Well Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) is basically a metal and non-metal or a polyatomic ionic compound. As far as heat conductivity, she actually may have some truth to it because you're bringing together a cation and anion which both have a positive charge and negative charge which neutralizes each other. Now the Alkaine metals (the Sodium) conducts heat and may in fact activate it in the areas she indicated.
I hope this makes sense lol....

wow, good thing you didnt get her to do a relaxer first! and it goes to show that actions speak louder than words (look how good she sounded at the consultation!). Did you actually walk out on her as she was doing your hair? Did you pay? Will you take her up on observing her do a relaxer (this should be interesting)?
She wasnt listening to you at all and that is terrible for a stylist /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/mad.gif /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Hell no, I didn't pay her. All she did was shampoo me and assaulted my wet hair with a hair brush! I don't think I was rude about it. I said to her, "please stop. this isn't working for me", put on my scarf and hat and left. She didn't even say anything. There have been times in the past (before I knew better) when I just sat there and let hair dressers do all kinds of harsh things to my hair, but, no more!

I just scheduled an appointment at a JC Penney salon. I talked to the salon manager and asked her to recommend her best hair dresser. According to the manager, this hair dresser is the top one in the salon. We'll see...

Going to the salon shouldn't make me feel like a vigilante, always on the lookout for errors. The salon experience should really be pampering. Just my 2 cents

This is exactly how I feel these days! Going to a "professional" to get your hair done should not be a traumatizing event.

/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Hmm... sounds like there's some validity to her theory. Actually, I may end up going to hairdresser #2 if all else fails. I'm holding out for someone else because she only uses no-lye relaxers (Mizani and some other brand) and I prefer lye.

Listening to all this is crazy. We have to be picky. I too was afraid to speak up, I would just sit there thinking I'm never coming back, never had the nerve to get up and leave. But that's better than paying for crap.
I been there with stylist thing. My current hairdresser is a man (no press ons - all male /images/graemlins/smile.gif ) and I like him, but his shop is bootleg and he has his own perm and he pushes it, I told him last time that I wanted to switch by to Affirm and he keeps telling me why it's no good. I think if I really stand firm, he'll do it, but I myself am kind scared of what might happen to my hair due to the switch.
I really don't like the location and look of his shop but he's sweet and I don't know how to tell him. Should I look for the perfect stylist or work with him to whip him into shape??
This is funny one day me and my daughter went for retouch and he had his wife who is also a hairdresser mostly braids, had a head full of weave he asked if it was ok if he based and she relaxed one of us me and my daughter just look at each other then I said I'll wait and my daughter said it does'nt matter (but she was lying) I had never met his wife before and I had a bad feeling. She sensed that we did'nt want her and out of wisdom she said "Ed, they want you so I going upstairs," She took her gloves off I was like YES. But my daughter feeling sorry for her says again, "It does'nt matter you can do me". My daughter had braids just taken out and the lady was like, I can't tell where your line is cause it's all so wavy /images/graemlins/blush.gifoo: I was like Lord Jesus, Save my child.. But she did it and did a good job. But I ain't lying I was scared when I saw all that weave.
I wish I knew how to relax my own, maybe I should practice with some whip cream and doll cause hairdresser scare me now. When I think of all the stuff I was told and what I know now... It's downright scary

do it yourself.
yesyes! I think you should do your own. /images/graemlins/smile.gif /images/graemlins/smile.gif I am practicing my technique (using myhairsos rubberband tech.) with cholesterol. I use the gloves so I get the real feeling, time myself and everything. I plan to practice again today. If it goes well then I am planning on doing my own retouch next Saturday.
When you do it yourself you
1.know what you are using
2. can always get the perfect appointment time
3. are sure your stylist is someone who cares about your hair!
