A de-tressing problem

What happens when you mix a long hair, a blow dryer, a round brush, and a bit of carelessness? A mess! Yesterday we got to experience this first hand. One of the girls ended up tangled with said brush from roots to tips! It was quite a large section, right in the front of her hair.

We worked at it for an hour or so to no avail, trying conditioner, water, and (at the suggestion of a hairdresser) mayonnaise. Finally, on the verge of total panic, we piled into the car and headed across town to the salon. Forty minutes later with the help of a pick, long-tailed comb, and a whole lot more patience than this mom had left, the brush finally unwound and was promptly disposed of.

We returned home on a mission to seek and destroy all of its similar shaped relatives, having learned an important lesson: round brushes and young girls with long hair don't mix well.
