How to clean hair from a gold chain?

How to remove a chain without harming your hair?
A gold chain can cause trouble for the owner of an elongated hairstyle or loose long hair when wearing the accessory and especially when removing it from the neck. Hairs get caught between the links, get tangled, and are pulled out by the roots. This can be very unpleasant. Usually such problems arise with chains of special weaving - “Snake”. They are quite thin, the links are small.
In order not to experience painful sensations, a long-haired girl, when putting a gold accessory on her neck, should put her strands in a high hairstyle. And if your hair remains loose, then when removing the jewelry you need to carefully lift it and move it to the side. Hold them with one hand, and carefully unfasten and remove the chain with the other. If you can’t do it yourself, you should turn to your family for help.
