I don't have anyone to do my hair

[HeChangedMyName]

My mini-vent
It is relaxer time and I've been doing my own hair for years. Since I have been on a healthy hair journey, I have even cut out my periodic trips to a professional. I just came to the realization today that I don't have ANYONE whom I trust to put this relaxer in my hair. I just don't feel like doing it myself. I want a relaxer and rollerset and I know that will take hours and it is a scary thought that there is NOONE to help a sista out. We need a regional hair management team thread or something. I would trust someone from the boards to do my hair before I would trust someone who doesn't know the truth about hair. I have to make it to the next Charlotte area meetup because I need some hair backup. Let me put in my resume now just incase this gets taken seriously.

I can do twist sets, braidouts, and relaxers. uhm. I can whip a flat iron pretty well too.

I totally understand where you are coming from. Someone offered to pay for a salon visit and I refused. I don't think I can ever trust my hair to be done by a "professional" stylist. I have too many rules (don't do this, don't do that) and I have too much knowledge to put my hair in someone else's hands.

By the way, never do your relaxer on a day that you feel "blah." Do your hair when you feel good about yourself. Trust me, it'll look and feel better.

you can go to a dominican salon. you tell them exactly what you want and they will do what you say. they are usually cheaper and you can just get a doobi which would be no direct heat if you want.
there is only one person i trust with my hair and i still dont go to her as often anymore because of the heat she uses. so when i dont feel like doing it myself i just go to the domincans and bring my own deep conditioner.

Same thing happened to me, my older cousin offer treat me to a salon day when i was going to visit her and I had to let her know that I don't trust salons with my hair.

If you want something done right, you got to do it yourself.

This is actually one of the reasons I went natural. I do my hair myself now (except the rare occasion I flat iron--I still need help then).

I wish I had a dominican salon near me, but even still, I'd be all iffy about having someone in my head. Angelicus, I know what you mean about doing your hair in a blah mood. I did a relaxer and a set one night at about 12:30-1:00 and my head looked a mess. it wasn't fully processed, I had nappy newgrowth, straight edges, some burning. plus the set ended up in a pony
