She Brushed Her Daughter’s Friend’s Matted Hair, And Now This Girl’s Dad Is Furious
If you’re a parent, was there ever a child at your kid’s school that you wanted to help or noticed was struggling?
One woman recently brushed out her daughter’s friend’s hair after she noticed it was matted and bothering her. Now, the friend’s father is threatening to sue her over it.
She has a daughter who is friends with and goes to school with a 13-year-old girl. Her daughter’s friend has been through the wringer, as she has some health issues and lost her mom at a young age, so it was just her and her dad for a long time.
Recently, her daughter’s friend’s dad started dating a new woman, and she’s noticed that his daughter’s well-being has been cast aside ever since. This was proven when her daughter’s friend began walking around with extremely matted hair.
“[Her] hair has been extremely matted as it had not been brushed for months,” she explained.
“[She] had been hiding her hair under hats and hoods at home and trying to disguise it at school in buns. She stayed over on the weekend, and I only found out about her hair when they came downstairs after getting a comb stuck in [her] hair [after] trying to fix it. I comforted [her] as she was ashamed about her hair but had hoped that she and my daughter could fix it.”
Her daughter’s friend eventually confided in her that she didn’t like her hair and needed her help to fix it. So, while she was over at her house, she helped her daughter’s friend detangle and smooth out her hair. She sat the girls in front of a few movies and got to work.
It took a few hours, but by the time she finished the girl’s hair, it looked great. She brushed it out and put it into Dutch braids. Her daughter’s friend thanked her for her help and went home very happy.
Just when she thought everything was all good, she got a very angry call from the girl’s dad’s girlfriend, who angrily told her that she had booked a salon trip to fix the girl’s hair and had to cancel it.

“[The girlfriend] is mad because the salon they were going to had charged her a cancellation fee for canceling the day of the appointment,” she said.
The girlfriend was charged around $65 for the cancellation fee, which was half the cost of the scheduled haircut, and now she was expecting her to pay it.
She told the girlfriend she would not be paying her for the cancellation fee, as she wasn’t made aware of the appointment and felt she did the right thing for her daughter’s friend.
Now, the girlfriend is not only saying their kids can’t be friends anymore but also threatening to sue her over the cancellation fee.
Later, she found out from her daughter that she had known about the hair appointment all along, but her friend wanted her to help detangle her hair because she knew that if she went to the salon, she’d have to get her hair cut shorter, which she didn’t want.
Should she pay the cancellation fee or be proud that she helped her daughter’s friend avoid an unwanted haircut?
