To the dominicans 😂🤣💀. I’m Dominican and used to be a hair dresser. I don’t remember last time I went to the hair dresser maybe 25 years ago and everytime they ruin my hair 😂only time my hair is beautiful is when I don’t let anybody touch it. I think it has to do with energy
Girl I'm black from Barbados and anytime I let anyone black put relaxer or heat in my hair they damage it. ( except my momma with the hot comb. Lol!)I go to a white salon and my stylist is Polynesian, gay, male with curly hair. I have black braiders and apart from some being too tight ( which I immediately take down and redo myself), the damage is minimal to none. I had some Puerto Ricans do my hair and it was great. Neve been to Dominicans though. I've had African and Caribbean braiders. I've had male stylists and barbers who made me look sharp!
I wear my natural hair....however, I don't use styling products. I don't do tight styles. I shampoo and deep condition with heat weekly. I apply leave-in conditioner mist daily. In the summer I wear my loose afro most of the time. No tight puffs or buns. My main styles are loose afro, flat twists, finger coils, twists and 2 or 3 loose French braids. As long as I do this my hair doesn't have an opportunity to tangle. applying silicone, oil, butter or grease to the ends only stops tangling for me too.
I don’t care about heat damage either. I’ve been wearing my natural hair since middle school. I just want to wear my hair where it’s manageable and easy to deal with. I don’t have hours to deal with wash day or styling my natural hair like how I used to.
@@katythebeauty330 i totally feel you! I think i just have alot going on with work and outside of that to be dedicating a WHOLE day to my hair . Hair can still be healthy in a stretched state
I wear my hair in mini twists, yet I still experience breakage when I take them out to wash my hair 😕 I’ve started wearing my hair stretched with the Revair. I’m hoping that will help me retain length and stop the breakage.
You should try doing a hot oil treatment and letting it sit for a few hours before taking out your mini twists. It helped me TREMENDOUSLY with detangling and minimizing breakage.
I wish I could be a straight hair natural but the way my hair is set up, I'd definitely get straight pieces. I also live somewhere with high humidity...it will 100% revert within a few days. The way my mind is set up..I will be chopping off the straight pieces in the bathroom. Lol! I had heat damage for a year and kept cutting at the salon and in the bathroom....I just didn't like it permanently straight...and it wasn't all over either it was in random places sticking out straight. I like my afro more than my straight hair. I didn't care that it was short because I cut it off in the bathroom I just wanted the straight pieces gone...which defeats the purpose of healthy long hair. Lol! Because I butchered it in the bathroom it didn't look healthy...my poor stylist always has to fix my DIY bathroom/rage cuts. Lol! I was never happy with my flat relaxed hair either. Lol! I learn more towards all curly styles...even my wigs, extensions and hair pieces are wavy or curly. I'm not a buss down straight middle part girl at all. 🙈🙈🙈 I had a bald taper sides Fro-hawk last year with bleach honey blond bayalage highlights. It was probably the most fun and freedom I've ever had with my hair. Detangling was cut in half!! do you boo. I have friends and family who have straight hair relaxed or straight natural and it work for them and I advise everyone to do things that do not cause them stress. Lol! If natural hair is/was stressing you out do not do it!! My sister got locs. Less detangling and styling for sure!
@marleyhill34 haha i used to be the same with heat damage as well. Obsessing over it but then again i started to not care. Thanks for sharing! Definitely wanna explore more with my hair (color and cut) soon!

My two black stylists are great and havent heat damaged my hair. But they charge $125 for a silk press lol
@monica53210 yeah i guess thats the trade off . There one near me running for $220. Maybe one day lol

Honestly that sounds like a good regimen. Whatever works for you! ☺️
I too experience more breakage when my hair is in its natural state

Thank you!
I just got some large cornrows put in today b/c chile the micro styles were not helping me.

I also tried mini twist. I was experiencing the same with fairy knots so i decided it was best to stretch my hair. Thanks for the support 🫶🏾
Have you tried pumpkin seed oil? It seems to make my hair stronger.
@thewordsmith5440 i havent, but ill definitely look into it

Your hair doesn't look dense it looks very fine maybe it has oil in it.
Thanks for the opinion 🤭😅
Both could be true at the same time. Not saying that’s what it is, but you can have fine, dense hair.
That definitely makes sense! Thank you
Have you ever relaxed your hair? Would you ever do it in the future?
Hmmm i never have. I could never say never but as for now this is how i found my hair to be manageable for my lifestyle.
Your beautiful ❤
