[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. My child has long hair that is prone to matting. This is what I typically do to break the mats: Wet and out in lots of conditioner Break up with wide toothed comb to extent possible Add coconut oil and work it through the mat as much as possible. Lots of coconut oil. Use the wide toothed comb and fingers to break it up as much as possible. Use good hair scissors to make strategic cuts. If you cut vertically or at a diagonal into the mat, that will help break it without chopping it all off. Keep working at it with your fingers. Definitely recommend T.v or a movie. I am so sympathetic—my kid’s hair mats just from regular sleeping. If she were bed-ridden for an extended time I can imagine how bad it would get. I do it myself because I never found a hairdresser as patient as I am willing to be with it. Good luck![/quote]
