Thick Hair

 

hi this is the frist time my daughter is getting her hair straghtin by the dominican hair salon and i hear that they really
straghtin your hair and she is kind of scard of geting burend and is it good for her tomget her hair straght becaus eshe ha svery thick long hair so please reply back thanks

Hola amiga :)

Getting burned is a matter of how the stylist performs. There are some who never touch the scalp with the heat, then there are others who make you feel as if they are holding a blow torch. So, that question is relative; you know what I mean?

As for whether or not it’s good for your daughter to straighten her hair, you must keep in mind that all procedures that are unnatural to your hair come with some kind of risk. You didn’t say whether or not she was getting a relaxer, or just a blowout.

Naturally, a blowout would impose the least amount of risk. An occasional blowout, by someone qualified, would not be too bad. But again, this is based on using the right stylist. Relaxing the hair, while it alters your hair, does have a higher risk for damage, but can make thick hair manageable. I can tell you this from personal experience :)

Hope this helps,

    Occassionally going to the salon for a blow out might not cause damage (depending on the hair type and the technique used by the stylist). If you go to the salon faithfully every week like I used to, you’re just asking for your hair to be fried, dyed and laid to the side LOL

    please please please tell me what brand Dryer i should buy to blowout my hair. I have tried so many yet none of them get as hot as the ones they use in the dominican salon. I moved from NY
    to NC and I cannot find a salon within 200 miles of my address so I’m trying to do it myself. So please if you can tell me the exact model to purchase I will be forever greatful. YOUR HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL.

    Hola Myisha, thank you so much for the compliment!!!

    I use a Turbo 1500 by Pibbs. I’m sure there are better ones now, but that’s the one I have, got it used.
    I totally feel your pain! Once you get used to having your hair done a specific way, there’s little satisfaction from getting it done differently.
    Focus on doing your rolos; if you don’t get your rolos down, then the blowing part won’t mean much.

    Good luck,

    LaNegra

    LaNegra, I was able to find an awesome Pibbs dryer on Craig’s List for only $75 bucks. I bought it off a salon owner that was upgrading her dryers. I may eventually buy a new one, but for now this one works just fine.

    Maria, was it the blower of the bonnet? If she charged you $75 for the bonnet, that’s a steal. If that’s the price for the blower…not that much of a bargain :(
