What are tips and tricks to get knots out of your hair?

What I do is brush as is but *very important* starting from the ends detangling them first then detangling higher then higher then higher until you're at the top & you've brushed your whole head (:

I use the kids detangler from suave. It works great!

Brush while it’s wet and has conditioner in it. Not the best for it but it makes it easier.
