Foxy, I spoke to ChoclatePrincess whose been going to that hairdresser for many years. This is what she had to say. She couldn't post the message herself as she just sent off her payment and hasn't been credited as yet.
From: ChoclatePrincess
Foxy I heard about your drama and I'm so so sorry to hear that and I am definitely crying with you. You know that I have gone to this beautician for over 10 years and have never had a problem. I just got a relaxer on Saturday and she washed my hair about 3 or 4 times. She did however after rinsing out the relaxer, put the conditioner in before using the neutralizer shampoo (which she has never done to me before) and then proceeded to wash again twice, then put conditioner (but no deep condition), rinsed, put Infusium and then rolled. I didn't realize that she was putting the conditioner before the neutralizer until it was on my hair and I smelled it (that's how I know what she's using without looking, by the smell) and it didn't smell like the neutralizer shampoo. I have never seen her only wash someone's hair once. She usually rinses the relaxer completely before putting any shampoo in. I don't doubt what your saying because I definitely see the difference in your hair. I just have a few questions, because I'm trying to understand how and why this happened to you...When did you first notice a change in your hair? You said you went three weeks ago, did you go back to get your hair washed again? Was this your first time using the Affirm relaxer? As Diva said, did you use anything different than your usual products in your hair during the 3 weeks after the relaxer or even before the relaxer?
Never be afraid to speak when someone is doing YOUR hair. Whenever someone is about to put something in my hair I ALWAYS ALWAYS read the bottle first! If you are 100% confident that she was the cause of this, then you should go speak to her about it and if you have your pics of your hair handy, I would bring those too.

Hey chocolate,
I haven't tried anything new at all. I been doing the same ol, same ol, I didn't go back to her to get my hair washed, i washed it myself three days later. I noticed the change a couple of days ago (my hair looked see see thru, and FELT thinner..and i couldnt' get rid of this soft gummy feeling no matter how much protein i used. It wasn't til 2-3 days ago when i sectioned my hair did i notice the gaps where there used to be hair.
I been using affirm relaxer for years.
I would feel better if i thought i caused the damage, b/c then i would at least feel responsible and know that i caused my own grief. But i honestly can say that i haven't done anything new. You are right i will never keep quiet again.
Did she base your scalp? and i noticed she conditoned you after she shampooed..she refused to condition me after, i even offered her my humecto. She said i didn't need it. I'm a little hesistant to go back to her only because i feel that there is nothing that she can do to get my hair back that i can't do at home (protein treatments etc)..do you think i should go back?

She didn't base my scalp as she usually doesn't. She didn't give me a deep conditioner but she did put conditioner in my hair and then rinsed it out. Actually after rinsing out the relaxer she put conditioner before putting the neutralizing shampoo which really had and has me worried now that I see what happened to you. I know my relaxer is still fresh but my hair is a little too straight and very soft. I know that some women on the forum have done conditioning before neutralizing and have had great results but this is not the norm for me so I guess that's why I'm a little nervous now. I'm not going to worry about it until I see a whole bunch of hair coming out, which I haven't and it's been 2 weeks. Definitely go back there and talk to her about your hair and what's been happening. You don't necessarily have to let her do your hair but just make her aware of what happened.
