As you know, horses attract flies. Because of this, the owner hung big sheets of sticky flypaper in the barn aisles. I had 2 ft long hair at the time, and one time when a horse got scared and almost ran me over, I backed up into a sheet. The top layer of my hair got stuck to this stuff. I mean I was REALLY stuck. We pulled at it. We tugged. We put a solvent on it that the company that manufactured it told us to try. We eventually had to cut it, and I ended up literally having a section of my hair that was 2 inches long. It was hopeless at this point, so I went to a hairdresser and I ended up with a very short haircut which I HATED. The worst thing about it was that everyone thought it was deliberate! I'm still trying to grow out this mess to this day! UGH!
