Whatever you do, DON'T brush your hair forcefully when you get knots. Move the brush slowly. It takes a lot longer, but causes less damage to your hair. To prevent them, use a detangling conditioner such as this one http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/motions-weightless-detangling-conditioner/ID=prod1598036-product
