Mary I forgot..
try ice on ice by chris christenson... I have used it for years and years.. but with mara.. I shaved her tummy and up her sides underneath some.. makes her hair much easier to comb and I so love it now.. she has so many less knots.. and her hair does not look like I did that..myfairlacy just discovered it awhile ago and loves it.. if you need help.. send me a pm.. anne
