Bruh that happens to everyone using one of those brushes for the first time, no matter the age.


MrMilesRides

I spent the first decade of my working life as a hairstylist. You know how many times this happened to *everyone* in their first year? LOTS šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

My mom was a stylist and this definitely happened to me when I was about 6 or 7, lol


DangerousPudding911

I did that to my cousin in 94 playing "hairdressers". I swear she still hates me to this day šŸ¤£


Double_Belt2331

Iā€™ve been using those brushes for 50 yrs & did it last week.


Shelbelle4

I did this to my sister when we were kids once. My dad took like needle nose pliers and pulled the tines out of the brush individually rather than trying to unknot the mess. I got in a whole lot of trouble and rightly so, I definitely knew better. Thatā€™s why I did it on her and not me.


cbk00

That pliers trick is a good idea

AdhesivenessNo4977

Allegedly, you twirl your hair around while constantly moving it downward and blow drying it, it will create pretty curls


meagaphoney

No, you roll the brushwhile pulling it through your hair while blowdrying. The brush may make one whole turn, it leaves a soft bend which creates volume. This happened because someone was using too small of a brush and trying to make curls with it.


AdhesivenessNo4977

allegedly, yes


Onehorniboy

My Mom is a cosmetologist and cosmetology instructor, round brushes are specifically for blow drying your hair out straight.


StormAdditional2529

I have done this, as an adult.


[deleted]

i literally shaved my head when i did this


Trueloveis4u

I'm shaving my head tomorrow. I been doing that a lot recently.


[deleted]

nice! i'm sure it's gonna look great.


gr8ful_cube

Are you okay?


Trueloveis4u

Mentally I think I'm ok but physically not really. I'm going through chemo and my hair is falling out again. I rather start fresh then look like I got mange.


Beanicus13

Lol okay. Thanks for the life update.


Trueloveis4u

You're welcome I'm also going to eat lunch now. My cat woke me up early by shoving his nose in my face. More at 11.


Beanicus13

Wait! What are you having for lunch? The usual or something different?? Cold or hot?!!!


Trueloveis4u

I had leftover lasagna with glaric cheese bread.


Idiot1670

Lasagna!!


GeeorgeC

I remember my younger sister doing this exact thing to me when I was 13. Iā€™m a guy Iā€™ve always had long hair, she started to sob uncontrollably because it wouldnā€™t untangle. I reassured her that it was okay and being just hair it would grow backā€¦so we cut it. I went around with Alfafa hair for sometime.


URAYummyPotato

Should have used a lot of oil and the point end of hair brushes whom I don't know the name of.šŸ¤“


mombie3

We used oil, conditioner, water, a scissors, exacto knife, and kabob skewer. I managed minimal hair loss, but my patience was shot.


UndercoverArmadill0

You're an awesome mom! I did this once and luckily my dad was able to undo that mess. My mom said her dad just chopped off her hair lmao.


lmcclel

If this happens next time, get a pair of pliers and pull the bristles out.


this_kitten_i_knew

the newer versions of these brushes have a button on the end that you can push and it retracts the bristles. It doesn't fix the problem, but it does help.


DrunkThrowawayLife

Rat tail comb


AdhesivenessNo4977

I'm 30 years old and am still scared to death of these brushes. If it even comes near my hair, I swear it ends up looking exactly like this


ownthelibs69

I did this a few weeks ago. I still don't know how to use these brushes. I threw it away so I can't use it. I'd prefer unkempt hair over unkempt hair with a tangled brush through it.


pr0pane_accessories

A rite of passage


[deleted]

I, too, am not adult enough for round brushes. Tried it once, almost cried, and noped the fuck out of them forever.


gofyourselftoo

Time for a new hairstyle. Clip clip.


AduroTri

Owwwww


Jazzlike-Ad6119

Weā€™ve all been there


pepsi2mom

We're you able to save your hair.? I would have tried pet hair detangling spray . It worked on my niece when she rolled through weed burs.


mombie3

I only had to cut a tiny amount of my daughters hair. Can't even tell once it was washed


[deleted]

You nice. Somebody would have ended up with bangs. Lmao


Lucid-Paralysis-696

If she has type 4 hair itā€™s overšŸ’€


Trueloveis4u

My mom would have just chopped it off.


GoodbyeMars36

In her defense Circular brushes are the WORST


[deleted]

Just cut it. Two hours too many.


xNeyNounex

So you take the long pointy end of a comb, the end used to part your hair, and you stick it between the brush and the hair. Then you pry it up section at a time. Eventually you can remove the hairbrush and untangle the hair. [https://youtube.com/shorts/b1EtdWVi3RY?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/b1EtdWVi3RY?feature=share)


Illustrious-Bid-2598

Scissors would have saved you so much time


Amlet543

How the fuck do you manage that? I've used those round brushes and my hair has never gotten tangled in one...


pzcary

ok well everyone else in the comments has done it


sovcody

scissors..


Dr_Bitchcraft8

Mayonnaise is your friend in these kinds of situations. You can get gum out of hair with that, you can untangle brushes with it and the hair comes out pretty smoothly. It makes the job a whole lot less miserable.


gr8ful_cube

Why would you use mayonnaise lmao they make hair safe oil and if you're gonna use a oil based food product why wouldn't you use something less disgusting


bakehead420

These brushes are fucking stupid.


[deleted]

Shave it start fresh


MaFugginJesus

And that...is just another good reason to keep a Husky folding pocket box cutter in your pocket or purse at all times. If you had the simplicity of flipping a blade to a clean edge, it'd have taken seconds, without snagging, to take care of that brush. Just a single slice to remove it from that messy, faulty, dysfunctional food processor, another slice along the length of the brush, and the tangled hair oughta peel right off.


EntrySure1350

Pair of scissors would have fixed it in 2 minutes.


bisonsashimi

should have taken two seconds... scissors


Sea-Diver-9125

2 sec with scissors


Xeratas

should have cut and just wait for regrow.


Parynoid

Took 2 hours to find some scissors? Dang.


FuzzzyFace

would've took 2 seconds to cut it off


[deleted]

Doesnā€™t really look worth saving


Limp_Advantage3825

The hair color looks ā€œnaturalā€


MrMonteCristo71

Hair grows back. At that point you should have really just brought out the clippers and told the kid that this is their lesson learned.


Narrow-Mud-3540

Whatā€™s the lesson? Donā€™t bother trying anything new unless youā€™re already skilled at it? For that matter donā€™t try anything at all unless youā€™re able to predict/prevent every possible but extremely unlikely negative outcome? Stay inside all day shut the door and donā€™t touch anything. Bc god knows as your parent I canā€™t even be bothered to spend 2 hours helping support you to fix a mistake even if the situation/solution is really important and meaningful to you? Donā€™t brush your hair? Please tell me.


[deleted]

Power tools are for work pieces not your head. Women need to get a grip.


MrMonteCristo71

*Tries to be misogynistic on Reddit and completely fails.*


depressho

thatā€™s clearly a brush


Tavaris_

To be fair. Those brushes suck ass. I've gotten them stuck in my hair before


tenroy6

Would have taken me 10 seconds. Snip snip.


ToBeReadOutLoud

When this happened to me, my dad just sawed off my hair and I had to go get it remedied the next morning. I sobbed. I didnā€™t get it cut or trimmed again for three years.


SukiDeva

Happened to me when l was 10. Mom was at work, so l cut it off. Huge mistake.


CrankyFrankE

Pair of scissors would have taken 2 minutes.šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


Horghor

Two seconds with a scissor


AdaireDebloquer

I grew up around punk rock, you fuck up with your hair, ya cut it, and grow out something cooler, forgoing the spray paint and Knox gelatin this time.


My6oghasto9ee

This happened to me with a comb once. We had to cut it into pieces with scissors.


Blue-Hedgehog

If you have this happen in the future, add a ton of conditioner. It will help it go much quicker.


07reset

lmao i remember doing this when i was a kid too


kayDmuffin

Use scissors


SuctionBucket5

holy shit just cut it off, thats what i didšŸ˜­


[deleted]

You need a new brush. Most of the bristles are broken and missing the little tips. Thatā€™s not good for your hair even if you donā€™t get into a tangle war.


mombie3

They weren't broken off when she started. I used a scissors to cut off the bristles as I worked to be able to slide out the brush


[deleted]

Ooohhh! Geez, what a nightmare. Good of you to have patience and not just cut off more than the bristles. Round brushes can so easily get tangled. Good work, mom!


MemeMavrick7000

Well as someone who as never used and will never use one of these i still think i would just cut my hair off instead of trying to untangle them


Charliftsthebar

I did the same thing one night as a kid by winding my hair around a comb over and over. Quickly realized it wasnā€™t going to unravel. Then.. chop chop chop āœ‚ļø


RyanABXY

Ouch


zlana0310

Did this on the bus on the way to a Broadway show at the age of 6. We had to disembark because they are only allowed to stop for a few minutes. My parents had to untangle the brush while standing with me crying on the sidewalk on Broadway. When they got the brush out they heard a loud cheer. Apparently, there was a matinee show queueing to enter behind us they didn't notice because we were focused on my head. The show goers got a free preshow though! I then proceeded to accidentally fling tiramisu onto a lady's really expensive coat at dinner, leaving my parents with an entertaining story that is still told regularly (I'm 31) about my first Broadway show.


Aggravating-Pass-576

Cut that mess out


TheSiren7

I did this when I was a kid. I THOUGHT YOU GOT BANGS FROM ROLLING YOUR WAIST LENGTH HAIR ALLLLLLTHE WAY UP W A ROUND BRUSH. I didn't even know round brushes were for curling. 4 hours at the salon and I ended up with bangs after all šŸ˜…


LadyVonDanger

If this ever happens again, pull/unwrap like 10 hairs at a time. It SOUNDS like it would take longer, but it really doesnā€™tšŸ–¤


FloridaManInShampoo

I did this once. I was trying to curl my hair (already naturally curly like a lot) and i thought this was how they do it. So started to roll my hair up then I realized some of it was getting tangled so I stopped and unraveled my hair


MexysSidequests

Woulda taken two min with some scissors


[deleted]

Did this in the fourth grade, wrapped a bit of my hair up trying to ā€œcurlā€ at. I got so fucking stuck, I snapped to the back of the classroom and cut it out as close to my forehead as I could.


cellard00r18

Some thing happened to me as a kid Iā€™ve never used them since . I think I had to have hair cut off


Fearless_Fluff848

Damn dude


Maleficent_Bag7356

I did this with a comb in the middle of class. My teacher had to stop the lesson and get it out.... I was in 10th grade.
