Mr. John sounds a lot like the hairdressers that I had when I was younger. My hair was so curly and soft that it was easier to "train" the hair to hang straight than really deal with the texture. It worked for a while and I had long hair but, as I got older and the texture change my hair became hard to deal with and then I went to a relaxer.(That's another story) Mr. John probably doesn't like flat irons because he hasn't really used them. I was recently getting my tracks tightened and one of the older hair stylist said she had taken a class on staw sets but did quite know how to do them....so when my cousin asked my stylist to do it for her the older lady gave my cousin about ten reasons why she should not get a straw set.
One thing I learned when I work in a salon is a stylist will do what works for them and often make all of their cleints look the same way. They don't want to understand new things because it might appear that they don't know as much as they thought about hair and most of the older stylist hate to be wrong.
I am curious though I might buy the book...just to see everything he says.
Oh yeah, the only way hair can mildew is being wet under a weave or a wig and not getting air. AA stylist discourage lots of water use for 2 reasons: 1. If we find out how to care for our hair we won't need to go to the salon as often and 2. If we grow our hair to great lenghts they won't know how to care for it when we do vist the salon.
Sorry this is so long but, I missed you guys!
