Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

Always feel weird when it is time to pay for salon services. I feel like the stylist thinks I don't tip enough especially since I am a TU visit only. Do you tip? If so, is it % or flat rate tip?

don't feel bad...I rarely tip...they're getting paid and I always feel like they're ripping me off anyway :ohwell:

EDIT: Maybe I'll grow out of this cheapness when I graduate. But for now I'm playing the broke student card :look:

I am so mad at you all. Why didn't you tell me that using Hawii 14 in 1 would make my hair so soft and moisturized?
Why didn't some one tell me to use hot six oil when I have been making my own oil blend this whole time and spend some serious money on it.
Why didn't you tell me that Ecostyler with lay down my unruly edges and make my hair so shiny and soft?

I thought we were besties. It's cool, I aint make atcha I got nuttin but love for ya.

I went to Jazma (if you know it) and they washed my hair before relaxing and downgraded my hair — at the time when my hair was only SL but thick and moderately "healthy". Needless to say, with the confusing way they did my hair and the downgrading, I never went back. :lol:

*Goes to watch the video*

ETA: People need to make shorter videos that get to the point quicker without having their dog and whatever interrupt. :look:

From the sounds of what I am reading she got a keratin treatment.

Also I just watched the video and she said the process. I think she is just calling it a relaxer because it did relax her curl.

She did not get what we know of is a relaxer.
 
divachyk, do what makes you feel comfortable. The stylist shouldn't be giving you the side-eye because at least she's getting a tip in the first place on top of getting paid. I understand AlliCat's point but I'm just a big believer in tipping because I know if I was working at a job that doesn't really give me 6-figures, I'd be really happy with the tips I get to help add to what I already earn to make a living. From my understanding hairdressers don't always make a whole lot of money anyway so I tip because I appreciate that they're giving me a service I couldn't do or chose not to do at home.
 
I feel like my hair regimen is gonna stop working again. So when I wash my hair this weekend I'm going to DC with my VO5 Clarifying Conditioner instead of my usual. That always seems to work wonders.:grin:
 
Henna is awesome! I'm a believer!

Not only do my edges look fuller (they also could be actually growing, I'm throwing the kitchen sink at them) but my hair is a nice warm reddish brown instead of it's usually mousy color. And the highlights I've had for almost a year? Rejuvenated!

And my hair feels so soft yet strong. Ive got hands in hair disease like a ****! What would I do without LHCF?!

I sprayed these twists down with BRX braid spray AND some CFCG this morning. Hopefully this lasts until I get off of work.

So I left a tiny bit of my edges out with this sew in, and I was basically just letting them sit there. Not tying them down, not moisturizing them, nada. And they were getting dry and tangled.

So last night, I decided to be a big girl and apply some s-curl and some leave in to them, and make a tiny flat twist on each side to put the hair away in a safe way that would leave my edges safe.

And since my edges, are primarily NG, it's nice to have that hair tucked away.
