Best way to get knots out of hair?

After being sick and primarily bed ridden for months, my hair is full of knots. The last time I tried to get the knots out, it was pretty painful and I wound up cutting them out with a scissors.

If necessary, I will just cut the knots out, then go to a hair salon and get my hair cut short in layers. That might be my answer. But...does anyone here have any ideas or techniques for dealing with extreme hair knots?

Put something slippery in your hair such as V05 Oil treatment ( pretty cheap at Walgreens.) Or Conditioner

Put a towel over your shoulders because you may need some time to very gently work your fingers thru your hair.
You have to be very patient.
You can also use a wide tooth comb to assist but you have to very slowly start from the edges of where the knot is.
Do not yank on the knot from the top with the comb.
