HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

foxette-in-sox — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 08:51:07 GMT

Miss 9 & 10 playing hairdressers in bathroom after shower.

Miss 10 winds Miss 9's waist length very fine dead straight hair around curling brush.

Matted tangled mess that I can see NO way of unravelling.

Hair is pulled & clumped unevenly so can't even see a way to cut the brush out.

Any ideas ? Girls are both in hysterics

What about trying hair conditioner, foxy?

Might make the hair smooth and slippery, and you may be able to carefully untangle it?

Good luck

Oh..gee

Just saw the pic..i think you may be in for a few hours of carefully trying to pull any oieces that you can, out of the brush bristles..
Perhaps the hair conditioner would be a help?
Fingers crossed..her hair is so beautiful

Cut the bristles off the brush.. You might need pliers? I did that when I was a kid lol. Took AGES to get the brush out.

I got mine out one bit of hair at a time. There's a bad memory from childhood!

Hair was soaking wet when they did it-it is dry now.I DID try unravelling but couldn't even find an end !!!

It looks worse in real life than it does in the photo if that's possible-sigh.

JMK,the brush is plastic so not sure if I could pull the bristles out with pliers.

I just can't believe the mess & how they achieved it-geez.

I'm going to drown it in conditioner,it can't get any worse (insert sad emoticon)

Use the smallest pair of scissors you can find and CUT the bristles off the brush one by one.

Re: HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

just_me_karen — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:26:08 GMT

Yep cut them off, or if they're too tough use plier to cut them.

Re: HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

clair.de.lune — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:33:36 GMT

Yeah one by one you cut the bristles off with a small pair of pliers one by one cause they're tough, the pliers needs to be tough too for the bristles

Been there with my own daughter many years back now....

I got her waist length hair untangled by having her sit with me behind, and gently unravelling it a bit at a time... I used the end of a tail comb to pick up a few hairs at a time, but you can use a fine skewer or something similar.... it took a long time to get it all out but she ended up only loosing a small amount of hair.

Patience, good light and dextrous fingers!

clair.de.lune — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:39:38 GMT

Yeah you just cut the bristles off B3 one by one cause they're tough

Re: HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

just_me_karen — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:49:21 GMT

Yep Clair. With pliers if they're too tough. Or small scissors if they're not. Cut them off 😄

Re: HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

clair.de.lune — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:53:10 GMT

Don't pull the bristles out because the brush is plastic, cut them off with pliers one by one because they're tough, tough pliers, tough bristles one by one, cut them

i dont see cutting the bristles off the brush making the job any easier, it would still leave a tangled mess to unravel

Re: HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

clair.de.lune — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:56:23 GMT

But the bristles are plastic so they're tough and you've got to cut them off with tough pliers, one by one

Re: HELP-Tangled Hair in brush !!!

just_me_karen — Sat, 27 Jul 2013 10:59:15 GMT

Wait. Clair, I've got an idea. You could pull the bristles out with the pliers. Or cut them off with either pliers or small scissors. Or both!
