This weekend I went to get my roots blown out - I am going on week 9 of stretching my relaxer.
I should have known something was bound to go wrong after the stylist kept telling me my hair was going to break if I continued to stretch my relaxer out.
No matter how much I told her about me moisturizing my roots, not putting tension on the two textures, you know all the things you stretch pros taught me, she still tried to make me feel as if I had no idea what kind of damage I was doing to my hair by stretching.
Anyway, so as she was washing my hair she suggested that I get a garlic treatment. She also mixed it with Jojoba oil with it.
Well, when I got to the chair for her to set my hair it was full of FIST SIZE TANGLES!! I might as well of had dreads! Then she proceeded to try to BRUSH them out of my wet hair.
I told her it was okay, I would prefer to do it myself. Ladies, when I touched my hair and felt for myself what had happned, I could not beleive it. I immediatley jumped out of that chair, I could not afford any more damage done, and ran out of the salon with a dripping head full of tangles.
I ran home crying and hopped in the shower to try to gently comb them out. 2 buckets of tears, 2 bottles of clarifying shampoo, two bottles of conditioner & a hand full of hair later I got them out.
I am still in disbelief. This is going to be a major set back for me. Now I really have to cut my hair because it is all uneaven from the ripped hairs in the tangled knots. (Sigh)
Anyway, if this can be a help out of this, I learned that if your hair tangles up badly due to a non agreeing treatment. Use clarifying lotion to strip it from what ever caused it to tangle in the first place.

I've experienced tangles and knots and the horrible feeling of ripping your hair out to detangle them. Don't worry, with a little time and a patience, I'm sure your hair will be back to the way it was in no time.
