Hey!
Ok so I booked a one on one with Reniece. First she did an assessment of my dry hair and we had a good discussion about my wants for my hair, concerns, how my schedule affects my hair regimen, my hair regimen itself, bad hair habits etc. During this time she was gently touching my hair, looking at my scalp and told me what issues she saw (mainly significant dryness and breakage) and we talked about what the cause may be (i.e. gaps in my reggie, overmanipulation, diet etc.)
After that she told me her suggestions on how to tackle these issues, and we went through step by step how my wash day should go. Literally step by step. She asked me to show her for example how I detangle, then showed me her technique/how to improve my technique. We did this through the entire process from detangling to blow drying. I was able to see how I could cut down wash day to 2 hrs instead of the entire day. And for the first time my blow dried hair felt light and fluffy and not crispy!
After blow drying, she gave me a good trim which I clearly needed, and braided me up so I could put back on the wig I wore.
I also got a suggested regimen for moisturising during the week, as well as products to use. Now she did not push her own products, I admire her for that. She asked me to bring what I would typically use, including my blowdryer so I could use the tools I am familiar with. She tried the DC I brought on one section and did not like how it reacted with my hair. It literally just sat there. Lol! Then she used her own product (based on her assessment we did initially) on another section. Her dc won hands down. She was sold out of the dc that we preferred so I pre-ordered it before I left. I also bought the hair oil and pomade she recommended for my hair type.
Overall she recommended a moisture heavy regimen (for now) and protective styling re: what works for my busy schedule right now.
She was so gentle y'all, and genuinely sweet. Worth every single penny. I will be back in approx 3 months for reassessment.

! I am headed to the airport now so I will give a full update when I get to some free wifi.
I am. LOL. I took the opportunity during this trip to to also do some shopping (I haven't been on a US shopping trip for the year, so it was time) and meet up with some friends.
