I never tried to do it on my own hair but have been to many Domincan salons. They wash & rollerset the hair and then blow dry the dry hair to be much straighter. When I was having it done, it always looked like I got a fresh relaxer even if I was 10 - 12 weeks post.

Many salons will also just blow out the roots (upon request) instead of the entire head.

SO - Are you saying that they rollerset - Then put a blow dryer on roots????

Yep, exactly! It's to straighten out the roots to match the relaxed texture. For naturals they probably get the whole head blown out?

There is a video of blowing out the roots on healthytextures.com

I really want to get a dominican blowout, but I don't know of any good salons near me. I'm from the houston area any suggestions.

I've actually never gotten a dominican blowout in America. When I went to DR, a few years ago, I discovered that they did this. They blew out my roots so straight, I lovedddd it! That plus the warmth definataly made my hair grow.

Curious. Why do you think that made your hair grow? That sounds like a lot of heat (damage).
