I said to myself a few years ago that I would not let my hair get this matted again.

I dealt with it 6 months of matted hair tonight I cut out alot but years ago I had a 3 year matt and when I got it situated I was a pixie cut which for me always having long hair I felt lost and more ugly. I got rid of a lot of my hair but it does feel better scalp wise and that I can now brush it.

Hello Hope your feeling a little better today. I just read all the replies from your last post, alot of good advise given. I just wanted to say I also had several mats on my hair when I went through severe depression. I didn't know why I got them. My hair had thinned greatly and a was losing alot of hair at the time. My husband bought me Nature's Bounty Hair, Skin & Nails. I thought this will never work. But I was wrong after taking a little while, I was able to take my fingers and comb through those nasty mats. My hair was very thin but no longer matted. So the product worked. It has argan oil in it along with other things. They do sell it on Amazon. Wishing you well and thinking of you. Take Care💚

Aw yeah it sucks when it happens and then rehappens in my case from just not taking care of myself and my needs. Ill have to remember what you suggested I have tried alot and honestly the rattail comb along with patience and many attempts it finally worked. I have thin hair and my scalp hurts when I didn't have matts my hair wasn't thick but much thicker in a pony tail. Im sorry that you went through this too but its nice to know I am not alone. Its so embarrassing and a high bun has been my go too but I knew people saw it. Yet as I said years ago I had a 3 year matt that I had to cover up with wigs, hats and anything. It sucks.

Thank you too and I miss you and wish you well also maybe we can chat like we used to a few years back. Take care!

Yes we'll talk again soon! I'll say a prayer for you tonight of better days ahead. He has helped me greatly since I have reached back out to Him. Along with medication also. I'm not denying the medication has helped me greatly. Thank God It has helped me also with anxiety. Much less anxious all the time. Thankfully!
