I recently told you all about my Dominican experience and how pleased I was with the results.
Well, that was all before I decided to wash my hair last night.
As soon water hit my hair a terrible burnt smell filled the shower and my hair was not reverting like it usually does.
I washed it and conditioned it and as I de-tangled it with my fingers, clumps of hair fell out.
SO was in the shower with me and he had to pry my fingers out of my hair while I was screaming and crying. (He knows all about LHCF and my obsession with my hair).

So I did an overnight protein treatment and my hair is still limp and dead. It looks like I had a bad perm, some pieces are stick straight and some pieces are wavy. My thick, bouncy and curly natural hair is ruined and as of today I am starting my second transition. 2 years of growing my hair out and being diligent and protecting my hair....down the MF-ing drain.

I am do disappionted and totally devastated.
I don't want to post any pictures at this point because my almost APL natural hair is gone and I don't need any forther reminder of mo how effed up my hair is.

I just hope that if you are considering doing a DB, think long and hard, and never underestimate the damage heat can do to your hair.

Sweetie..... I am so sorry.... No words No words.....:nono: Hugs.......
 
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. I just know that you will bounce back from this. You'll get those gorgeous curls back quicker than you think. Hugs to you girl!
 
I am sorry you are going through this. I never believed in stick straight hair. I question my beauticain about my perm because my hair is so straight afterwards it's limp. Take care.
 
im sorry this happen to you! if you want your hair to come back to its natural state I heard that beer rinses gets it back and strenghten your hair

Lopez where you get off on Utica? If so YEAAAAH, they use major heat... :/
 
I am so sorry Ms Norway. I can't imagine how you are feeling. I have a friend in NYC and when she left Texas she had STUPIDLY THICK, relaxed MBL hair with super blunt, thick ends. It was dream hair. I saw her about a month ago and her hair is thinner and much shorter. I casually commented that she'd cut off all her long hair to which she replied "naw, it was them d*** Dominicans" and she proceeded to tell me how going to Dominicans had damaged her hair.
 
Im really sorry to hear this. I know youll be back on track in no time. You should definitely complain and at the very least get your money back, personally Id be tempted to burn that salon down ( not that I would) Ive had my hair severely damaged by Dominicans in the past. Baby your hair and never trust a "beautician" again :nono:
 
My heart goes out to you. Stay strong snd keep up the practices that got you those beautiful curls. Time and patience will heal this wound. Lots of hugs.
 
I am so sorry that happened to you. Geez, every year that I'm on this site, the more anti-salon I become.
 
Dominican blowouts can be very beneficial with the combination of the right products and the right people doing it. It really just sounds like you went to a bad salon. :( So sorry.
 
i've had some bad heat damage from a hair dresser i know how upsetting it can be heck i cried for 3 days. that salon sounds bad never thought heat could make your hair shed like that but hair grows and it will take time but things will get better
it's one salon you know never to go near ever again

your hair will recover
sorry that happened to you

Just out of curiosity - besides getting really straight hair - what are some of the other benefits? I recently went to a salon (rated the best in NYC by Latina magazine) and ended up having some breakage as well. I'm inclined to say that eventual damaged hair is inherent in the dominican blowout.......

BUMPING!

How's your hair doing now? We need an update!

My hair is doing better, it is stronger but it has not fully reverted back to the kinky curly. Now it's more curly wavy and straight pieces... My hair is pretty much a mess :sad:
At least it is not breaking like crazy anymore.
I have done heavy protein (Aphogee) and I have been DC-ing 3 times a week and kept my hair pretty much wet at all times.
I am happy that I didn't lose more hair but I am also sad because pretty much 2 years of caring for my hair went down the drain..
Oh well, you like and you learn...

Thank you ladies so much for all your encouragement. I was totally devastated by this.
I :giveheart: you all.

So do you think the curl pattern will return? Are you going to do small trims every so often?
Click to expand...

I don't think the straight pieces are about to curl up anytime soon. I will just leave it alone for now and when it starts getting longer I will do trims.
Right now I just want to focus on completely stopping the breakage.
 
wow, if that's the case, then you really need to go back to that salon and threaten to sue them. they had NO right to put any kind of chemical in your hair that would have permanent effects without your permission. fwiw i stopped going to salons a long time ago because i realized that i'm the only one who cares enough to treat my hair with the love and attention it deserves. i only get it trimmed professionally about once a year -- that's after i have straightened it myself so all they have to do is use their scissors and my detailed instructions.
 
Sorry about your hair. :( So what did they do to it--blow dry and flat iron? This is why I just try to do my hair as best I can myself. Most stylists (including Dominicans) use wayyy more heat than is necessary.
