Sorry for ot post but hope someone will be able to help me here.

I have a lady who has been unwell for a while and unfortunately has developed a horrendous and rather large "birds nest" knot in her hair. She has long hair (near to waist), the tight part of the tangle is prob the size of a clenched fist and is tight to the nape of her neck.

Any advice please on how she could go about dealing with it without cutting her hair?

Thank you

Not to put you off, but that's a perfect question for the internet.
You can have dozens of answers in seconds. I Googled "remove knot
from hair" and got 999,000 results (in .29 seconds Google tells me.)

Ohh, looking forward to any advice because my nearly 3yr old has something similar and won't let me near her hair except to put it up out of her eyes on occasion. Is there a miracle product that untangles....any hairdresser out there who has had someone with....dreadlocks maybe....that they could untangle or is it at the just cut it out and start again stage (which is fine with my 3yr old but maybe not with your client/patient/friend).

Hello,

I had waist length hair and have also had a "bird's nest". What worked
for me was to detangle it in the shower. I shampooed and then
conditioned my hair I used Pantene conditioner that came in a tub/jar
and slowly oh so slowly worked the conditioner into the knot and used
a wide toothed comb to get the knots out.

It is a slow and uncomfortable process but unavoidable if you do not
want to cut it. You could also try the children's detangler spray. It
may work but I have not used it.

Good luck

Try nattydreds.com. I'm pretty sure that is the domain name but if it doesn't work try googling "natty dreds" they carry a product for releasing dredlocks. It will take patience and working with a comb and she will likely need others to help her.
