Matted Because of Mold in Montreal

I hope you are well. I am in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and have long curly hair that is tangled and really BADLY matted at the scalp, which is unfortunately really PULLING AND HURTING my scalp. I was not able to care for my curly hair properly given that my bathroom ceiling/roof fell in early February and now my entire home is contaminated with mold toxicity, which is not helping to keep my hair manageable or tangle free. Please let me know if anything can be done to help my hair. I am sending you pictures of my badly matted and tangled hair, as well as what it used to look like before in its natural curly hair state and when I used to straighten it sometimes. I really would like to keep my hair without cutting it or shaving it off, as hairdressers in Montreal seem to find no other alternative.

 Matted Due To Illness In London

Hi there,
I live in London, and about 6 months ago I got
whooping cough and had it for 3 months, and over that period
I really neglected my hair because I was so ill. It became
incredibly matted all over my head. Recently I managed to
brush out the left side by cutting up and through the matts
and then brushing, but I lost a fair bit of length. I'm
now left with a rock hard matted ball on my right side, and
I just cannot brush it out. Can you offer any advice/help?
Thanks a lot, Amy

Dear Tangled Techs,

I have severe RA which put me in a wheelchair for over 3 years.  After have both knees and hips replaced, I can now walk somewhat.  I had gained a lot of weight while being in the chair, so I opted for bariatric surgery to help my joints.

Unfortunately,  the RA has now jumped to my shoulders making it very difficult to brush my hair and my hair has become very fine since the since the surgery.  It is now a tight matted mess!  I've tried some detanglers and conditioners, nothing really worked.  What little bit I've managed to pick out, sleeping on it works it back in again!

I fear that my once signature "Gibson Bun" will have to be shaved off and my long time collection of vintage hair accessories should just be thrown out!

What do I do?!

Matted While Sunbathing

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME! I put Betadine & Glycerin in my hair while sunbathing. (I have done this before but, not while in the sun). I scrunched it up on top of my head. In a panic I made matters worse by putting a hat on my head. I have one massive long ball like a mo hock on top of my head fused together like cement. My hair literally looks like it melted together although I can't imagine those two products melting it. I have tried for days to get it out, using peanut butter, coconut oil and olive oil. At this point I just want to disappear.

Take Down Remover is my final hope before cutting off my precious locks at the scalp.  I can't let people see me like this. Do you think it is possible that this might work? I took off work two days because I work in a busy office and really can't go in with a baseball cap without a good excuse.

Thank You,

Carol

Hair Combed, Tore, Now is no More!

Thanks for contacting me but it's too late, my hair is no more.  I was hoping that my niece who is a hairdresser would get me out of trouble, she kept tugging at my hair, it all ripped out.  It's horrible.  I feel really upset about the whole thing.  I was mentioning this product to her and she just didn't want to know too much.  I was hoping that my hair she could save but this didn't occur.  She didn't cut it ,it was just combed hard until it tore. My head really hurts as it was painful also. I wish I had received your reply much earlier before she started.  It was like a birdsnest in a bit tangle that's how best I can describe it and in a big clump.  I didn't photograph it was too upsetting.  I would have purchased the product had I known it was available to purchase and would have waiting until it arrived if I had received a response earlier but the time difference between countries is different so that's why it's hard to get a reply quickly.  The worst thing I did was to wash it yesterday which tightened the hair and matted it even more.  She came over at 5 pm my time and it is now 11.25 pm at night here.  It took almost two hours for all this and at the end I was really upset and still am.  

She used olive oil to try and untangle it but that really didn't work just caused a lot of hair being torn/ripped, well broken.  I am really upset about it.  It took me years to grow my hair as it is really fine and it doesn't grow fast.

I just hope it all grows back but my hair doesn't grow fast at all as indicated.

Can you let me know what the cost of the product is just in case I need it as my hair does tangle easily because of it being so fine and how do you order the product and is it just one item or many?

Regards

Danni

Matted Mother’s Mistake in Canada

Hi my name is Kate and I live in Toronto Ontario Canada. I've been very sick for the past few months now and because of being so ill, my hair got neglected and I made the biggest mistake by washing my hair which has created a large, hard matted mess :( its embarrassing and I hate having to wear something on my head all the time. My health isn't looking so good but I dont want to look how i feel, i would like to at least feel somewhat normal and how I looked before. My hair is long but its all stuck to my head so it looks short and disgusting. My 6 year old daughter says she wants her mommy back and to be able to play with my hair again and to look how I used to. She's scared of losing me and her seeing me look this way, just reminds her I'm sick. Summer is coming and I want to look and feel pretty and feminine before then...

Pleeeeease help me!!

Thank You For Supporting Our New Fundraiser To End Depression From Very Tangled Matted Hair

Our ultimate goal is to raise funds to travel and provide our unique healing service to people who can not afford to travel to us or pay for our travel to them-to have their hair detangled.

Also we would like to train and hire more hairdressers, but we must have clients to train on and with.


 At present we have clients on our waiting lists- who are unable to afford travel costs/  They are requesting hairdressers to travel to them for professional detangling services.    

Fundraiser MISSION:  To get people functioning again in life by keeping their hair.

Cutting is not the solution.  Hair is a large aspect of our identity.

We are contacted by people internationally.

Some have had strokes and have been unable to comb their hair for months.  Family members contact us for their children or elderly loved ones who are in nursing homes and their hair has been neglected.  

Others contact us with matted hair due to:
Wheel chair bound, 
Healing at home,
Sick in the hospital,
Family constraints,
Depression,
Fear,
Undergoing cancer treatment,
Coming out of a coma,
Hair product/hairdresser mistakes,
Medication side effects
Abuse victims     

In exchange for discounted rates for our detangling services, we will video record detangling a clients hair and use the video for training purposes.  

Sometimes it could take 2-3 days to detangle a whole head of matted hair that has not been combed for 6 months or a year.  So all clients must pay for any required travel and accommodations.  

People become depressed, if they aren’t already suffering from depression.   The longer the hair is matted and tangled, it causes headaches from the pain and weight on the head. It causes frustration, irritation, and low self esteem.  

People are ashamed to go outside of their homes, to work or to even to a salon because people will judge them.  And unfortunately most salons and hairdressers reject clients after they criticize or judge the condition of their hair.

Hello do u untangle matted hair?  I was in hospital for 6mths and my hair got neglected, i hav been a victim in a relationship that was violent and controllin. I wasn't allowed to brush my hair, wear make up, clean my teeth etc.  He use to drag me across floor from one room to another by my hair,so now its a matted mess. I am so depressed i can't get it out. Iv tried knotty boi emergency kit and dozens of various other products.  I need help!

Hello,

Thank you kindly for your quick response.

In regards to putting water based products in my hair- like conditioners, I did exactly that thinking that it would be the best thing for me to untangle my matted hair from all the videos that I saw on Youtube etc.

 I purchased the Knotty Boy shampoo and conditioner emergency kit and then a detangler cream from the same line and it actually made my hair tighter and worse than it was prior to using these products. The hair is in a tight birds nest right now and very hard to the touch. I know I'm not supposed to wash my hair but it's getting heavy and itchy with the products still left in my hair. My hair is only matted on the one side of my head. Are you able to get out very tight matted hair?

You sent a link for the Take Down product you are offering. Is that good to put on over top of all the stuff I already have in my hair now or do I have to actually wash everything out of my hair and then apply the TD even though you say not to wash the hair? I haven't washed it since June 20th as I had an appointment but my hair has been like this for months and months and months with occasional washes here and there.

I guess the most important thing is that I need to know what would be the 'approximate' cost of having someone come to my place? As you  know, I'm in Canada and I won't be able to make it  as I'm still suffering from my illness and what comes along with it, I'm pretty much house bound, plus that would be rather costly and I am off work at the moment with no income coming in at all. Things are pretty hard right now but I want so desperately to hold onto my hair and TRY to fix it so that's why I'm inquiring about your services and then I will have to make a decision.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to respond back to me. I reallllllllllly appreciate it!

I would have called but I am rather depressed because of this situation and I tend to cry A LOT now when talking about my hair so I figured it was easier to send an email. Hope that it's okay to do so.

Please call me- my hair is naturally mid back but has matted & shriveled up. I am in Florida, Palm City, which is North of Boca Raton & South of Ft. Pierce, Fl. I need someone physically to help me. I cannot even sit up now because my hair is pulled so tight my eyes are slanted and scalp is on fire and beet red! I cant take it! i've been trying to get a response by emailing and voicemails and cannot get anyone to respond. Please please get w/me asap!! Thank you- I will drive or whatever it is I need to do to get someone to my home please. Thank you,

My daughter hair in the middle of her head is very matted and severely tangled hair. We live in Guyana. Can you help me in getting it untangled. Really need some advise.
Thank you
