Thaaanks!!!
No offense taken! As an african american woman, I've seen that alot of our "hair stylist" practice more style than hair health. I wanted my hair to be healthy so I laid off of heavy product use yeeeaaars ago! My other black friends thought I was crazy because I refused to use hair gel, jam, spritz, or any other alcohol based product in my hair. Before I found Ella's salon in Atlanta 7 years ago, I would just pull my hair back into a pony tail. Once I found out about Dominican salons, I became addicted. I started using roundbrushhair.com to order products, and just took an interest in different techniques to make my hair healthy. Even though I love going to Dominican salons, I ran across a few in Atlanta that either didn't care what the outcome was like, or the amount of heat she used, or the way she treated their customers, as long as they paid her $$$...so with that being said, it's not just black stylist who don't do hair right. You'll find some who do practice healthy hair techniques. Just like not all dominican stylist will give you a perfect blow out. But I feel you! And I'm taking a vow to get off of that creamy crack! I've been in rehab for about 2 months now so wish me luck! And I will be trying out Melania this weekend thanks to this forum! Thank you ladies!
Well for example:
1.- the girl that was doing my hair is an afro-american girl, she use to put the relaxer in my hair as she was putting a hair color with a brush, that use to burn my scalp right away I couldn't stand the relaxer more than 5 mins. and my hair is not that kinky and she was using a super strong relaxer in my hair.
2.- she didnt put the rollers in my hair, she comb it the way I wanted (the hair being wet yet) and put me under the hairdryer.
3.- instead of using a blower to do my hair, she used a hair iron and packed my hair with an oil or grease and my hair was all flat and not wavy.
My hair wasn't growing at ALL, and she just wanted to trim my hair because the ends were splitting, I wonder why :tired:.
NO OFFENSES TO ANYONE but to most of the black girls their hair don't grow that much, thats why they have to wear the hair extensions.
