So good luck and I cannot wait to see what you create. Dope. All right, well, good luck and let's get into watching some people get their very matted and tangly hair detangle. Act of addiction that sent us an act like full blown of active addiction. I wanted to have a bed, it got worse and we have a son and my focus is on him and him only and I just let myself kind of take a good arc. But then we both got into the program about clean. Oh, I'm so proud of you. Oh, is this video gonna make me cry today? I'm not like, ugh. I'm so happy for her though. She got clean, she's sharing her story and now she is ready to fix her hair and get that luscious hair back. That's a big nod. How is she going to approach this? I don't even know where I would start. I guess I would just like put some conditioner on, start combing little sections at a time. Is that the approach? Just a small little taste of what she's been going through. Everyone is going through something. I am so proud of her for just making the step of not only changing her life, but coming in to seek help. Be free of this big ball of hair that you see back there. So this is the end of day one and you see what we got to accomplish so far. Wow, hair is so wild. Like the fact that can even happen, it's so interesting how hair can just get all tangled in itself and create a ball like that. Am I the only one who thinks that's like insane? I was the only person in the world that happened. I'm the only person that you know, this is going on too. So there's no one out there that can help me with this. So I was refused to give up finding someone. YouTube is so big in our house with my son and my husband. I was like, let me just type in the YouTube. How did you hang well matted hair and use your video came up? Hey. Wow, I'm so glad that this woman is here to help these people with matted hair. Also the technique, so I guess what you do is it looks like her hair is wet and conditioned. She's taking the back of the tail comb and just getting rid of a few knots at a time and going through the entire thing. This takes so much patience, props to you for putting the time and energy into this. I've already lived this pain for three years almost. I am done. People all the time are like, oh, you must not brush your hair. I can attest, I brush my hair every day even when it was like this and make sure that the hair that was not tangled was not going to get in there too. And I remember feeling that when I was brushing my hair wasn't the knots were not coming out. Cause like I said, my hair never really tangled. If it did, when I was brushing it like after the shower or something like that, it always, there was a problem there. You just brushed it a few times and it would come out. But then I felt back and I felt like a round bump and I was like, oh, there's something in my hair. I thought it was gum to be honest. Imagine how much hair has just like accumulated in that knot over the months or years or I don't know how long it's been since she's been able to brush through this. But imagine all like the hair that naturally gets lost. All of that hair is kind of just staying inside the other hair and then it creates more knots and then it gets matted and then more hair falls from the scalp because of it naturally falling out. And then it just creates a bigger and bigger clump of hair. And that's I think how this kind of happens. Obviously it's a lack of brushing hair and it's a lot of laying down, I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's from being in bed a lot or having your hair kind of rubbing against the surface a lot can also create a lot of matting. So I spent, can you not? Probably three or four hours. I looked online and how to detangle. You just tangle in a hair like that was like more than just a few brushes type of tangles. I don't know for some reason, it told me to use apple cider vinegar. So I went, bought some, sprayed it on, three to four hours trying to do exactly what you're doing. I wonder why it's an apple cider vinegar would help you detangle hair. It seems random vinegar tangles. I don't know. I'm confused. My arm burned, hurt. I wanted to fry and die, but it literally was almost gone. I rinsed it in the shower, you know, cause I can't put in stuff to get the apple cider stuff off. I went to bed and then the next day it was still there and I tried to get it out and it just wasn't budging, but I was like it's small enough, you know, I'll just get out the next day. That next day turned into almost three years. Whoa. Okay, so it's been three years and she did, she tried to get it out. It was too late. It was too much hair already bunched in there, but it's been three years since she's really brushed through all of her hair. This is gonna feel so satisfying to her at the end when she can run her hand through her hair and feel no knots. Like the satisfaction is gonna be incredible. It's not easy. Like it's easy for people to throw rocks and throw stones, but man, like I tell people your life and your situation manifested through this part of your hair. There's other people that their stuff is manifesting through overeating or under eating, drinking, out here in these streets just doing whatever, you know, gambling or the pressure of being stuck in the house. Like there are things show up other ways. You're just show up this way. I love this hairstyle. She's so like supportive and caring and trying to help this woman and also helping me understand how these types of things happen. And she's right. Her kind of struggles in life were just manifested to her hair and to this kind of ball of hair that has to be detangled and other people take it out in other ways. I like fully understand how this could happen to somebody and I feel for her. I had put so much into my recovery and this was a big part of like that life and I would be, I'm gonna be damned if like my addiction is that I fought so hard to get over everything was just gonna take something else from me. Some people realize that just because you've cut that off it doesn't mean you have, I didn't deal with it. You know? Like I faced it head on. And guess what? If I'm doing it this way, I get to keep some things that I wanted to keep. Yeah. Because I had to get rid of it. Exactly. And hair means so much to people. I understand why she would want to keep it and she wouldn't want to shave her head. You know, I can totally feel what you're saying. I'm so happy that she's gonna be able to have her hair back. I want to see this get detangled for her so badly. Wow. Look at her working through that hair and she's finally getting that brushed through. So satisfying. So I finally figured out how her hair worked. Three days later, so I found a trick to her hair. This is what's left to do. Now I'm gonna blow your mind. Look what it's attached to guys. Literally attached to this much hair. So all of this is just a hair ball of old matted hair. Over 100,000 strands of hair that's in that bag and that's attached to her head. She has no ball spots here. What? It's amazing breakthrough, but at the same time I'd be like, why did I find this earlier? She's probably so like, what the hell? That big clump of hair was just held on by two hair strands. It just got rid of it, but oh my God. Well, I'm so glad she finally found it. Ready? Don't be like, don't be like, love. Yeah. Hair that was trapped in there. Yes. Yes. And that's a lot of hair. We are done. So I'm gonna do some keratin. Her hair texture is a whole nother texture now. You are free. I'm so happy I was able to set you free, girl. Look at this. This is why I do it. Yes, and we love you for it. Thank you so much for being there for these people and helping them. But wait, we have to see the final look. Her hair looks so beautiful and shiny and healthy. Yes. Yes. Sick job. You're both amazing. Today we're doing a client who hair has been matted for over 17 months, y'all. It was challenging. Maybe the most challenging one so far. I don't even know where I would start. I don't even know what I would do. If that's not the most challenging matted hair she's ever done, then I don't know what is because I wouldn't know what to do. I wouldn't know what to do, but I'm excited to learn. This is interesting. So this is kind of like a different technique it feels like. I don't know what's going on really, but they are putting water on her scalp while detangling. It might be cold water to like ice her scalp, I'm guessing, but I think it's cold water. I'm sure that they've been pulling on her head the entire day and it probably is really painful. That's something that you also have to take into account here. You're pulling on these clients' scalps all day. Like this is a lot of work and a lot of patience go into this and I'm sure a lot of breaks have to happen in the middle. The client here, we had her sketch for three days, but because her hair was so challenging and she is so tender headed that we had to do an extra day. Now we're at the shampoo bowl because no matter what we did to her hair, every little thing hurt so I came up with the idea of letting the water run through her scalp to kind of distract her brain while I detangle her hair at the same time. Oh my God, I forgot about the fact that people are tender headed and like some people can't handle any pulling on their hair. That brings a whole another level of complexity to the situation. They are using the water to kind of distract her. She has already gotten so far through this hair. I'm so impressed. But when I say it was challenging y'all, it was challenging. I really didn't think we'll be able to do it, but I kept pushing through and I really want to set her free. So we were determined and we got it done. We did it, we did it, we did it. Let's go ahead and keep it 100. I didn't think we'll be able to do it because my client was extremely tender headed. She has to be by far the most tender headed client we had. How is her hair that long? Oh my God, and so healthy. Look at her ends, barely anything needs to be cut. Like I want you to look at that. Look at those ends, get into it. It took us the last day like almost 14 hours to do her hair. We had to do one at a time because having two people on her head was excruciating pain for her. Not only was she extremely tender headed, but her ends were colored. And for some reason her ends kept getting mad over and over again. So no matter if I detangled it, it would do it all over again. Oh my God, 14 hours. This is making me realize one thing and is that I need to be a more patient hairstylist because the moment somebody tells me they're tender headed, I'm like, girl, suck it up for two seconds. I need to be more understanding clearly because I can't pull something like this off. Her hair is literally looks like silk. Are you seeing this? Oh my God. Y'all, we did it. I'm so proud of my team. Shout out to Marlene for staying late with me and the shout out to my client for being so patient. I don't understand how the hair went from that to that. That's mind boggling. That is insane. That is whoa, how, how, how, how. The talent is unbelievable. So my client here, hair is completely matted. As you can see, her hair is completely stuck together. Right now I'm doing a hair detox. I saw the recipe somewhere on YouTube, just Google Hair Detox, you'll find it. It's apple cider vinegar, bacon, soda, salt, and lemon juice. Also apparently apple cider vinegar does do something for getting the tangles out. And I did four of these and she soaked her hair in it for like 20 minutes each time. Each time, I promise you no lie, the water looked like this. Not only is it removing the residue, the oil, dirt, pollution, sweat, but also it helps remove the smell as well because remember it's a year of not washing her hair and she has and calmed her hair in one year. I didn't even think about that. Obviously it's not going to smell the greatest and you wanted to get it clean before you then go in there and try to tangle everything. So she's trying to extremely clarify the hair before she begins to actually tangle it which makes a lot of sense. So right now I'm using my product. Shout out to me. And I'm trying to wash the outer perimeter of it even though it's not going to get in the inside but you still want to work with a kind of clean surface. So I did that. We're just rinsing all that stuff off. These are all the products I use. I want to see which one would work best for her hair type. So she obviously uses a bunch of conditioning sprays of all kinds and that's the technique. Clarifies it, she washes it, she uses detangling conditioning sprays and she goes in there with her tail comb. So now I'm just trying to see how I'm going to tackle this because not only is her hair completely matted together but the back portion is matted together and the top portion is matted together separately and then the outside of it, like the perimeter of it because I guess it's been a rub against the pillow hair scarf it's like tight wool. So it was extremely hard to break that barrier. I can't imagine also with coily hair like this it must just make the detangling process that much harder because I don't know I just feel like it was. Am I wrong for thinking that? When I finally get into the hair all that oil and dirt's in there. So we're just combing through. Whenever she has this residue I just go back to the sink with her and I detangle and wash it so we get that build up because that residue acts like a strong cement. It's hard to work through it. So I'll go to this shampoo bowl, I'll wash it out. I would never know any of this. This is incredible to watch and she is making her progress through this hair. So I just start detangling at the shampoo bowl as well to break it up, put some conditioner see if that works because I wouldn't know what would work for her hair until I try it. This is the end of day one. So I was able to get at least 25% of it done. 25% of it done baby. We're making progress. I feel like I'm in this with you. Look how long her hair is. I barely cut anything. Like I probably pulled out the scissors twice or the shears twice to cut little small knots without trying to save her hair as much as possible. And this is what I have left to do but I was happy to get that accomplished. Probably took me nine hours in total to do. Nine hours and she's not even done. I think that was day two as well. Oh my God. All right now I'm just twisting her hair down because her hair is trained at this point to be matted. So if you don't separate that and twist it down it's gonna be matted again the next day. Use the rat tail comb as you can see different ones and different sizes to break up the matted hair. When that part is the tango I use a detangling comb and also I use the white tube comb as you see me here once the hair is completely somewhat detangled. Gosh she's gonna have the most beautiful hair at the end of this. Her hair looks healthy and it looks strong and it looks long. I love it. So this is me combing through it because you know you can't use a rat tail comb for that part because it's too much. So this is day two when I got completed. I'm getting there and that part that's section off that's hanging out is what I have left to do. So this is day three guys. All that white residue is all those products that she had in her hair. She tried some things at home before she came to me to see if she can get the tango but it wasn't working and you know I don't know if she risked it out or not but I just stayed in there. We got rid of that. If she didn't come to me she said she wanna cut her hair off and she didn't wanna cut her hair off you know. You just don't want to. Yes ma'am I am finished. Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm. You did it, you did it. Look how long her hair is guys. Look at the pull and look at her shrinkage. Her shrinkage is real. So I shampooed her hair five times. I did two clarifying maybe three shampoos of clarifying shampoo and regular shampoo. This is me blow drying her hair. She shampooed her hair five times. That is sparkling brand new. I was very gentle when I did her blow dry cause imagine three days of detangling. She needed a haircut so we did a haircut. We did a decondition tree. Maybe we did the whole works for her hair. Not only we spent three days of detangling but I spent three days of pouring life into her. Oh look at me running my fingers through her hair. I can comb her hair now. Please take time, you time. Take time to love yourself. Spend time, self-care is truly important and to pour into your life. Find people that can pour into you. This is all the hair. Look all that hair. It was a half a bag but look at her hair guys. Look at the shine. Look how she wanted her hair to be curled so I curled her hair for her. So just a reminder, just how she came in. Y'all see it? You see it? Just a reminder, how she came in and how she left. Yes ma'am, mm-hmm. Oh my God. Okay, wait. The amount of hair that come off her head. Holy s***. Secondly, that before and after. Holy s***. Her luscious beautiful hair at the end. Holy s***. The shine on her. Holy s***. What? Hadasa, you killed it. Again, we all love you.
