@steffypoox3 I understood your photo.  It does need a lot of hydration/slip to be able to work the knot.

Make sure to voice, repeatedly if needed or repeated back to you- to make sure they understand; do not cut the knot out completely, only cut as necessary and you approve..or whatever you want to say. Good luck.

im going to tell you what helped me.i had awfully matted tangled hair. Im hoping this will help someone else. Yes i suffer from depression, have two major illness, and chronic pain. My hair ended up where i couldnt get a comb or brush through it. I tried oils, creams, conditioners, and nothing worked so in a last ditch effort i ordered a dog hair dematter  comb. It only cuts the tangles and matts. I was able to get all the tangles out using that comb. I dont think i could have gotton them out any other way. I felt so much better getting the matts out. I know it sounds strange using a dog dematter comb but ìt worked wonderfully.

Please don’t use a dog dematter comb - not if you want any hair left. It cuts through the tangles. Please order/pick up Redken All Soft Heavy Cream. Apply to semi damp hair - slather the whole tube on if you need too - it WILL allow you to work your way through the mats and tangles. Order two tubes to be safe. Hairstylist here.
