My daughter is the same way, the best thing that worked for her was Cholesterol, you can find it in the ethnic hair care aisle of any drug store. I didn't use it as per the directions though. I use to wash her hair, condition it, then put the Cholesterol on and gently comb out the knots, then rinse it out. Worked beautifully and her hair was always beautiful and shiny. The product is made for African Americans, but works beautifully on any types of hair.
Ohh and to add, the container is only like 2.00.. its cheap and a little goes along way.

Use pantene moisterizing conditioner,I know it WILL burn her eyes,but just get a wash cloth,and have her put it on her eyes,AND LOOK all the way up to the ceiling,and by all means make sure her eyes are SHUT TIGHT!
Thats what I have to do with my daughters too!
My oldest daughter's hair is 21 inches long and very thick and knots are an every day thing,but the conditioner really does help alot!
Good luck 1

i have long thick hair and i get knots all the time! When it gets really bad i take a shower and work a bunch of conditioner into my hair...way more then normal...and i take a brush and brush it through my hair. For some reason when the hair is wet with conditioner in it it realy doesnt hurt to brush it!! Then i just rinse like normal. It works very well and really helps. You can also try cutting her hair....the shorter my hair is the less knots i get.

Use detangler, start out the bottom of the hair and unknot it in small sections, then work up the head. As you are unknotting the hair, make sure you have a decent grip (not too much, not too little) on the hair inbetween what you are untangling and her scalp so that if you have to slightly pull, then your hand can absorb some of the pain.

Comb through the hair with conditioner in it before rinsing. Dab hair dry as opposed to towel drying it by "scrubbing". Use a light leave in conditioner after dabiing hair dry and comb through.
NEVER use a brush on wet hair. Wet hair is fragile and hair will break with a brush.

Perhaps using what used to be called an 'afro' comb - very wide toothed - my sister uses thi son her daughters long hair and it seems to help a lot, especially when used in combination with the conditioner on wet hair!

try using conditioner that you would use while in the shower just put a little in her dry hair and work it in. Or try conditioning her hair in the bath tub before trying to brush it.

CUT IT! Keeping it shorter until they can manage it themselves is far less stressful or traumatic.
