This girl today about 13 or so wins the prize for tangles. Her head was one big knot! Her grandmother brought her in to take care of it, but didn't want to lose all her hair (The knots were all the way to her roots). Well, the poor girl was in pain, but didn't even scream. I was doing my best not to pull to hard, and using the thinning shears, and sliding the scissors into it, and finally after 2 hours I got the knot out. At least half her bulk and length came off, but her hair was back to normal. I was able to cover the short pieces left from the whole thing, and layered it. Poor girl. I gave her a hug when I was done, I felt so bad. She said the knots were caused by swimming, but I swear it looked like she hadn't combed it in a year. I gave her and her grandmother washing conditioning and combing instructions for the future. That was some experience. I'll never complain about anything ever again after that! |
