Things You'll Need
- Mat brush
- Comb
- Scissors
Instructions
Brush the matted hair with a mat brush to remove as much of the matting as possible. Brush the hair around the mat as well. Depending on how bad the matting is, you may be able to completely brush it out.
Stick a comb beneath the mat to create a barrier between the mat and the skin. The comb will help protect the skin from damage.
Place a pair of sharp scissors on top of the comb. Cut the mat off with the scissors. Depending on the size of the mat, you may need to make several tiny snips rather than one big snip.
