    Default detangling a sewn in weave

    Help! yesterday I washed and conditioned my sewn in weave, and I didn't brush it out right away. So now it is kind of tangled and matted in the back. I just had it put in a week ago, and I really don't want to take it out yet, but I don't know what to do, because it is like one big knot and I am having a really hard time getting it out. I am willing to take any suggestions on getting this knot thingy out.

    Hmm. Wash it again and make sure to put in a good detangling shampoo, make sure to leave a little in, and make sure to use some good detangler once your get out of the shower. Comb it out and wrap it up to dry (or blow dry it with a brush).

    Work some jojoba oil into it, then start with a comb at the ends and work your way up. Then rewash and condition.

    Boar bristled brushes (say that three times real fast, lol) work well in detangling dry hair. Do NOT use one on wet hair, and I can't speak to whether they are good on weaves, but when my real hair gets super tangled from too much teasing I use one and go slowly. It will get any tangle out. Just start at the bottom and go slowly.

    I went through this one time and it's a pain in the ass...The only thing that worked was lots of pantene conditioner and one of those big flat brushes that have the plastic covered bristles.. can't remember what they're called...and when I was done I made sure I got that bad boy done just to make sure it didn't happen again....now if I'm gonna wash it and leave it wet I'll put some leave-in in and braid it so it won't mangle up

    if it is behind your head, may I suggest a bottle of No More Tangles, a wide tooth comb, and a very patient friend
