Detangling Hair May Not Be Glamorous..Its Healing

I had a sewin for 6 months.  I removed my sewin.  Since it had been a long time since my hair had been thoroughly clean (without the sew in) I decided to wash my hair.  After shampooing and conditioning my hair my hair was badly matted.   I did not know what to do to fix this problem.  Not only had I ever experience this, I also never really known anyone else to experience this. 

 I knew that if I went to a beautician they would have quickly cut all my hair.  I went on the internet to different sites.  I discover that I was not the first to have gone through this experience.  The remedies I found included saturating my hair with water and conditioner and slowly untangle the hair.  The first day I saturated my hair with water and conditioner and I tried untangling it.  I did this for the next three days.  I was successful at untangling some of the hair but as the days went on I discovered large bundles of hair all tangled up in knotts.  4 days had gone by with me spending hours with my hair and I had made no progress with the tangled hair. 

 I know it is just hair but if I could do anything to keep it I felt that it did not hurt to give it a shot. My hair was not just matted. Again it was matted and I believe the more I saturated it with water and conditioner the worse it got.  It was literally knotted  (huge bunch of hair all tangled up in a large hard hump of hair) in different sections of my head.  I mean really knotted (like rat knotts) the knotts were so big that I thought it would be impossible to repair.  My sister was convinced that it would have to be all cut.  I did not give up.  Through my research I saw a clip on YouTube with some girls giving a seminar on how to take down dreadlock and other matted hair with the TakeDown product.  I still did not think this would work for me because again my hair was now in big hard knotts.  I was at a little more ease knowing that someone has gone through this dilemma before me.  I finally sent a message to TakeDown and ask if it was worth the effort to save my hair or realistically was my hair the worse case.   TakeDown representatives responded and highlighted do not cut your hair. 

 They gave me hope although I rarely believe anything from the internet but it did not hurt to try to save my hair.  It already takes a long time for my hair to grow back so I just did not want to give up.  A tangled hair tech told me to buy the TakeDown product and give her a call and she would walk me through the process.  I did not know how she could walk me through the process with these big huge knots I had in my hair.  I ask if she knew anyone that could physically untangle this matted hair from my head.  I met up with this young lady with very little hope.  I really thought that I was being had or being given false pretense.  With patience (approximately 4.5 hours) she untangled the matted and knotted hair.  I could not believe it, but with the TakeDown product detangler products and more importantly with her expertise she untangled my hair. 

I would like to say thank you so much for your help!

Hey Ladies,

I ordered your product about 6 weeks ago.  Finally got the courage to
ask a friend to help me since so much was in the back of my hair.  We
used your product along with alcohol and it worked!  Yes, it worked!

My scalp was sore but the HUGE tangled matt is gone!  It took about 7
or 8 hours to do but Glory to God.  I thought I was going to have to
cut it but I didn't.

I am sooooo happy!

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.

I took my sew-in hair extensions out. I had them in for 3 months. My braids are now matted. I've tried " Murray's Unlock Braid Spray", detangler and defrizzing oil they aren't helping. I've used hair pics and 2 different types of combs that break, (my hair, naturally is a little past my neck, very dry, course and curly) they also are ripping my hair and breaking it off. My neck and head are sore from trying to get them out.Are there any tips or anything you recommend to help? How much are your services? I'd really like to prevent ripping or cutting my hair. Attached are pictures. I cannot get the braids undone. 

Hello.  I've had problems with depression almost all my life. It progressed as I started high school. Before ninth grade, I regularly got my hair done at my local beauty parlor (mostly before school started). I'd get it washed and straightened.

I'm mixed race, so my hair is naturally very curly and hard to manage in the first place, but when it was straightened it was much easier to work with obviously. As a required class in my first year of high school, I had to take swimming. This pretty much destroyed my hair as I had to swim for pretty much half the school year. I was overcome by depression mostly because I started to rapidly gain weight and became very self-conscious. I got so sick of having to wash and deal with my hair that I basically started wearing it in a bun everyday and stopped combing it completely. As it worsened, even if I tried, I couldn't run a comb through it. It was impossible.

Frankly, my hair looked very unattractive, and I'm sure you could tell I wasn't doing anything with it. Everyday before school, I would just brush the top to make it look smoother, and off to school I went. I no longer had just my weight to worry about, but now I had to deal with this tangled mess on top of my head. As I became more and more depressed and self-conscious, my grades dropped, and I pretty much lost any type of motivation to do much of anything anymore. I also lost hope that I could ever do anything except cut this matted, tangled mess.

That's the last thing I want. I love my hair, and all I want to do is have it the way it used to be, straightened and shoulder length. I've tried washing it, putting loads of conditioner in it, combing it, trying different sprays but with no luck. Where I kept my ponytail holders is completely fused together. It's like a giant dread lock that takes up almost my entire head. And my bun........ Just ridiculous.

It's as hard as a rock, and every time I attempt to do anything with it, I just lose more and more hope. I'm really close to just cutting it all off and wearing a wig or weave or SOMETHING. I just want it to look normal again, but I want MY OWN hair. I've never had to wear weave before, and most girls envied my long, beautiful hair. Not anymore. I'm also a color guard (one of those flag twirlers at football games), and I think a different hairstyle other than a bun may be required when the football season starts in September. I'm starting 11th grade in less than a month, and all I wanna do is have the straight, soft hair that I used to. Please help me.

Is there any type of product that you could suggest that REALLY REALLY works? I've tried numerous conditioners to no avail. I've been doing some research and saw something called Take Down remover cream. It has really good reviews, but I'm not sure if it'll work for me. I'd prefer trying to detangle my hair myself too if you don't mind. I just wanna be able to comb out my hair so that I can go to the beauty shop to get my hair straightened again, but I know for a fact that as soon as they see this, they're going to tell me to go somewhere else. Sorry to write you a book here, but I'm begging for you help. I need advice quick!!

Analysis Of Removal For Sew-in Hair Weaves Or Sew-in Hair Extensions

If a client is wearing a sew-in hair weave, after cutting the thread that holds the hair extensions to the cornrow braids , soak the Take Down Remover Cream throughout the cornrow braids immediately.
Then gently unravel the cornrow braids at the hairline. This will give the new growth at the roots of the hair protection.
Another important factor for examining the hair, is that if the entire head of hair is weak, split and breaking, or if the hairline is weak or breaking, this area should not be pulled at all while removing extensions or braids.

This lady already has long thick natural hair. She enjoys wearing sew-in hair weaving to change her hairstyles with different looks without affecting her natural hair. HOWEVER in this case she made a grave mistake

Her sew-in weave was worn for 6 months, when she removed the hair extensions her long hair was very matted within the cornrows.
She unraveled the cornrow braids used shampoo and conditioner thinking it would soften her hair in order to detangle it. It made the knots/matted hair worse
Well this is what we call a MATTED MESS OR NEST

We had to use over 6 bottles of the Take Down Remover to begin to save her hair. We first soaked the matted hair, Then we had to begin to detangle sections of her hair - literally strand by strand. Then we would twist each combed out section

Fast Hair Loss with Fast Fingers

Many salons employ hair extension specialists who can braid, weave or dreadlock hair, to do all these hairstyles which have become an integral part of salon services. However the truth is that the salon hires these specialists to perform braids, dreadlocks, weaves and extensions on clients fast, accurately and with imagination and creativity; but many of their clients are losing hair.

Hairdressers are always taught to analyze the hair before applying hair extensions or braids. A head of hair must be healthy to take any additional weight, such as fusion extensions, or to stand up to the pulling and tension of braids. The strength of the hair around the hairline is particularly important.

So in line with this training, before removing a hairstyle, the hairdresser should analyze which type of take down removal method they want to apply to detangle and save their clients hair-while protecting all the new growth at the roots.
