Thank You For Supporting Our Campaign To Save Hair and Lives From Depression Through Detangling Hair

We appreciate all of your support and contributions.  Your  contributions will enable our team to expand in order to serve more people and save more hair.



 Help!

I left my microbraids in for too long and obviously used the wrong products to wash and condition.  
Now my hair is severely matted and tangled.  I am in Tarpon Springs, FL 34689 - about 45 mins northwest of Tampa, FL.  

Can you help with referral to a detangling salon and/or where to buy products?

 I do not want to have to cut my hair.  It's take so long to grow it to its just past my shoulder length.

 Thank you.


My Autistic daughter

Hello,

 My daughter has Autisim and she kicks, hits, screams and cries if you get near her head or hair. 

She is 4 and now her hair is one big knotted mess. The last time I tried to cut it and comb it out it took 1 hr 

and 30 minutes and she wouldnt come near me for 2 days. What do I do?

Thanks

Dear Tangled Hair Techs -
Do you have anyone who provides service in New Jersey or New York? Or is there a store in our area that sells your product (my zip is 07040). My 4 1/2 year old daughter got birds nest hair when we couldn't wash and condition her hair during Hurricane Sandy and it's at the point where I am fearing I might have to cut it all off. Hope you can help.

Horrible Hairdressers Or Sad Salon Experiences, Is There Really A Difference?





Has your hairdresser or salon rejected you because your hair looks like this?

Earnestly or Anxiously ready to cut your hair because your hair looks like this?

Judged you because your hair is severely matted, tangled, knotted in a ball, matted in a clump, birds nest, or dreadlocked like this?


Well if they have- then be aware that simply cutting tangled, knotted or matted hair leads to depression.  Matted hair can also be  a manifestation of deep depression.



Even though an awful experience can trigger a depressive illness. When hair becomes seriously tangled or matted, most people become so scared.  They don’t want to cut their hair.

Some people go into denial by allowing their hair to stay this way.  They are so ashamed to go out in public or to even to their salon.  Inevitably their hair gets worse.

Although depression can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genes, personal experiences, environmental influences or psychological factors. Hair is a major attribute of every persons identity and when the hair becomes matted or severely tangled for long periods of time it affects the self esteem.  This is also compounded with the opinions and judgmental views of others.


Some hair extension, braid or dreadlock methods can last in the hair for 3 months, and up to 1 year. When these hairstyles are removed with homemade remedies it also causes serious damage, hair loss, and in some cases severely tangled or matted hair. 

Hair loss can cause depression as well, but very matted hair tends to lead to depression faster.  Its the shame,self blame and loss of self esteem causes most women to begin concealing knots or clumps of matted hair-this is what leads to deep depression and frustration. 

In society today self esteem seems to be generally lower than it should be and it is often accompanied by poor body image.  Research suggests that self-image and appearance are very much interchangeable.

While depression is highly treatable, medical research reveals that the sooner a person is treated the more effective that treatment will be. Studies have also shown that immediate treatment reduces the likelihood of recurrence.

Matted tangled hair must be detangled immediately, it can lead to changes in thinking or mood.  We are able to take down tangled matted knotted hair through and with the tangible touch of GOD.


13 year old with matted hair

The  back of my head has become matted due to putting in dreadlocks the wrong way (sectioning them horribly) It has been left uncombed for 3 months now and it is very curly. I live around Chicago and I wanted to know if you had any places around there. I have tried olive oil and lots of conditioner and none are good enough to get out the back of my head and when my mom took me to a salon all they told me was "put olive oil in or shave it off". Please respond - I really don't want to have to shave my head or chop a whole lot of it off.

in need of help.

Matted hair after permanent colour in UK

Hi
Can you please help??? I am a salon manager in a training college and today  we had a client come in for a permanent root tint, she had a mixture of African Caribbean/ Asian hair, she had a baby 10 weeks ago and is breast feeding. She had a wella koleston permanent tint on her roots and it was shampooed with wella colour shampoo and conditioner.
When the student took her to the section it had matted into a huge box type birds nest clump!! We spent four hours using extra virgin olive oil trying to detangle it!! The client eventually became extremely head sore and wanted to go home we put it in a net and she is coming back on Monday to try again, she has long hair and the clump is in the middle she does not want it cut, can you please tell me what to do next? Very desperate for help ASAP
Regard

You are NOT your matted tangled knotted hair!...From Barcelona Spain to a Reservation in Brule South Dakota to an Australian Wedding Destination.



It may have happened to you or your child, but its NOT who you are.  Most people want quick fixes when they get into a predicament or a pill to fix a problem.  Most hairdressers just want to cut!

Healing takes time, patience and love.  In most cases hair can get severely matted tangled or knotted over time.  And sometimes it can happen overnight or after using your favorite shampoo or conditioner.  Regardless of the root of the hair mess…it can be solved.

There is no need for you to allow depression, despair, self-blame to overwhelm you; because it just makes matters worse.  As Jesus said “Nothing is Impossible With God”(Mark 10:27).  There are no amount of knots, tangles or matts that patience, prayer, love, skill and the Take Down Remover/Detangler cream can’t undo.  That is why our hair detangling services exist, to get you out of the bondage of blame, depression, sadness and free your hair.


Hello. I was browsing the internet and came across Tangled Hair Techs and it's pretty much a last resort for me. I have tried to get help from a couple local salons and they won't help just suggest ideas or to shave my head. I was depressed for awhile and going through a lot and just constantly pulled my hair back and with the humidity and other stuff that's caused damage to my hair it's turned into a horrible mess. I've tried remedies people have offered and it's just made things worse. I have very long and thick hair and haven't been able to get a job or haircut due to the way my hair is currently. I usually will try to brush and comb it out but I get frustrated because it seems to make it worse so I end up pulling it back cause I don't know what else to do. I really want to save my hair and get it restored. I feel horrible about myself and appearance because of how my hair looks and would appreciate any help. It makes it worse when people judge you about something when they don't know why or how it happened and the few places I've turned to for help have judged. I am located in Orlando, FL and was wondering if you know of any Tangled Hair Techs anywhere in Florida that could assist me? 
 

It's been way to long. My story is to long. Here's what Im facing; fusion keratin extensions 22-24 inches matted in some sort of bun on the top of my head. Is there an experienced  dreadlock remover in the seattle/tacoma area of Washington? I would be in tears if I had any left.


HELP!! DO YOU HAVE ANY TANGLE TECHS IN CHICAGO?!?!? I NEED HELP IMMEDIATELY, I HAD A SEWIN THAT I TOOK DOWN YESTERDAY MY HAIR WAS FINE UNTIL I WASHED IT, THEN IT IMMEDIATELY TANGLED AND MATTED!


I have a small matted section in my hair. I was wearing my hair in it's natural state (kinky curly), I got sick and couldn't fix my hair for almost 2 weeks. For a few weeks now I've been struggling trying to do it myself. It was bigger, but it's slowly working. I grow tired of doing it and would love to find a salon (in rock hill, sc) that can help me get the small matted section straight and keep my hair..I'm very frustrated and sad, I don't wanna cut my hair.

 Long story short I had dreads on one side of my head that I did not maintain nor bothered to brush the hair around it for multiple reasons that have turned Into terrible matts and knotts that I'm at a lost of what to do with. I've read so much and heard of you guys. I live in Los Angeles do you work out here? It's beginning to make me feel depressed and hopeless and I really don't want to shave my head. Please help

hello,
 i am 27 years old and live in kearney, ne. i have been living with depression for over a year now, and the past month or two have been very trying. i of course stopped taking care of myself. in the past, i have always been able to get all the tangles out of my hair. not this time, and im devastated. i have been trying to get out the matte by myself, but with no success. i have long brown hair and the problem is only getting worse. i just spent the last few hours trying to loosen parts of it and i could only cry at the frustration. i have not told my husband about my hair as i always keep it up to conceal the problem. i just want to feel good again, but right now i feel less than a woman. i am very sad that i was too sad to take care of myself. i will do anything for a second chance. i really am mad at myself right now, but you gave me some hope that it is possible. will you please help me. please write me back. ill be looking for a response. thank you for listening and i hope to hear from you soon.



Hi there,
 I have had a problem with matted hair before. Last time I cut the matts out. My hair has since grown long again and now it's happened again since having my son 6 months ago, and suffering from depression and problems with my relationship with my fiance. I have matts all over my hair, and I cannot get them out myself. I've also had trichotillomania all my life, and I have bald patches on the crown of my head, and short regrowth as well. The problem is, we are supposed to be getting married this October (date set, invitations are out, and people have booked their flights to our Australian destination wedding). I don't know what to do with my hair for the wedding. I am writing to ask if by any remote chance, there is anyone you know of Alberta, Canada, or anywhere in Western Canada for that matter, who could detangle my hair? I am used to dealing with bald patches, but these matts are too much!

Thank you for listening,

What can I use to untangle the matted hair live in Lower Brule SD on a reservation. 
Hello!


I desperately need your help! I wore my hair up in a bun-ponytail for abt 2 weeks straight. I did not wash my hair. Just rinsed it with water in the shower every day and put it back up into a bun. Over 3/4 of my hair is now in a massive and extremely hard knot. I have tried with a whole bottle of conditioner and pick for hours at a time. I have tried olive oil, Swarzkoff hair oil for detangling. It is not getting any better. All I have been able to accomplish is to get some strands like half out and all snarly still. Half of the strand is still stuck somewhere within the knot. 

I have to start going to interviews, etc!!! I am scared! I have been to a salon here in Barcelona and they said it was impossible. They said it all needed to be cut! NOW that is what is impossible...like I said- that is all my hair!!!! 

My hair length is to my breast line. So it is kind of long. 
 I want to order your Take Down Remover. But I saw in one of the comments that you may be able to find a salon here in BCN where they specialize in this kind of catastrophe and use your products. PLEASE help me! I am feeling depressed and desperate! 


I can not do it on my own..... I need help....
I have 5 feet of what used to be beautiful blonde curly hair.
For some reason or another i have let it go to crap.
I just want some sort of hair do
Please help me...
Thanks

Thanks,

Colorado Springs Hair Mess…. Salons & Hairdressers Don’t Really Want To Detangle Hair


It’s a shame and disgrace for us as hairdressers to hear how many of the women who contact us to detangle their severely matted tangled hair, go to their favorite salons or other hairstylists for assistance and the first response or only response they get is  Have You Considered A NEW HAIR CUT!!

We are working hard to train and hire more people who will want to save your hair. This is the website link to buy the super detangler product we use-http://www.freewebstore.org/How-To-Detangle-Hair-Videos/Hair_Products/cat1080367_1018887.aspx

Hi, I live in Colorado Springs and my hair has become matted in the back of my head.  I wear a head scarf most of the time to cover it up but I can't go around like this all the time.

I had it happen once before, and a salon was able to comb it out, but the whole time the woman was demeaning and nasty to me, kept demanding, "What did you do to make it like this?"  and treated me like I was scum.  Very judgmental. 

I was determined not to let it happen again but it did.  I think it's from keeping it in a ponytail, plus the dry air, sleeping on cotton pillowcases causing static, etc.  I haven't had this happen this bad until I moved out here from a more humid part of the country.

Anyway, it's matted again in the back and I can't get it out by myself, period.  I don't have any family or close friends here who can help me.  I got up the courage to go to another salon where there were a half dozen ladies sitting around with nothing to do in the afternoon, but when they saw me they said "Oh we won't do that, we'll just shave your head."  And then they laughed at me when I put my scarf back on and left.  

I wish these beauty schools would teach their students not to be such judgmental witches.

Do you know of anyone in the Colorado Springs area who can help me get this out?  I would like to try to find a different job, in an office (I work in a factory now) where I can't have hair like this.  I think I was a little depressed when I got the hair tangles and now it's worse, I feel like I'm in hiding.  When I got the hair untangled before, I felt so free. I want to feel like that again. 

I put an ad on Craigslist asking for help but no one has responded.  Could you help me?

Thanks,
MMM
Dear Sir/Madam

i found your email address and phone number on internet (youtube). I would like to ask you , if you could help me.
I found myself in very difficult situation. My baby boy was born before Christmas, he has a several health problems and was diagnosed to have genetic condition. A two weeks ago, he undergo heart surgery at Great Ormond Street Hospital. He spent a most of his life in the hospital. And I was by his side all the time. I suffered with stress and I stopped looking after myself as I haven't got time and thoughts for this.
I was so worried about my little one as he had heart failure and was rushed to the hospital.
I have long hair (nearly till waist), and now my hair are one big mess, one big tangle. I went to see hairdresser, but she said that it looks like they would have to cut my hair short. I was looking through internet, but youtube videos i saw, nobody had so horrible hair as i have now. Then I saw yours one and it was more like my hair.

Please please, i don't know what  to do. Please, could you help me? I live near Edgware Great London. I had never have a short hair. Please help me.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards.

REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH- THE ART OF DETANGLING HAIR

The art of detangling hair involves more than just separating hair that has strategically interwoven on itself in a maze beyond human understanding; detangling hair is about HEALING. There are so many reasons why women and men contact us about their tangled matted hair.

***We use our talent to lay hands on the sick due to hair matts so they’ll recover **

Tangled Matted Hair Is oppression
It can lead to depression or be the result of depression. Tangled matted hair is a form of bondage and we desire to set women and men free.

Like a plumber that sets us free from a blocked up toilet which can lead to depression and frustration-we are hairdressers that remove the blockages in your hair.
Dear THT,
I was blessed with a baby boy three months ago. After I received my first period after delivery my hair has become impossibly tangled and half of it comes out each time I shampoo my hair. What treatment do you recommend?
Thank you kindly, from Mexico

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.

Hello,

My mom was in a car accident and was unable to wash her hair for 10 weeks. We tried washing it yesterday and it was okay, but as soon as it dried it formed really big knots in 3 separate places and is very uncomfortable. Took her to couple of different salons and they all said it need to be cut, it is tangled in several places near the roots. Is there anything you can do to help? We live in Houston,TX. Thank you and please get back to us as soon as you can.
Thank you for your time,

Hello,

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,
