" We were de-tangling with the comb, but if you do not have a wide tooth comb like this then you can use a brush, a paddle brush is great. Something like this cushion-y and you can do the same thing again, you can go ahead and go from the bottom, all the way up holding the hair nice and tight. Grabbing it around like this, climbing up, untangling the hair, and going to the sides also doing the same. And the paddle brush is very smooth and easy on the hair. You want to go ahead and if you have shorter hair, you want to divide the hair all of the time, but if you have shorter hair you do not have to divide it. Just go from the sides again, use a paddle brush and you might not need a wide tooth comb and you will untangle the hair for a nice hairstyle and it will help a great deal. "

on 5/24/2009 Great video Liz, Tangled hair is such a big problem in the hair care industry. It is sometimes not taken as seriously as it should. No matter what race you are or what your hair texture is, everybodys hair can get tangled.
For really exteme cases of severely tangled/matted hair, "birds nest" , knots, balls of matted hair or clumps of tangled hair-There is a product on the market 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 .
We are so fustrated with the downplayed issue of Tangled Hair with kids, men, parents, longterm care patients, and women. We provide the service of detangling and advice-but it is not enough.
Infact, Pet owners have the same problems with matted pet fur
Tangled hair should be taken seriously. Most hairdressers just want to cut the hair when it is serverly matted or tangled. We are trying to save hair.
We get distress calls and emails from people all over the world. They tell us that their dear hairdressers just want to cut their hair off. Mothers don’t know what to do with their daughters matted hair-that is getting worse by the day. People healing from longterm hostpital stays have the same problems with their hair.
Education on Tangled Hair Issues are needed dearly.
Thanks again for the video
