Help with hair?

Question

My sister was in a coma for a couple months- she's doing great now thank the lord, but her hair is in an awful mess. it's almost like her hair is one big knot! Is there any way to get this out without having to cut off all of her hair?

Answer 1

Well she may have to cut some of it off, try this,

if you haven't already get her to wet her hair thoroughly and add creme rinse work it in and leave it, work it in the area it is knotted and leave it, rinse and comb from the bottom of the hair not the scalp, this is done wrong so many times you always begin at the bottom of the hair holding the hair with the other hand so it doesn't pull at the scalp when you comb it through. Start with small strands, when you get to the knot try and loosen just a few strands at a time still holding the hair so your siste doesn't feel the tugging at the scalp, if this doesn't work or is starting to work you can purchase a product called no more tangles and spray it on the lock of hair each time you start a new one.

Answer 2

i have very very long thick hair and i get knots that are really a worry.

The only way possible to get out a bad knot is to wash and then moiturise my hair with a good quality moisturiser.

then towel dry the hair and give it a good brushing. This will help to a point. when the hair is dry keep brushing it and you will notice that the knot will get smaller. Then i literally start to pull it apart. In some cases ive found a particular small knot that i cut out but generally the secret is to brush it often,and if possible plait the hair for your sister in bed so that if she tosses and turns the knots wont recur.

things like wind are deadly and dries out the hair. So too with a stove going. In a really bad case the hair can be dampened and some conditioer rubbed into hair, put a haircap over it and leave it for a while. At least an hour, then rinse out and start at it.

I cannot guarantee your sister will speak to you later on because it can be painful. I suggest you do a little at a time.

I will say that when this happens to me I have to say a few prayers before i stat because i hate it myself and at these times i have to pull myself back from getting the scissors and lopping it all off. To the day I havnt succumbed. good luck

Answer 3

I think if I where you I would start working on getting it untangled slowly and when you get a small amount out then I would braid it to keep it from getting knotted again. When we were younger my mom used to use a spray in our hair to get knots out. You could look for it in the store although I'm not sure what it would be called I'd start by looking around the Johnson and Johnson type products since I think it's more for kids.

I'm sorry about your sister, I hope things continue to improve.

Answer 4

LOADS, and Loads if conditioner! While she's in the shower, use a brush or comb and try to get the knot out with the conditioner still in her hair.

Answer 5

I would get a good deep conditioning treatment and detangler. See if that helps, hopefully it makes it able to be combed through. If that doesn't work, I would go the the salon and see if they had something that would work. Good luck!

Answer 6

I would go to a Salon LIKE sally;s if you have one there, and get some REAL good conditioner.... and remember to always comb hair from the end upwards!!
