Do not let people blame you for your hair getting severely matted and tangled.  There is no easy way to detangle hair.  Shaving it all off does not help your self-esteem either.

We know how tough it is to look in the mirror everyday, but matted tangled hair does not need to be cut. 

If you really want to take the time out, your hair can be saved.

We only advise people to use the Take Down Remover Detangler cream and a pin tail comb to slowly pick through the hair matted hair clumps and knots.  Dreadlocks can for in between matted tangled hair clumps.  go to hair detangler school online for more help.

Just read your post.

 And it definitely gave me some inspiration for my own matted locks. I was ill for 3 weeks with my hair in a bun and it's matted right to my head. I have an appointment tomorrow. I hope the woman can help me. She didn't sound too assuring but I'm going to give it a try. Trying to stay positive! Thanks for your words of encouragement, even if they weren't meant for me.

Did anyone find a salon or professional in San Diego? I need help desperately. I'm in the same horrible situation. My hair has been matted for a year now.

use separate section  vinegar and plastic bag soak can use vodka.or strong beer  soak 20-30 min hot water wash and use Paul Mitchel skinny serum comb and separate from bottom up in sections within a section of hair .

so break up  3 layer into like 6 sections and break those up into coming section of 4 or 5 or however .any you need to due to length maintai  with dandruff shampoo with mint  and miracle shampoo n conditioner the rounded bottles   main and tail a great edition as well I rotate through all these kinds hair mask once n awhile clarify well after and I use a proven leave in conditioner little to no residue make sure you wash end of day before bed brush n always braid your hair into multiple section great for wavy curly hair next day  easy to brush out especially with anti fries spray or leave in conditioner spray n water spray

WD 40 + wide tooth comb - start combing from bottom combing down and piece by piece, moving and inch at a time, right above where you last left off and combing down keep going until you get to top of your head. For really matted knots leave WD40 in for a few minutes thennyou can gently use your fingers to separate and once really loose gently comb. Immediately after untangled wash really clean (I washed my kids head 3 times adding conditioner on the 3rd wash) blow dry + wear a night cap to bed each night. Comb or brush your hair everyday. (For my kids it will take 3 or 4 days for us to untangle, she is tender headed) ☺️ I hope it works like us.

I was extremely ill with a virus for a month and my hair was in a bun. And now my hair is completely matted to my head. Tried getting it out myself, but it's very difficult. And nobody's offered. It's just too daunting a task, I think. And it's matted right to my head, so I'd have to do a buzz cut. I can't even go there. I've had long hair all my life.

I did not realize this was years ago and hope all worked out. And maybe this thread will and maybe already has helped someone

I have same issues and last month the knot was so bad nothing worked.. even had someone who could save dreaded hair from being completely chopped and she couldn't believe it.. wore a hat and scarves because I refused to cut it. I suffered my whole life with Tricotilimania and have been in remission for over 5yrs so thr thought of chopping it made me I'll. I have permanent balding on the top from my past pulling. I need my hair to hide that.. one morning I chopped it and I've never felt so free and actually have never had such healthy hair and the sephora crew has given me great advice for scalp cleansers, vitamins, etc.. my hair was actually dead from ripping those knots out so often. There is a treaent called Knot Today, Knot on my watch... All on Amazon or local drug stores.. good luck,! Sorry so long but I truly feel your pain.. I know exactly what your going through.

Hi. My name is Chris. I may be a dollar short and a day late, as usual, but I read your post and I am in an identical situation. My hair is a giant dread down to the scalp, as a result of depression as well. I know that back when Aussie products first came out, they had a product called "...curing muddie" or something and it was the color of mud. It actually worked INCREDIBLY well, so naturally it is no longer a part of their repertoire. I mean why'd they fix something that wasn't broke with something that SUCKS? There is nothing out of the hundreds of dollars Ive blown for hair products that even comes close. WTF?! There must be SOME product that works like the curing muddy!!!! CAN ANYONE PUSH ME TOWARDS SOMETHING SIMILAR?!!! SOS. Thanks. I cant believe Ive let it go this far!.

Hi I help a lot of people with anything I can. At the moment a woman came to me with severely matted hair. I am using coconut oil it has taken 3 days so far, 9 hours total as she can only handle three a day. But I have over half of her hair combed out beautiful. With lots of patience, two different types of brushes and a wide tooth comb, and lots of coconut oil. Progress is not cutting her hair. And I am confident it will be beautiful in the end. If anyone needs this kind of help, I don't charge much and I am at Beaumont Texas. I have lots of patience. Just let me know and I'll see if I can help
