What's the best way to detangle ultra-tangled long hair?

I used to have long thick hair that took me literally hours to detangle. There really is no easy way out. Shampoo with a gentle shampoo and apply a very thick conditioner. (Herbal Essences, Pantene) Rinse it out. Take a wide tooth detangling comb and spray some detangling spray in your hair (I loved Sunsilk Thermashine Spray!) Then, gently detangle from the ends up. This greatly helps the whole process. I now have a super short pixie so I no longer have to deal with the whole thing.

Ok so over the summer my hair was soooo matted that it felt like there was gum in there! No joke!

Tell her she need to spray a whole bunch or detangling spray like Johnson and Johnson's No more tangles spray in there and try and comb. Yes its for babies, but it works great.

Tell her to comb as best as she can. Then wet the hair and shampoo it with moisturizing shampoo. Then comb it some more. You HAVE to keep combing, I screamed and cried but it was well worth it! Condition her hair with a loooooooooot of conditioner. Put a shower cap on and have her put the blow dryer on low and "blow dry" her hair while its conditioning. The heat helps the conditioner. After like 15-20 minutes (you dont have to constantly blow dry) wash it out. Make sure you comb more every now andthen while the condtioner is rinsing out. Then squeeze the water out (dont twist it!!) and just comb comb comb comb. Once it is combed out let her hair air dry. Make sure she puts a detangling spray and leave in conditioner in her hair! Once it is air dryied, flat iron her hair. This is an alternitive to cutting her hair. It works every time! Good Luck!!
