As a nappy, no matter how you wear your hair, tangles and knots are simply inevitably. And as you know, the detangling process itself can create knots that weren’t even there to begin with — so what’s a nappy to do?

I’ve also tried moisturizer to soften them up and create maximum slippage (ha! is that a word?) thus making it easier to pull the knots apart and detangle my hair. But all of this is time consuming and can be very frustrating to say the least and on occasion, I’ve just gotten so fed up that I just gave up and cut the knot out.
