I use a detangling spray..in all honesty it does next to bugger all but SHE believes it does so is far more patient while I got at the matted bits with a comb. The other thing I do when it is really bad is to wash it loads of conditioner then comb with conditioner still in and a wide toothed detangling comb.

I have VERY curly hair and suffer a lot like this when it is long and the best thing is to just got at it firm but not rough until the tugs and matted bits are gone.

When it is sorted - make sure you plait it before bed (if she is old enough)

Agree with above as a tatty head myself! Conditioner and plaits is the way to go.
