I’ve been finding quite a lot of tiny knots in my hair, that you cannot undo…it’s not physically possible…unless you get a needle or a pin and manage to undo it.
Does anyone else get these? Is it a sign of something? i.e. should wash and comb everyday? A result of friction?
It’s just really annoying, because you can’t get rid of them unless you cut them off.

Thanks in advance!

I get these all the time.

I think its just a case of friction and the hair getting knotty. I only comb out my hair when it’s wet and finger comb the rest of the time, so I think that’s the cause of mine!

It’s called Trichonodosis, but I just get the scissors to mine and cut them out - problem over! Make sure you use super sharp hairdressing scissors for this though, and not the blunt ones from your kitchen drawer!
