That’s What I Get: How To Get A Stuck Comb Out Of Your Hair!!!
…for letting my 6 yr. old play with my hair.
Yes, as I type this, a comb is still wrapped tight in my hair. I can’t get it out. Any suggestions?
Jada thinks it’s funny.
Ha. Ha.
*UPDATE:
Thanks for not laughing at me too much!! 
I finally got the dumb comb out. When my husband came home I showed him what happened. Being the sweetie that he is, he offered to help. He sat down behind me, got a closer look at the mess and said, “Wow”, realizing how truly tangled it was. He tried for about 30 seconds, then said, “Yeah, you’re gonna have to cut that out.”
No!! I didn’t want to cut it! My mother in law (who read my post) called and kindly offered to come over and help me get it out. I thanked her and told her if worse came to worse I’d go to her house for help.
I worked on and off for an hour and a half trying to undo the mess. Not having much progress I began contemplating the scissors. Fortunately, before I began hacking away, it occurred to me that I should break the comb. I began bending it back and forth in the middle of the knot until the comb snapped in half. Then I easily slid the hair over the broken ends of the comb. FREEDOM!
Next I got to pick out the dredlock that was left in my hair. It wasn’t too bad though, once I sprayed some detangler on it.
So anyways, FYI, if your hair ever gets wrapped around a comb and you can’t get it out… break the comb.
Thanks for all of your suggestions
Oh no! Haha…sorry! I’ve done this quiet a few times b/c my hair is curly but only as a child. I think my mom either took it out strand by strand or cut it out….maybe its time for a new hair-do?
Please share how you get it out 
Olive oil? I have no idea if that would work or not, but it seems like you would need some kind of lubricant to slide it out? Good luck!
crazy, but me and my mom and daughter were just talking about this yesterday! when my daughter was little, once it happened to her when my mom was using a round brush and they ended up having to cut it out. later, when my daughter was a little older, she got a comb stuck wrapped around her bangs and we worked with everything until she finally had to cut it out. it was a mess letting her bangs grow back! guess what? now shes a hairdresser! how about that?
That happened to me too! I would try a lot of conditioner or the spray in stuff for the kids…but yeah, they cut it out for me too. Sad…your hair looks so good! Another idea is to use a comb w/a long skinny/pointy handle and try to work each strand or small group of strands out separately. It may take a while and you’ll most likely need your husband’s help. Hopefully he’s patient and willing! Good luck!
Oh, I’m so glad you got it out!!! This happened to me once while I was babysitting!!! It was a brush with metal tips and it got bunched together!!! It was aweful…only by the grace of God did it come out…I can’t even remember how long it took!
When I was little my mom used to use a wee bit of baby oil to get the tangles out of the underside of my hair every morning. I had one of those ‘ultra-sensitive’ scalps and everything else just pulled and hurt!
You are too young to remember Whizzer’s but a friend of mine wound hers up…and stuck it deep into her long hair. Her mom gave her a modified ‘buzz’ cut, both to get the toy out and as a punishment/consequence. Funny, my friend never did that again!LOL
Sorry to laugh but this was funny! lol
My Kendra use to do this to her hair several times a year … we did come up with the cut the comb trick after the 3rd time. She stopped the day we cut up her most favorite comb.
