That’s usually what works there are after bath detangling products, but I don’t find any that great. there is definitely conditioners that are meant for detangling and Loreal makes somethinv called Wonder Water? And there’s another one that has an eight on the bottle you can get it at any drugstore or supermarket.
It’s in a clear bottle with a squeeze top, and it seems almost like it’s water and make your head feel kind of warm, but I think you’re only supposed to use it on the back and ends. I find makes hair really slippery.
Make sure you get all the regular conditioner out because my son used to get dreadlocks in the back of his curly hair, because I’d leave some of the conditioner by mistake, and it would make the hair clump easily.

I used to have a resident that had very matted hair. Get loads of conditioner and lift the hair and get small pin tail and brush it out but little section at a time maybe in front of her favourite TV programme

Thank you all so much! When she broke her arm last year, my mother and I took her to a specialty salon for kids (and had staff trained on how to work with kids with autism) called Snip-It’s. Worst mistake ever! Hairdresser told my mom and I to hold my child down while she ripped the brush through her hair. Six years old, one arm in a cast, and she broke my mom’s glasses, had my face bleeding from scratches, and moved those bones in her arm so badly she needed a 2nd surgery to reset and recast! The salon was two hours away so gas money and paid them to torture all three of us. It was awful! If that’s what I wanted done, I would have done it myself. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Take her to good hairdresser???
