help me post on Instagram more frequently.
