All I can say is wow! The venom spewed from my hairdresser from returning to her after my 12 week stretch was something to behold. After a couple of pleasantries, she began to scold me for avoid her for 3 wks. She was like, "what happened to you, where have you been for so long?" I said, "well I decided to stretch my hair this summer."
"You know you hair is not the type to stretch. Send me a photo in 5 years and your hair will completely break off."
She then began to rip through my new growth something fierce. As I winced from the pain, "don't blame me--it thanks to your bright idea. I can't believe you came in here with this mess to work through." She let it sit for 5 min. After rinsing it out I saw a ball of hair, unlike I have ever seen. "Well, it is going to break some more while I rollerset. You will see that same type of hair loss after someone removes braids from having it a long time. You don't know what you are doing (from stretching). Do me a favor next time, let the professionals who know what they are doing and been in the business a long time do your hair." I was like, I did nothing for 3 months but wash and deep condition. I asked, "do you expect people to be ignorant about their hair? I understand it is a business, but there is something liberating about not having to rely on someone to take care of my hair.
"I'm glad I am leaving you with healthy hair, that is all I am saying. It is healthy now. But you cannot stretch," she said. "And now I have to charge you extra for needing additional relaxer."
I was so glad to be done with her. She was personable, but always took it personal whenever I did something to my hair. I asked her about henna--she said relaxed cannot do henna. All the while saying nothing about putting cassia in my hair on Monday. BTW, I am very happy about the result--the cassia and touch-up made my hair feel like a Dominican blowout after the roller set. Lesson learned: set my hair and stretch for until Nov-Dec.
