Terribly Tangled in Bulgaria

 

Hi, I need help for one terrible entanglement in my hair. Problem with my hair come from the curling iron  and the excessive amount of hairspray which I used. Once I did my hair with a curling iron I don’t  brush and wash my hair week and more to keep the waves. With the result that my hair becomes entangled very bad. Since I could not go it alone I asked my Mom to help me. She managed to cope with my hair except for one horrible nest , ball or sliver (I do not know how to call it) located on the left side of the head near the skin. This ball is very hard, dry and tight. I thought it I made this ball hair worse, because  I originally started to straighten it alone, but I didn't knew how must to untangle. And now I very afraid to cut it ,because in that nest there are many hair. I am very upset. I want to ask you what products and what should I do to sleave this awful tangle?I expect a response from you soon. Thanks in advance. Nadia

Keep Me From Cutting In Kentucky
Hello.. My name is K. ; I live in Southeastern Kentucky. I stumbled upon your website while searching for some assistance with my extremely knotted/matted hair. I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to tell you at this time or if I'm even contacting you at the right place, but I suppose I'll tell you my story. I had (have)long hair... Down to around the middle of my back the last time I saw it down, which was around a year ago. I had surgery which required my neck to be cut open, & as you might imagine, this made it very difficult to care for my own hair. To make it worse, the hospital staff forgot to put a cap on my hair & I woke up with blood caked in my hair. 

 

 

 

That was a whole other nightmare, but that was taken care of & wasn't an issue anymore. After that was all brushed out & clean, I still had to keep my hair up in a bun for a while because I just couldn't tolerate the pain of brushing my hair, as it tugged at my incision, & I just wasn't in any shape to care for my hair myself. After I was healed up, I fell into a depression & am ashamed to say that even when I could care for my own hair, I didn't. (I should tell you that I live alone, & this is why I didn't have help & why I was able to hide my depression as well as my growing issue with my hair.) 

I would keep it up without washing it for weeks, then knowing it was going to cause worse problems, I still attempted to wash it as well as I could with it still up. It all snowballed on me & before I knew it, it was a terrible mess & I was too ashamed to ask for help, as I'm a bit independent/stubborn as it is. I've recently told my older sister about the problem & she was going to help me, but I became concerned about finding that she couldn't get it brushed out once we already had a gallon of product in it, & then I'd really be in trouble. I'm able to go out to the store or whatever with my hair this way because from far off, it just looks like my hair is up, but up close.. I don't know how anyone couldn't see the matted mess.. & I'm so very ashamed.
Also, I've always experienced ponytail headaches, but this is at a level I had never felt before. My head is always so sore & I don't even know if my hair is growing anymore. I have this fear that I've done irreversible damage & it'll never grow normally again.. or that my only option is to shave my head. I've barely left my house in the past year & this has kept me from being able to work, go to school, or live at all. I don't know how much longer I can live like this. Not to sound suicidal.. It's nothing like that.. 
Even in the worst of my depression, that was never a thought, but I do feel like my life depends on getting this taken care of. Your organization is my last hope. I don't know how it works.. I've taken pictures of my hair, but I don't know if I'm supposed to attach them now or what. I apologize if I wasn't supposed to type out a novel for you all at this time, but once I found your website & an email address to contact you, I got so hopeful & excited that I couldn't help myself. If someone could get back to me as soon as possible, I can't even put into words how much that would be appreciated. 
Whether it's knowledge for getting this taken care of or someone coming to personally help me, I'm interested in whatever help you can give. This is a matter of getting my life back, so I'll do whatever necessary. Thank you so very much for your time.. & thank you for creating this website/organization. For the first time in a long time, I have hope that my beloved locks might be saved & that shaving my head won't be necessary. Thank you! 
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I very much appreciate it. I'm attaching the pictures I've taken.. Two of which are of my hair up like I have to wear it everyday, & the others are of my hair "down".. or as down as I can get it, I should say. I apologize if the pictures don't show the mess that is my hair well
                              Appreciatively, K

Hi there,
Attached are photos of Rachael's tangled hair mess.  Thank you so much for calling me today with the information on the Take Down product.  

You mentioned that I could do the detangling myself. I would love to be able to do this since I've been working on my daughter's hair for 2 months now to no avail.  All the progress I make gets ruined everytime she takes a bath. I don't want to ruin my daughter's hair my doing it myself and would love to learn how to do it properly.  Do you think it's possible for me to take on the job by myself? I have attached photos of her tangled matted mess. Her hair tangle started approx 2 months ago and has progressed to this point - now it's getting to be a really hard mass. I'm so upset over the situation and I just don't know what to do!

Thanks for listening! Please let me know if there is another way to get this product quickly and if  you think I should attempt the job on my own.

Celebrities Deal With Hair Extension & Tangled Hair Issues

 

 

Celebrities deal with the same type of hair extension issues as everyone else. They have to be cautious of tangled hair, hair thinning or even just maintaing the illusion that the hair extensions are in their hair

Improper Fusion Hair Extension Application Can Lead To Balding

These are pictures of improper application of fusion hair extensions.

This can lead to hair loss, scalp irritation, hair damage, Alopecia and balding before and when these extensions are removed.

Please make sure when removing fusion micro bonding that you use the Take Down Remover Cream to soften the keratin bonds before using the fusion iron to heat the bond.  The cream will also soften the natural hair that might have matted or tangled at the roots.

Hi,
Seasons Greetings!
My name is Ann-Marie, Black British woman and I live in London, England.
6 weeks ago, I was 40 weeks post relaxer, with hair 3ins pass shoulder length and doing well....thank-you very much!
Then I decided to try a hair challenge from one of the hair forums I'm a member of. No combing, 100% bunning your hair.
I cowashed my plaited bunned hair over 3 days, moisturizing and sealing and not once undo the hair.

I then decided to do a deep hair treatment and undo my hair.... to my horror...BEST NEST HAIR!! I had to cut the hair hand band out.

The hair is matted close to the scalp!! I have managed to detangle some, but stop when the hair broke at the crown.
I'm sad, mad and desperate......H-E-L-PPPP!!!
Regards
Ann-Marie

As promised I did take pictures of my daughters dreads last night, this morning I tried to download them to my computer and in the middle of the action my computer died. Needless to say I lost the pictures. I am very angry right now, I have been trying to retrieve them for the last hour, but there is nothing I can do to retrieve them. I will take more pictures tonight and send them to you over the weekend.
I did take a closer look at her dreads and the dreads themselves are not that tight, however she does have quite a bit of matting at the base of the neck. I would like to just get an appointment set up with you, if you could manage to find time, to take them down sometime the week of April 13-17 or even that weekend. She is really miserable and really wants them taken down. We will do whatever is easier, we can come to you or you can come to us. Also, I wanted to know if I should go ahead and order the dread takedown product.

I have come across your blog when I was desperately searching for some hair detanglers. I have blond, long hair, which requires a lot of grooming - i always use strong conditioners, once a week i sleep with a shower cap and I wear it braided so it doesn't get tangled. Oh and I use shampoo rarely.

Yesterday I went to the gym and felt sort of gross and decided to shampoo my hair. After I rinsed my hair it was a dry, matted, clumped knot.It was as if I put soft, silky sweater into wash and then tumble dried it - it becomes felted and that's what happened to my hair.

Today I went to a salon nearby, thinking that the professionals will have some super power treatment that would make my hair slimy and untangle easily. Well all they did is they put a hair conditioner in my hair, and started pulling at it with a small comb. The problem is that every time they finished a strand they would collect a handful of hair. I was hoping they would work on separating my hair not just tearing out whatever the comb came across. Finally I just left. They did about half my head.

Needless to say I look pretty silly and can't show up at work like this. Would you please help me out?
You can come to my house and I could even put on a movie so you don't get bored.
Thank you,

Hello,
My name is Shannon, I am from Ohio. I have a 7 year old daughter, caucasion, with very severe matted hair, I have been able to get some of it out... however, she has these puffs I like to call it on the side of her hair with VERY matted hair, In deserpation I have cut some of the knots out but I dont want to to ruin her hair, I have tried EVERYTHING... I am getting very upset.. Crying non stop. Her hair got that way because she would only allow me to run the brush through her hair and it got extremely tangly then she wouldn't let me do it she would run around and yell. Is there any product u can recommend... And you said you travel how much would it cost to have you come to Ohio to help my daughter?

Thanks
Shannon

Hi!

Hehe I don't think you need to come over here, it's kinda far away to go ;) My friend is gonna comb it out. But is the stuff like really effective, and how long do you think it would take to comb it back to normal? And how much of it will I need, and how much does it cost including shipping. And what does the kit include, and do I need all of it?

Thanks for the quick reply,
Eva

Hi

My name is Stefani and I spoke with the Hair Tech in Atlanta (whose name escapes me at this time) last week. I literally have tears in my eyes as I am writing this because I am just so upset and frustrated.

I have a 6 yr old daughter with long, beautiful curly hair. Last month she got sick and we missed our weekly wash/detangle session - combined with her laying on her back for an extended period, a huge tangle began to form. Nightly I would pick at it, but since she is school aged I could never sit and work for hours except on the weekends. Slowly the tangle began to grow and got physically hard and matted. I have tried every detangler I can find, and even ordered 3 bottles of takedown and tried to follow the example of the little girl with a similar matted ball on your website - to no avail. I have been able to loosen up a great portion but it seems that I cannot even find the scalp inside the mat, which is 2 inches above the nape of her neck and also a piece on the right side by her ear that is pretty hard - it feels like it is felted, like thick dreaded balls.

We have been through the detangling process almost everyday for a month, and I keep getting pieces loose, having to stop and having to go back to square 1 almost, never being able to break the ball up all the while - the ball seems to be consisted of big hard tangles.

I feel like the worst mother ever and I dont want to cut it out b/c it is so low that it would literally take her hair from being right above her butt when wet, to nape length. I dont even know how they would go about cutting the side other than shaving it.

With all that said, I need your help, desperately. I dont have the largest budget but I feel like I would doing by daughter a huge injustice if I didnt at least inquire about how the process works in seeking your help. Is there a ball park of how much it usually costs, is it an hourly rate or a minimum amount? I live in Ohio, but I will be in PA this weekend as my husband has a conference to attend and I and the kids are tagging along. It may sound silly since it is just hair, but this has really got me upset.

Thank you so much for even reading this email and any help you can offer or insight to how I can retain your services would be extremely appreciated.    S T

Thanks again for all the time you spent repairing my damaged hair, and for the beautiful care package delivered at 4 am!!!! We are so appreciative of all you guys did. Is there still the possibility that you would be able to send me some sort of hair piece(s) in a darker blonde or streaked color to play with and use each week for more volume? As I have tried to recreate the style that you guys gave me that night, I am having to spend lots of time without any of the curls holding, so I may try sleeping in foam curlers. I really think clip-in or tape-in extensions (I will cut them to 8 inch to match my length) for some extra volume would be a big help for me. It's an adjustment, and I am bummed that my hair is as thin as it is after years of trying to remedy it with extensions. Do you know anything about laser light therapy? I had treatments last year and saw about 30% increase in volume, but they are 1800 bucks for an 8 month treatment, 15 minutes weekly. I heard of a hair brush that uses the same laser light therapy for $700 that I may invest in, if you know that to be a good method for hair strength and growth.
Thank you for everything!
A, D and L S :-)

******The white cream on the hair in the pictures is the Take Down Remover Cream

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.
