I’ve been going through a hard time lately. On top of depression which I have struggled with for years, life has just been piling on top of me. The last time I brushed my hair was the end of May, right before I went to rehab. I got out of rehab in late June, and lost my job not long after. I basically laid around the house until 2 weeks ago when I finally got an interview and got hired for my new job. My hair is severely matted. I’m Caucasian, and my hair is almost waist length long. I made an anonymous post on a local FB group and found a hair stylist that specializes in this, and after discussing with her she has been very understanding and said she would 100% work around my M-F 9-5 work schedule. But she informed me the process would be $100 an hour, and she said she has had sessions that have taken over 40 hours. I don’t expect mine to take that long, but personally I cannot afford it. She would include treatments, a cut, and products to take home to maintain my hair. My mom said she could help me out with around $200 of it, but I know it’s not going to be a 2 hour process. I’ve tried to do it myself, but after so long I start having severe panic attacks and I’m at the point where I just want to shave it. But if possible, I desperately want to save my hair. I just am looking for anyone who has been in a similar situation or knows of anyway to help. Thank you in advance. ❤️
