Slippery oils like coconut oil are a great way to loosen knots before detangling. First damp hair then saturate with oil. Let oil sit on hair overnight then finger detangle. If knots are being stubborn, heat olive oil and apply to area to further loosen knot. Adding conditioner also helps. Gently finger comb knotted area from tip to root until comb runs easily through hair. Cutting the knot out should always be the last resort.

I tend to do better with dry hair when removing knots because it doesn't break as easily. Wet or damp hair generally just snaps when I'm attempting to remove knots. Of course with anything in hair care, what works for one may not work for another. Oh and...a safety pin works wonders when attempting to remove pesky knots.
