Sweetest Taboo
My hair dresser pulled the bait and switch on me today! I went in for a touch up at 9 weeks post touch up. I know I could have and usually do touch up at 12 weeks but I'll be out of town every weekend for the next 3 weeks so I decided to touch up today.
As usual I made an appointment with my usual hair dresser. I ASKED when I called did she have Motions Oil Moisture relaxer in regular. This is what I have been using, this is what works for my hair, THIS is what I asked for. She said yes. She couldn't believe I was coming in before 12 weeks.
I get there she CONFIRMED that I wanted Motions. I SAW a Motions container at her station, I can spot it a mile away. As she takes down my bun she tells me what a good job I've done with my hair, brags to anyone that will listen that she helped me grow out my hair (yeah right).
She sees I already pre treated my scalp and says "Good Job" and proceeds to part my hair and began to apply the relaxer. The very fact that she turned me around so I was NOT facing the mirror should have been my clue.
I proceed to the sink to wash. She shampoos me herself. On my way back to her station I see the rattail comb she used to apply the relaxer (she uses the back not the comb) was in a small white jar. I immediately started to panic, I know a box perm when I see one!
Me: I hope that is not what you used in my hair!
Her: Uh, what do you mean?
Me: I asked for Motions and that's not a Motions jar so I hope you didn't put that in my hair.
Her: What you don't trust me? I take good care of your hair.
Me: TELL ME YOU DID NOT USE THAT IN MY HAIR!
Her: I used Motions it's just in another container.
Me: BULL****! Show me the container!
Of course she wouldn't so I snatched it out of her hands and sure enough it was the container for some No Lye relaxer. You know the kind you mix! I have been using lye relaxers for the past 10 years and Motions Oil for 4 out of the 10. No lye relaxers dry my hair out something terrible. She knows this I know she does. She has been doing my hair for the 7 years I've been in MA.
So I snatched up my coat, put my hat on my wet hair and left. Of course I cried all the way home because I feel like all my progress will be set back by this. She has left 5 messages on my machine apologizing and asking me to call her.
What do I do ladies? I know she used a no lye relaxer on me. There's not a doubt in my mind about that. My hair does NOT do well with a no lye relaxer. It took me years to figure it was the reason for my extreme dryness and frizziness. I just don't know what to do to keep that dryness and frizziness from happening again.
Right now my hair is in a bun with a baggie over it. I'm to pissed to do much more than that right now. ANY ADVICE?
