Ok, um.............I just know, THIS AINT RIGHT. what you think?

[nakialovesshoes]

When I transitioned & before LHCF, I used to go to the Dominicans faithfully. I ended up with permanent straight pieces because of the heat damage. I can't say that my hair broke off. But I have friends & family who used to swear by the Dominicans (going every week) & they all ended up with very thin hair & went back to their trusty A.A. salons.

 

[lovelexi]

i've got this done before...makes sense why my hair was breaking and my ends thinning. that blow dryer look like it could give somebody third degree burns. never again
ETA: i would be near tears during the end. all of that for straight hair.

 

[OrangeMoon]

erplexed<---I couldn't watch it and the parts I did see I wanted to scream(can't because I'm work) and cover my eyes. All that heat

 

[MsLizziA]

Dont shoot me but i would love to try this once

my 4zzz hair needs heat training

Some may disagree but heat training is just another word for heat damage to me

 

[LushLox]

Yeah I've seen this vid before, makes me cringe every time. And to think some folks get this done every week!!!

 

[Vshanell]

What the hell! I can't believe she flat ironed it after all that. I highly doubt the Dominican salon I go to even have flat irons and I seen them do natural hair just fine... Is it typical for them to use a flat iron after a blow out?

Thats retarded why soooo much heat. She went thru 3 stages of heat.

That's what i was bout to say. Couldn't she have just roller set it then went straight to flat ironing? I'm sure it would get just as straight. Just skip right over that whole blow fry mess.

I'm like the poster that said my hair would just surrender. Chunks of hair would be blowing all over that salon.

 

[Minty]

This is a blow out. It wouldn't have smoked so badly had she not put so much product in the hair.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

I used to go to the Dom. salon all the time and never had damaged hair. I have tried going heat free and light heat and just don't end up with the results Dom. salons gave me. Too bad none are in my town.

 

[Xaragua]

i like the final result, but that is way too much heat.

 

[jamaica68]

Wow! The smoke... :-(

Where there's smoke, there's fire:Run:

 

[Bublin]

In the UK we don't have Dominican Salon's and watching this vid was the first time i had seen what you guys have been talking about on this board for so long.

My first reaction was - wow - her hair is being rollerset and it has come out nice and straight. I presumed she was going to flat iron next.

I was like when i saw the blowdrying part. I actually felt for sorry for the hair shafts - lol - all that heat and the dryer was held point blank onto the hair.

 

[EccentricRed]

The steam coming out just freaked me out. I wanted to dip her head in tub of water! But hey, if she likes it, I love it!

 

[dachsies_rule!]

Wow! It looks like the steam at the dry cleaners...i'm surprised her scalp isn't on fire! :gotroasted:

 

[coolsista-paris]

but do you lose your curls by doing this much heat? i haven't even flat ironed my hair once caus eim toooo scared to damage it!

 

[tricie]

I shivered and screamed a little while watching this; my cat looked at me like

I would be straight up bald after all o' dat!

 

[Neith]

I was like when i saw the blowdrying part. I actually felt for sorry for the hair shafts - lol - all that heat and the dryer was held point blank onto the hair.

That part got me too.

Isn't there supposed to be some space between the hair and the dryer?

People who have seen this done or got it done... do they tend to hold the dryer right up on the hair like that?

Just curious.

 

[French Rouge]

Wow! It looks like the steam at the dry cleaners...i'm surprised her scalp isn't on fire! :gotroasted:

From my Dominican salon experience, I'm going to say the scalp is on fire!

 

[Stormy]

I can get my hair that straight without all that heat! She could have stopped with the blow dryer. And like someone else said I still didn't see no swang!

 

[belldandy]

I got to apl doing this...i was using my chi and blue magic afterwards...i don't recommend it tho.

 

[Toy]

Nah i will pass.

 

[Bnster]

Too long a process and soo much heat being applied. Hair dryer, then blow dryer, then flat iron and at the end the hair looked okay but stiff. I don't know how DBO should be like. It looks like an all day thing. Too much heat in the process. I would pass.

 

[Sianna]

No Ma'am!!!

I've seen Dominican blow out videos on youtube before because I wanted to know what it was. I don't think I ever heard of them till I came to this site.

Anyway, I practically had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw how much heat they were using, but in this case, I am really surprised because of the added roller set! The others I saw skipped that part. If I had not known the perils of heat damage I probably would have thought it was fine, even though that amount of smoke was rather alarming. Now that I know better, I don't want noooo parts of that! erplexed

 

[brg240]

I showed my mom this the other day. This isn't normal for Dominican blow outs? oops let me tell her...

 

[HappilyLiberal]

I've seen that video several times and I just can't make it past the part where she fails to actually wash that girl's hair.

 

[I Am So Blessed]

i bet if there was a sink behind her head while blowdrying, there be mad pieces of broken hairs in there!!

 

[cmbodley]

My nose was turned up the entire time I viewed this it was as if I heard Mystical saying "I smell smoke"

 

[Bnster]

I've seen that video several times and I just can't make it past the part where she fails to actually wash that girl's hair.

I was thinking that too, she didn't even get to the scalp. Was she afraid of her finger getting stuck or something in her client hair? How unsatificating a wash and there was white things left in her hair. In the roller setting you can see they added conditioner or something, something. Majority of the process the hair looked missed treated.

 

[Bublin]

Looking at the clients ends before hand i bet this isn't the first time she's had this done.

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

Her hair looked greasy to me.

 

[swimfan09]

That was NOT a steam blow dryer - that was a regular blow dryer - notice that the smoke was never coming out of the blow dryer until it was POINT BLANK at her hair!!!!!!!!!!!!! With the grease she added before blow drying, her hair was literally being FRIED like chicken by both the blow dryer and the flat iron. did you see all the smoke once with the flat iron?

EVERY blow dryer manufacturer and EVERY book on using a blow dryer ALWAYS say hold the blow dryer 4-6-8 inches away from the hair!

I wish I could be in the shop and smell the air - I know the smell of burning hair. Years ago, when I was a child, my mom took me to this old lady who know how to hot comb hair. Her place always smelt weird, but she would do my hair fast! One day, she was sweeping up her shop while I was under the dryer and instead of throwing the hair from the floor away, she lit a match to it and burned it in an ash tray. BOY, THAT SMELT JUST LIKE MY HAIR WHEN SHE HOT COMBED IT!!!! That was the last time I went to that place!

This poor woman will be bald!!!!!!!!
