How Do You Get Rid Of Tangled Hair?

My friends hair is really thick and long andI spend hours brushing it, I told her to wash her hair one day as normal but do not rinse the conditioner out and leave it all day or night until it dries, rinse whilst combing (brushes will break and damage the hair) and always wear it in a plete (plat you know) as it will prevent it knotting, do this once a week or every two weeks and it should help.

  Try to prevent tangles from forming as much as possible, so that you don't have to work as hard to get rid of new ones. Whenever your child is active, pull her long hair back into a braid so that her hair doesn't swing around and get knotted up. If your child is a rough sleeper, braiding her long hair at night can make your morning routine much simpler, too.             You can also use Tangle Teezer

Matted/ Tangled hair is such a big headache.

Since her hair seems like such an extreme case of severely tangled/matted hair, you might want to try this product called the Take Down Remover Cream. It removes dreadlocks,but it works well with very matted/tangled hair. Dreadlocks are just long strands of uncombed matted hair. Most hairdressers just want to cut the hair when it is severely matted or tangled.

Try to put oil or water in her hair then try to comb or brush it.!!

I used to have the same problem what I did was:

A.) Condition my hair in the morning - so wash it

b.) brush with a wide toothed come ( not normal brush because your hair stretches when wet, and It will cause breakage)

c.) when you have it all pretty and nice apply some productions such as a leave in conditioner I recommend that! (Redken products for sure), a de-frizz serum not sprays - most make your hair dry, etc.
I like Redken products they work with any look you need and they help with such problems.

D.) Blow dry your hair with brushes such as Thermal Round Brush OR Thermal Flat Brush (use thermal ones, others will not work because those are used with and for heat) depending on the look you want. Also when you Blow dry your hair  flip your head over and start from the back where the tangles start.

E.) NO MORE TANGLES! =)

When your in the shower and you have the conditioner in, brush it in the shower then when you get out try not to put the towel wrapped around you hair that just mashes it together. ANd brush it everyday!!!

I have a very thick, super curly afro.  I where my hair natural and it get tangled EVERY day.  I use a really good conditioner with moisturizing formula for curls to allow me to comb through it easily with a wide-tooth comb.  If she's not too young, you may want to have her comb her own hair.  Another tip is to comb from the ends to the root and hold the hair in your hands so as not to tug at the scalp.
