oh, as I see this thread... I also need to know something, because I want to earn money at WOA :D ;)
I wanted to open a hair de-knotting service, ya know what I mean? So whats the best english word for it? Hair disentangling? Hair unsnarling? (This is what my dictionary says :D ) LOL I have no clue.
Maybe we´ll also offer nail varnishing (only black of course) and neck massage (fine for after headbanging) or so :D You think we could get rich with that? :D

maybe it is, but after a few days Wacken my nose isn´t working anymore anyway, so I guess I don´t care :D

maybe this is one of those subleties of language no one can really agree on. So refer to Google!

"+untangle +hair" gives 15,200 results
"+disentangle +hair" gives 9,510 results
"+detangle +hair" gives 4,510 results
"+unsnarl +hair" gives 240 results

looks like "untangle" is the winner for most common usage? strange, I would have said "detangle".

oh, i'd say "nail polishing" too. "Varnish" is what my mom keeps bugging me to do to the wood on the front door...and that shit is like hell to wash off your hands!

sounds like you've got a good business plan, though...maybe soon you'll have a whole day spa at Wacken. :eek: :D

I'd have said disentangle - detangle doesn't sound right to me;)

LOL
seems to be really difficult. :D I guess I´ll keep my sign in German then :D ;)
Thanks anyway, now I´m really curious what the other native speakers might prefer :D
