Before & After Detangle Pictures With Video Clips

In Bed for over a year……I can’t get a job because of my hair…..

Hi, I am lost and don't know what to do. It's a long story but I was in bed for over a year with severe depression and my hair is matted, tangled, knotted....I have tried everything.

I got through my depression, but my hair is bringing me back. It is so bad at this point that I cannot go outside without a hat. I am so embarrassed i sit in the house all day and i can't get a job because of my hair so my husband is paying for everything which makes me more depressed and we are struggling.

I have been literally trying to get the knots out of my hair for months. Water made it worse so now i am afraid to wash it. i ordered the takedown removed cream which helped, but not enough.

Please.....is their anything you can do to help me? I am already considering cancelling the beach trip with my whole family in March, when summer comes i won't be able to wear a hat everyday. My ten year reunion is this year.

Sometimes i come close to shaving it, or worse. i cry a lot i am so frustrated. Please help if you can. Advice or anything....

Thank you so much.

Is the Barber Shop My Only Answer……
I just removed a weave from my hair that I have enjoyed for five months,  There was a tremendous amount of new hair growth.  After removing the weave, there was some dryness and one patch of matted hair - about the size of a quarter.  I saturated my hair with a product called Cactus oil Serum for dry damaged hair and left it in overnight.  Thinking that it was ok, I jumped in the shower and proceeded to shampoo my hair - which wasn't a problem until I put conditioned on!  What a huge mistake that was!  I actually felt my hair tightening up and it became one HUGE MATTED MESS!  Is there any hope or is the barber shop my only answer!?  

Waiting for your reply,

Hot Water And Conditioner……

Hello
I had tangled hair and used hot water and conditioner to try and untangle my hair, which matted it into big clumps. The clumps are matted pretty tight and seems impossible to untangle. I really don\'t want to loose my hair, so I am looking for an tangled tech closest to where I live. I am from the Metro Detroit area.
If you could provide some guidance I\'d be greatly appreciative.

My Hair Has Ruined My Life the Past Year ……

My hair is a knotted, tangled, matted, dreaded mess. Before this happened, which is a really sad story, my hair was waist length so all of that is basicially a birds nest with tons of knots and its so hard on the crown of my head is where most of the length is matted,dreaded and tangled.
Could someone please call me, I have a few questions. My hair has ruined my life the past year, you are my only hope!
much love,

Shampooed Immediately after Braids Removed……

 Hi i had braids in my hair and i just took it out . immediately washed it with shampoo and conditioner. It now very tangled to an extent that a comb can't pass through it. i afraid am going to loss my hair or cut it off. what can I do to save my hair.please help me.thx

I Went To A Salon……

Do you have any “Tangled Hair Techs” in the Indianapolis area?  Or anywhere in Indiana, for that matter—I am willing to travel if it means saving my hair (although I do have financial limitations to consider)!  I have tried detangling this mess myself, and when that didn’t work, I went to a salon.  Well, they couldn’t even undo what has essentially become one giant dreadlock.  I am scared and depressed and anxious and beginning to feel absolutely hopeless.  I don’t want to have to shave my head, but unless your team can help me, I’m afraid that is my only option.  Please help—I will beg and plead and do whatever it takes! 

I Used Regular Conditioner Mixed with Hand Lotion……

Hi, I am sure you have recieved similar desperate calls for help! I have some really BAD knots, no, BALL size tangled knots in my hair! I had a leg injury and was bedridden fot three months. I have almost waist lenght hair, I follow the Sufi Path and the hair are a part of my spiritual journey. Needless to say, I would feel " empty" without them. I could feel them knotting up under my hairband, I tie a ponytail but though I could be administered bed sponges, washing hair was not possible. I am better now and decided to take a proper bath and wash my hair. I googled and found I wud need to use a leqve in detangling conditioner. I tried in on but had absolutely no effect on the " balls" of hair. I tried without success and in desperation tried all the tricks I had read about, literally soaked them in oil, no luck,on top of the conditioner and oil,I used regular conditioner mixed with hand lotion. They seemed to bunch up more! And felt even tighter! Went looking for a hair salon for advise or selevtive trimming to salvage what we could, but its Sunday and the salons were closed. Last mistake I made was to use conditioner  by the handful and tried washing them hoping that they would have softened up and may untangle! I know its not advised to use water as they shrink. But I thought if I leave the conditioner in overnight they may get worse.
Is there any advise you can kindly give me in this regard? I have my hair since 1998, and have not even had them trimmed for the reasons I mentioned earlier! I am already in depression thinking what if I have to have them cut! 
Please help!.   Desperately awaiting your response,

 Choking Incident, Heart Stopped & Stroke……

My sister-in-law suffered a choking incident a few years ago. Her heart stopped several times and she had a stroke during the incident. She's had a big tangle on the back of her head ever since, but none of us knew. We just thought she was wearing a bump-it or something. 

The emergency is that her father's funeral is on Thursday morning and she lives out of town. None of us can get away to go help her with this and she can't come early because her cat is disabled and she can't leave it alone that long. 

I realize this is a short time frame to work with, but can you help her? She lives in Kokomo, Indiana.

Washed My Hair Before Detangling……

I recently took out my sew-in extensions and mistakenly washed my hair before detangling.  Now my hair is a matted, tangled MESS. My natural hair is very curly so it's even more demanding.  I have a scholarship dinner to attend this weekend so I am DESPERATE. If the product is not available or will not reach in time could you PLEASE refer me to other products or techniques to help get me out of this mess. I need help badly and I'm so scared, as I have finally reached past mid-back length and I do not want to cut it. I look forward to hearing from you soon.    Best Regards,

Two Tangerine Size Balls…….

Hello, I would love you to help me. My daughter (16) has an enormous knot of hair on the back of her head - two tangerine size balls either side of the back of her head and a lot of matting between them . My daughter had very low self esteem issues and her hair got neglected and now we seem to be on an upwards struggle to put it right. Do you have people In the UK - we can travel if necessary.

Cancer Patient on Chemo……

I'm in Melbourne, Australia. I'm a cancer patient on Chemo and for Christmas my fiancé got me a sew in weave to cheer me up over my hair loss! 

I've had it in 2 weeks and have tried to maintain it but in the last 4 days I went from pretty long curls to hair that was half that length and badly matted! 
I have tried and tried spending hours a day with the help of a friend! 

Yes the girl who did my hair did a BAD job sewing it in... My hair underneath is unravelling, and now joining in this matted party! 
It's already fragile enough I am scared and freaking out! 
Do you have a salon, in Melb or anywhere I can get the unmatting product you sell? Contact me ANYTIME! 

5 year old daughter with Autism……

I really hope you can help me, I have a 5 year old daughter who has autism, from the moment her hair need brushing she hated it, screaming like I have never heard. We used to brush it and eventually calm her down but once she was diagnosed we realised there was more to it.

We carried on but then she refused to have a bath, it took 6 months to get her to get in the bath after that.

Needless to say her hair has suffered terribly, It has a slight curl to ends but is straight otherwise, it is now saturated to her head like a bird nest, you can feel the rim of it which covers most of her head. It is very long and I have tried Takedown remover cream but she doesn't have the patience to let me do it for long.

 Many Thanks 

I feel like I have lost all self confidence……

Hi,

I've been looking for the services of a professional to help me detangle the huge Matt that has formed in my hair.

It first formed about a year ago and has slowly got worse, at one point it was covering my whole head. I have removed some of it but now has got to the point that I can't do anymore without help.

It's getting me so down and upset as I used to have beautiful long hair and now I have to have it tied up on a ball on my head. After recent weight gain I feel like I have lost all self confidence in myself.

Is there any way you can help me?

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

I have developped 3 knots/bird nests in my hair over the weekend due to a combination of permanent color and conditioning. I am in the LA area - could someone assist?

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!

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

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

Hi,
I have severely matted hair due to braid take out, and I was just wondering if you all could help me find an alternative to cutting my hair. This is really stressing me out and I know you all are busy but I'd really appreciate it if you could get back to me.

Thanks,

Matted In Mexico

I had my hair braided while on vacation in Mexico.

After one month, I decided it was time for the braids to come out. Having never had my hair braided in the past, I was completely ignorant about what to do. After unwinding the braids, I figured I would just jump in the shower and wash my hair like normal.

What a HUGE mistake that was. Within 10 minutes of showering, my hair sprung up into a wild rats nest! I picked at it for about two hours. It only seemed to get worse. Although I am almost 40 years old, I called my mother nearly in tears. She came over and yanked and pulled for another two hours.

By the time she left, I had two humongous Knots on each side of my head…one about the size of a golf ball (and hard as a rock) and the other, like a flat matted pancake. The worst part was that I still had the top portion of my hair braided which there was no undoing until the knots just below the braided part were gone.....
