Hard Matted Hair Knots Are Like Painful Foot Calluses

 

 

It may seem strange, but it makes sense.  Matted hair is like a foot callus.

They are both similar in so many ways.  Not only are they both eye soars- one to the head and the other to the foot.

They are both so painful.  The callus tightens on the bottom of the foot.  Matted tangled hair tightens on the scalp and pulls on the scalp.  

You can get headaches and can not sleep.  Calluses can be so painful you can't walk or wear certain shoes. 

A callus Is nature’s way of protecting the skin from damage and infection. Complete removal of a callus is a medical procedure that should not be performed in the nail salon. 

Matted tangled hair can be a consequence salon mistakes or many emotional and depressing issues in the life.  Matted hair Dematting and Detangling services should not be performed by medical personnel.

A callus gets worse as time goes on-if untreated; so does matted tangled hair.  

What is a callus filled with?

The formation of a callus is caused by an accumulation of dead skin cells that harden and thicken over an area of the foot.  Calluses (Keratoderma).  Keratoderma is the medical term used to describe thick calluses on the bottom of the feet and on the palms of the hands. 

The medical term for matted hair is plica neuropathica or plica polonica. These terms refer to a condition where hair becomes tangled and intertwined, forming a solid, matted mass. Other terms used to describe this condition include "bird's nest hair," "felted hair," or "acute hair matting"

What is matted hair filled with?

The formation of a matted tangled hair clump is filled with balls and webs of dry hair rolled on itself-into knots.

A callus is a thickened area of skin that forms in response to repeated friction or pressure, serving as a protective layer against irritation or damage, most commonly found on the feet or hands. 

Matted hair is a thickened area of hair that forms in response to uncombed hair, repeated rolling, friction on certain areas of hair, serving as a protective layer on top of the scalp against irritation.

·                What they are:

Calluses are essentially hard, thick patches of skin that develop when the outer layer of skin thickens to protect the underlying bone and tissue. 

·                Where they occur:

They often appear on areas of the body that experience frequent pressure or friction, such as the heels, balls of the feet, palms, and knees. 

·                Causes:

Repeated friction or pressure on the skin is the primary cause of callus formation. 

·              Appearance:

Calluses can appear as yellowish, flat, hard layers of dead skin, and may be less sensitive to the touch than surrounding skin. 

·                Corns:

While calluses are larger and more spread out, corns are a type of small, cone-shaped callus that can be painful, especially when pressed. 

·               Symptoms:

Calluses are often painless, but if they become large or cause discomfort, they can be a nuisance. 

·                Treatment:

In most cases, calluses are harmless and can be managed with home remedies like soaking the affected area in warm water and using a pumice stone or file to gently reduce the thickness. 

·                When to seek medical advice:

If a callus becomes painful, infected, or causes other complications, it's important to seek medical advice. 

If matted hair becomes painful, itchy, or causes other complications.  It is crucial to seek professional hair detanglers.

Corns and calluses are both thickened areas of skin, but corns are smaller, deeper, and typically found on the top or sides of toes, while calluses are larger, flatter, and often develop on the bottom of the foot or hands in response to pressure or friction. 

Here's a more detailed explanation:

·                 What they are:

Both corns and calluses are a natural defense mechanism of the skin, forming as a response to repeated pressure or friction. 

·                Location:

·                  Corns: Tend to form on the top or sides of toes, often on bony areas. 

               Calluses: Typically develop on areas of the foot that experience constant pressure, such as the heels or balls 

                                                    of the feet, or on the hands.      

        ·         Appearance:

·                Corns: Can be hard or soft, with a hard core surrounded by inflamed skin. They can be painful when pressure  is applied. 

·                Calluses: Are usually painless unless subjected to continued pressure or friction, and appear as thick,  dry patches of skin. 

·                 Causes:

·                 Both: Repeated pressure or friction, often from ill-fitting shoes or repetitive activities. 

·                 Corns: Can also be caused by bunions or hammertoes. 

·                 Treatment:

·                 

Both:       Can be treated by soaking the area in warm water, gently removing thickened skin with a pumice stone or                           emery board, and applying moisturizing creams. 

·                  Both: Wearing properly sized and shaped footwear, and avoiding activities that cause excessive pressure  

                          or friction can help prevent them. 

·                     Corns: May require professional treatment, such as cutting away the core of the corn, especially if they

                      are painful or causing problems. 

Causes Of Matted Hair

Dirt, sweat, and not combing can cause matted hair. It can also result from using certain hair products or techniques, contributing to tangles and knots like too much styling or hair sprays.   

People don't know that Matted hair can also be a symptom of underlying health issues, such as Plica neuropathica AKA polonica, which can affect the hair's natural texture and moisture levels. In these cases, matted hair results from a medical condition, not a lack of personal hygiene.   Another misconception is that people with matted hair have a foul smell because the foul smell can happen due to your bad soap, shampoo or conditioner. There is nothing to link with matted hair or critics someone that is not neat, lazy or careless.

 

How To Detangle Matted Hair

 Here are some different ways we are going to mention that you can use to detangle your matted hair recommended by tangle hair experts:

1.  Take Down Remover Detangler Cream

Using A Pin-Tail Comb For Detangling

To use the detangler cream: 

1.    Start by applying  large amount to the hair in sections.

2.    Use your fingers and pin tail comb to work the product through the matted tangles, starting at the ends of the hair and working your way up to the roots.

3.    Be patient and take your time, as detangling matted hair can be time-consuming.

 

Once you have worked the detangler cream through the matted tangles, wait for some time and then wash your hair.

 Make sure to use very warm water and gently rinse remove take down remover cream from your hair. Then shampoo Keep in mind, With patience, you can effectively detangle matted hair and return to your original, great-looking, healthy hair.

 This will help to soften the hair, making it easier to detangle with the comb. Then, use the comb or brush to gently work through the tangles, starting at the ends of the hair and working your way up to the roots.  It's important to be patient and take your time when detangling matted hair, as rushing can cause pain and damage to the hair.  While using a brush, try not to hurry and do it as gently as you can because if you do it faster, like we use a comb in normal hair, this may damage your hair. However, you can also use your fingers to work with your comb/brush in this process.

 

 

Is Your Hair Irreversibly Matted? Clinical Science Believes Matted Hair is Irreversible

 While experimental dermatology views cases of hair matting as rare, but important and alarming, acquired hair disorder. Science researchers develop a mathematical understanding of detangling that could be used for textile manufacturing, robotic hairdressers-i.e MATH AND SCIENCE OF MATTED HAIR

They liken matted hair to hair felting.  Felting” is the term commonly used in wool and textile industry. Felting technology is used to felt wool, acrylic, and synthetic fibers. The wool fibers or animal hairs are exposed to rotating combs and they are pressed to align into fine layers in a hot liquid medium. Following which the animal hairs or fibers sticks together, they are compressed in a oscillatory plates and heat applied to become felted permanently as a single piece of fabric.

According to their synopsis, acute hair felting is a rare disorder of scalp hair. In this condition, the hair becomes twisted, entangled as a hard stony mass resembling a bird's nest. Sudden hair matting has been reported earlier in the literature after vigorous use of chemical and herbal shampoos. Plica polonica is a patchy area of hair matting occurring in due course of time in neglected hair or underlying psychiatric illness. This case is interesting as the whole scalp hair matted immediately after using coconut oil and castor oil following washing. Growing long hair and taking oil bath are cultural and religious customs in South India. The high viscosity of castor oil and long hair had contributed to sudden felting of hair. This disorder of hair is irreversible and the hair should be cut off. Acute nature of this disorder will result in a serious psychological impact on the patient and the family.

We do know that hair tangles can occur when friction between individual hair strands caused by non combing/brushing,  dryness, damage, and the natural curvature of the hair, where the hair cuticle layer rubs against each other, creating knots, especially when hair is dry and lacks moisture; this friction is amplified in curly or wavy hair textures which naturally have more bends and twists, making them more prone to tangles.  Key factors contributing to tangled hair:

·         Dryness:

When hair is dehydrated, the cuticle scales lift, increasing friction between strands and causing them to easily intertwine. 

·         Hair texture:

Curly and wavy hair naturally has more bends, leading to increased contact points between strands and higher likelihood of tangles. 

·         Damage:

Damaged hair, whether from heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental factors, can have frayed cuticles which further contribute to friction and knotting. 

Do not become discouraged or frustrated.  Professional hair detanglers prove this daily.  Your hair is worth the work to detangle and save.

The honest truth is that Extreme matted tangled hair is never Irreversible.  

Is Your Hair Dreadlocked or Padlocked with Matted and Tangled Knots?

It doesn’t make sense how or why the hair can intertwine to create webs of layers of deep matrices of matted tangled knots. 

There is so much strength in our hair.  Samson was evidence of that.  Our hair has a important function to our body, it’s a part and member of our body.  

One hair strand can speak volumes about the health of the body. Hair is not just for external beauty.   

In fact hair samples do not deteriorate, it is widely used as a proven method in the medical and sports profession for testing.  Hair samples are fast efficient and leads to more accurate results.

Hairs are one of the most important parts of the human body. They are not only a part of the body but they are an essential component in making the appearance more attractive.

Detangling very matted tangled hair is such a strange type of work!

There are many jobs in the world that are so strange-its amazing that our brains can’t even make sense of it.  In fact the bible says that God does strange work- Isaiah 28:21.

The effects of matted tangled hair are so deep that you may feel that your hair is not just dreadlocked, but padlocked.  this is why living with severely matted tangled hair is increasingly becoming a health concern for many people.

Many people don’t consider the health risks can come with matted hairs.  When wash day crosses most minds, they think of the smell of their favorite shampoo and catching up on our favorite shows while our hair is deep conditioning. Sometimes we overlook one of the most important parts of this task: detangling.

When hair gets matted, your first instinct may be to cut it all off and let it grow out anew hair. This is not so for Tangled Hair Techs who is an expert at de-knotting. For most women, severely tangled hair was not an issue of concern until they experienced hair loss and pre-mature balding.

Some early medical descriptions of matted hair termed it as a disease of the head or body where hair agglutinated due to a nauseous discharge from the roots of the hair (Beach & Rines, 1904). Schuster (1968), referring to Lefevre, added that plica polonica was a malady changing healthy hair into a foul matted hair forming plaits or twisted strands, alternatively called polish plaits. Referring to Agnes (1952).

Depression can become worse with matted tangled hair. Many people are praying to save their severely tangled matted hair instead of shaving it off.  You may ask why should anyone pray about preserving, saving or protecting their hair?   

Well why not?    We pray about other things.  Who says one thing has more value than another in Gods ears?  Is there a hierarchy of things to pray about or for?  Even Samson prayed for strength one last time after his mistake. 

What does God have to do with my hair. 

There is a whole section of the bible surrounding strength in hair.  God made a vow about hair.  Judges 13-16.  Samson had physical power in him-his hair was his secret.  There are many women in the world with long beautiful hair who might not admit it openly, but their hair is a silent secret to their beauty.  Its apart of their power of self.  People both admire and envy their hair.  It adds to self esteem/identity-which affects our strength and self worth indirectly. 

The Bible says in Philippians 4:6-7.  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God….And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Healing in Hair Detangling

It is strange and incomprehensible for many to understand that there is healing in hair detangling. In Isaiah 28:21” For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim....that He may do his work, strange work and bring to pass his act, His strange act.

There is healing in removing dreadlocks without cutting or shaving hair off. So many people with long hair are connected to their hair with love. When the hair is locked together in a knot, your mind and emotions are in a knot. It’s hard to think clearly or feel happy about yourself.

 You become irritable and very self conscious because people are starring at your hair and if you have been confined to your home because of your hair-it gets worse. When people hear this message they will be healed with hope that they can have their hair again-which automatically brings healing within; and destroys sadness.

Long hair is God’s gift, just as the word Jesus in the Bible is everlasting. Many cultures like the Indian Sikhs-all over the world believe that hair is a gift It takes a lot of work to maintain long hair as well- so it is so disheartening to have to abruptly shave it all off. For instance why is it a strange fact that when people laugh they heal faster.

 The Mayo Clinic has proven that Laughter can: Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain. Activate and relieve your stress response. 1.LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE, 2. REDUCES STRESS HORMONE LEVELS,3. WORKS YOUR ABS, 4. IMPROVES CARDIAC HEALTH, 5. BOOSTS T-CELLS, 6.

Hi
I was just researching solutions for severely matted hair and came across your web-site.
Do you have any techs in Pennsylvania?

Do you have any tangled hair techs in the Los Angeles area? I recently had a baby and have been taking quick - 90 second showers w/out having the time to comb through my hair. My husband was off the other day so I planned to spend time combing my hair out when I realized it was very matted on the right side. I ordered the take down product and have been trying to detangle my hair but no luck. I REALLY don't want to cut it. Can you please help?

i live in king of prussia pa and have a giant ball of matted, knotted hair that i need to get out possibly by friday! CAN YOU HELP ME?

Hi, I live in the Boston MA area, where are you located. My story is as follows, started three years ago with a really horrible hair cut, the stylist, said he had a special technique which bends and curls the hair, I have baby fine, super straight dark blone hair, was natural toehead til 30's.

He cut the hair dry with hairspray on it.............then I passed out drunk at a party and my hair was sheared like a ribbon which coils, they also put eyelash stimulator all over my scalp, then, three more bad cuts by other sytlists. then went to alleged superstylist to get a corrective cut, he gave me a justin bieber (sp) cut so the hair was cut to come forward from the back, then extensions with heat and glue which ripped out of my head without my pulling, big bald spots, hair seems to have regrown.

however all it does now after new stylist and 2 keratin express blow outs and cuts which suck the hair is just clumping and tangling and the eyelash hair is more coarse, so the real hair is just winding around it and it pulls and hurts so much, it is now thinning and you can see bald spots it wont go back or side ways and it is impossible to even part or get a line in the hair to blunt cut...........I have also had many surgeries and illnesses throughout the past 15 years, I saw my primary care md and he said he could not see any medical reason for this....I have a preexisting anxiety/panic disorder which I am medicated for, I almost lost my husband 10 months ago and the stress has taken its toll on my weight, hair and skin. I am using products the orabi and taking super food vitamins, my appetite and diet stinks. I am not a woman of financial means I am an artist, currently starving, litterally and figuratively! I am hoping there may be some compassionate person out there to help me.... I have not been able to work for the psst two years as I severely fractured my wrist which required four surgeries and two bone grafts, the last surgery on the wrist being in September 2011, my husband underwent a routine cardiac procedure resulting in a hole being lasered into his superior vena cava, he bled out, coded on the table had a stroke and required a 12 hour surgery to save his life, he was on life support for months and rehab for months, he is now doing so much better, I have a lot of medical knowlege and a biotechnology background so I was his primary care md at home, I was very brave and never flinched during this time, but now that things are better, I am a wreck and so ashamed of the way I look, I can't tell you. Can you help me...I think you are located in Boca, maybe i could get bus fare, I have a friend there I may be able to stay with, or maybe there is someone in Massachusetts that you know. I am going to see a shrink now in addition to doing accupunture and polarity massage and mind and body wellness programs. I am really trying, I am 49 and in menopause as well and taking no hormones as I smoke. My medicine is ativan, baclofen I have cervical dystonia which causes severe neck spasms and pain, seeing a neurologist in Feb. and also taking 5 mg of vicodin a day for the pain still in my wrist. Sorry for the very long message, but I am hoping somone can help. I am not a nut or anything close, i am a strong independent woman, but currently in crisis. Thank you so very much for your time and possible help.

Thank you and please get back to us as soon as you can.

I read on the takedownproducts.com website that Tangled Hair Techs is looking for individuals who are interested in learning how to detangle hair...
I am very interested in learning how to do so.

I live in the Caribbean island of Barbados and about six-months ago after my own braid extension take down disaster, I started educating myself about hair because I wanted to take the best care of my own hair as possible. I am not a hairdresser, but I have come to realize how I often neglected and mistreated my hair through ignorance.  I just got tired entrusting the care of my hair to persons who were not concerned with helping me to grow, maintain and retain my hair and decided to take responsibility for my beloved strands...
So how do I go about learning how to detangle hair?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
