Happy
Thanks to LHCF i just dropped some knowledge on a wannabe stylist. Here's what happened:
I was talking to a friend and her mother-in-law, when this woman approached us about being a hair model for her. I was not interested, but curious to know more, so i aksed her to explain. She said that she is doing a demo for a Salon in Brooklyn aka trying to get a job. Now I am 8 weeks posts with lots of new growth and trying to stretch for another 4 at least.
She looked at my hair and said i looked like i could use a relaxer. I said i am not interested in relaxing because i'm trying to stretch and it's healthier for MY hair. She said not really. Then i broke it down as far as what happens when you over process and the benefits of stretching. I then went on to say that in any event I only use one Relaxer, PHYTO. She asked if there was a reason i used only that type (didn't know what it was, but that's ok) and why I couldn't use any ole relaxer. I said everyone's hair reacts differently depending on the type of relaxer. She said oh what do you mean
. I then went into lye vs no lye and the various results that one may get.
By this time she is just standing there not knowing what to say, looking slighty bewildered
. I capped it off by letting her know that i belong to a hair care forum, that have countless examples of women that employs some of the methods we discussed with great success. I said as far as hair care goes, i am a do it yourselfer. 
Finally she mumbled something and slinked away. This woman had this short butchered style (not a cute cut) with a patch of cool-aid red in the front, and all slicked down with what appears to be brown gel, or some variation of that. She had the nerve to say you can get a nice style like mine. Uhmmm....Hell to DA . NO!!
As soon as she left my friend and her mother in law bust out laughing.
