Okay, so I decided to visit an Italian hair salon today. The salon is across the street from my house and it's called Avant Garde. They boast about doing celebrity hair like Gwen Stephanie and such.
My hair type is 4a and currently 2 weeks post relaxer.
First thing they did was wash my hair with Kerastase Oleo Relax. I think he used the conditioner too. While the conditioner was in my hair he brushed through it with a Denman! I was like
erplexed. Then he rinsed my hair and detangled it again with Denman. I was TERRIFIED! I have never seen that much hair on a brush from my head before. So, I'm panicing, but still being diplomatic. After all Italian stylist study hair for 4 years before getting licensed.
Once detangled, he began straightening my hair with a round brush and blow dryer. He didn't use any serum, product or anything, just blow dryed and brushed.
When done, I swear I felt my hair and it was like Jennifer Aniston straight and smooth! He ran through it once with a flat iron.
He then asked, you need layers, it's much better and your hair will have a curve shape instead of flat.
So, I said okay sure! He began layering it. During this process, I started to cry, not because I didn't like it but because I felt like I was doing something wrong. Like, I'm used to my hair being thick with a slight kink even after relaxing.
And the sinful part about it was that I loved feeling the heat from the blow dryer on my head!!!!
I haven't had heat against my hair like that in a grip!
Needless to say, it's a sin to be black and hair hair like this. But, if it's wrong......I don't want to be right!!!!!
And of course, I made an appointment to go back in 2 weeks.
