That was so cool. I headed over to Sally's yesterday to get some stuff (ear protectors) do to my first time to do it yourself relaxer and waited to get the sales associate (SA) attention on where they were. The SA was helping a customer (CUS), so I waited patiently.
While waiting I overhead the CUS requirements and the SA was recommending the Aphogee product line for the break damage the CUS had. I ended up giving my advice on the products and things to do to recover from the breakage.
Sally's SA was very knowledgeable she's on her own hair journey. The only thing I wouldn't recommend the whole Aphogee product line (she (SA) excluded the leave-in protein) right down to the shampoo which has SLS. I couldn't say anything to it since I never tried it b4. Anyhow the CUS was looking at my hair and stated it was full. I self conscious about compliments and thinking the fulliness is due to my ng, stated it was my new growth. She asked if I had a weave and told her no it is mine (my hair was up and few strands hangin). Told her I was doing a 6 months stretch, etc (thinking how messy my hair looks with NG and straight strands).
Later at the cash still talking to her and Sally's SA, she put her hands in my hair. I then realize she didn't believe me it was all mine and she weaved checked me. Wow my 1st weave check which is kind of cool! I didn't mind - I guess it is all in the circumstances.
She said she goes to the salon weekly, when she flat irons doesn't use heat protectant and just added color streaks to her hair (We advice her on the do's and don'ts). CUS had a lot of damage to the front, top and back of her hair. Her roots were strong with the NG.
She bought a lot of products/tools (hair dryer/steamer) and was going to start doing her own weekly care at home and lay off the relaxer for a while. I wish her luck. I told her about this website, gave her a few youtube ladies to watch and my e-mail. I ended buying her a satin pillowcase and a net for when she roller sets.
The Sally's lady who was very knowledgeable was in weaves for protective styling and was looking for a good leave-in. I both told them about well.ca to order NTM and for the lady at Sally's I will go back this Friday and give her a little sample of Beemine luscious leave-in (she knew about that too).
It is so cool to talk with someone IRL about AA hair care.
Just wanted to share.

Before I knew it, I probably would have shooed her out of my hair...that's too close for comfort...but you hadled it quite well!
