I have extremely matted hair! it’s really bad it causes headaches when down and is too painful to pull up into a bun or a ponytail. It is also painful to brush and wash. i’ve tried conditioner and lube but nothing works. i don’t know what to do.

1Can you include a photograph? You can hide your face if you want, but if we could see your hair we could probably give you better suggestions.– BrettFromLACommented Jan 28, 2019 at 20:35

How about cutting it short? (I just don't see why you'd keep it long if it is so problematic.)

That may not be a viable solution, due to social constraints. The OP may be female (considering the username), and in a number of societies and subcultures, a woman having short hair can send social cues that she may not want to send. Even if it's just personal preference, it's good to know how if there's a solution that may not be as onerous as the routes you've already tried. Commented Feb 7, 2019 at 17:02
I had this same issue until I began to comb the conditioner through my hair (before I rinsed the conditioner out). Over time, I suggest that you begin to use a conditioner that deep conditions once a week or so (it is worth the extra cost), and leave it in your hair, to prevent this issue. I no longer get small mats in my hair at all, and I no longer have to comb conditioner through my hair.
