I have em, if you didnt notice. For fucking 13 years and havent been cut, combed once.
and you can wash em. do it with bar soap. that has no other stuff to get stuck in em.

so jus lett it do its thing. It will clump more if you are active and sweat and bounce it while running. it will get salt chrystals to tangle them and then they leave when in water leaving baby locks
