Adults have a lot of good detanglers to choose from, and at a wide price range. First, if you are using a detangler, consider why. Is it because your hair is quite damaged and perhaps needs some extra upkeep and care? Or is it because you are not using a hair conditioner after each shampoo? If you are using a conditioner and you still need a detangler, try using a thicker, more hydrating conditioner. This should solve the problem.
