Try a ton of conditioner. I once had really detangled hair and I had to use like 8 handfulls of conditioner. So conditioner is your best bet. Be sure to have a comb at your side in the shower.

Then again once I got a comb stuck in my hair (i was 8) and I couldn't get it out (tried everything) so I had to get it cut off. Yeah... never using that comb again. Well at least it's not gum.

I have naturally curly hair and it tangles easily. Best thing for me to do is to take a comb to my hair in the shower and work the conditioner thru the hair with the comb. The water softens the hair...just don't pull too hard! The conditioner slicks the hair and makes it easier to untangle.

Get in the bathtub and put a lot of conditioner on your hair then put your head under the water and use a pick to slowly comb your hair starting at the bottom ends working in small sections moving towards your scalp as the sections become untangled. Do not force or rip at the hair. Stop every once in awhile to add more conditioner. Good luck.

You'll have to wash your hair afterwards, but a little bit of olive oil, or almond oil will make the hair not tangle as much. I find that if i comb my hair when wet (even with detangler) it just bunches and hurts more. If you have it, baby oil also works. Just be sure to wash gently afterwards.

After you wash your hair with shampoo, but on some condition for about ten minutes then wash it off after ten minutes with kind of cool water. Then get out of the shower it should detangle with a wide tooth comb if it doesn't, then put some leave in condition and then comb it out with a wide tooth comb. If you use a brush, the bristles are too close together. Good luck!

I would wet your hair with water either in the shower or under the kitchen faucet and wrap in a towel just enough to absorb the major water then unwrap towel and put a good size dab of hair conditioner in the palm of your hand and rub hands together lightly then massage hands all through your hair and wrap hair back in towel for 3-5 min. then take towel off and starting at the bottom of your hair comb with wide tooth comb and work your way up to your scalp! If you have oily hair you may want to rinse conditioner out with warm water but if not just leave it in until the next time you shampoo! Good Luck!

spray dentangler all throughout your hair so it is pretty evenly distributed.

go into a shower and wet your hair

put enough conditioner in your hand to cover your palm and put it in your hair until your hair feels competley drenched in conditioner

hold half of your hair in your hand and brush the ends until they are detangled ((this is where most of the knots will probably be and holding it lessens the pain on your head))

brush out the other side of your head..

put your head under the running water and brush out the top of your hair while the water is running through it

((this process may require several runs before your hair is know free))...

i do this after every cheer competiion where i have at least 150 tight curlers a whole can of hairspray and EXTREMELY thick hair... so this is a proven method!!

Try using a condition and a fine toothed comb...it will take a while but will be worth it if you don't want to cut your hair...my hair is past my waist and very fine...so sometimes it tangles easy too. I also used that method on two very long haired dogs I rescued years ago..I worked for 22 hours on the one dogs fur...and 24 on the other...not at one time..it took me days! They were very neglected when we got them! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR HAIR !

How do you detangle extremely tangled hair?!?

I had very matted, tangled hair. I read to use a heavy hair grease or olive oil. I tried the olive oil and it made it a little easier but it still hurt so I added lots of my hair conditioner to it and it worked so much better. It took me about an hour or two to comb through the tangles working from bottom to top it was messy but a lot less painful. Use a wide tooth comb first to work out the tangles then your brush. You will have to wash your hair after wards and if you have long hair do not ever pile it on top of your head when washing or conditioning it. It also helps as you are rinsing it out to comb or brush through it. My hair was very soft and well conditioned after I did all this. Good luck!
