I started a thread a while back about my matted hair fiasco (I'm natural). I don't think I mentioned that I ended up using a small safety pin to work out many of the knots. Now IDK about single strand but this works for those tight multi-strand knotted areas. Sometimes you get to a point where you're sure you will have to cut the knot out. I say when all else fails give this a try. Using a little castor oil, stick the pin/needle through the center of the knot. There may be a little lint or shed hair that is glued together. Work the needle around until the hair separates.
I'm still trying to prevent these bad boys now that my hair is longer but in the meantime this has worked for me. *The needle did not cut the hair.

I absolutely concur, I use a safety pin all the time whilst detangling and it's fantastic. Great post.
