Soo, my mom got a micro-braid weave about 8 weeks ago. I told her that I would come and wash her hair for her since her right arm was still hurting from a car accident a few months ago. She got the weave b/c she thought it would be low maintenance especially since she is getting surgery on her arm in a few weeks. Well, instead of calling me to come and wash her hair, she washes it, over the tub nevertheless. 
she had pile all the hair up on top of her head and shampooed it like that. So needless to say, her hair was matted. It was like a bird's nest for big bird.
I told her, "you don't wash long hair like that!"
She said,"Now you tell me. You didn't come over like you said you would."
we tried to loosen the matting by deep conditioning, but it wasn't budging. I suggested cutting it off, but she stated since it was my fault that I didn't warn her, I need to: call the girl who put them in, get some new weave, drive her 2 hrs for her to get it done TODAY!!!I told her what I could do, take out the braids, put a set on her hair.
My mother was crying/sulking all day yesterday. She called and told everyone that I made her hair look like that. I finally persuaded my mom to cut off the bad parts of the weave and today I, even though I didn't get to take out all the braids, I put her hair up in a nice bun to camouflage the damage. Of course my mother hated that style. She was still crying as she went to work..
I can't perform miracles, but at least I tried. My mom thinks I'm sabotaging her in some way, but I wasn't. The only help she wanted from me, was to do things her way and that was not feasible at the time. GRRR. Hopefully I didn't ramble too much. I'm just really frustrated now.
oh and do people always talk smack about your hair only to ask if you will do theirs?

Sorry about her reaction, but I think you handled the situation really well.
Keep loving her no matter what
