What do you ladies think?

[lisatamika]

I have a friend who is a braider/stylist who I have talked about before is this thread: My friend is an unenlightened hater!!. By the way, everytime I see her now she RAVES about my hair

. I have let her do my hair on occasion (before joining LHCF) and even though her specialty is those crazy stiff styles and braids, I tell her what I want and she's always done a good job.

I want to let her flat iron it for me (after I wash and deep condition it) for a special occasion next Saturday, but my DH says I shouldn't let her. He thinks she may be jealous and that I shouldn't let a "chickenhead" do my hair even though I have before. Now that I'm getting pickier and pickier about my hair, I'm really thinking about what he said.

What should I do?

What have you allowed her to do to your hair in the past? If you think she is going to burn your hair on purpose I wouldn't chance it.

Follow your first mind. If you're feeling hesitant, maybe you shouldn't go to her.

I wouldn't! I know you worked to hard to gain your healthly locks.
If anything just get her to do a rollerset, especially if shes uses those irons.

Don't do it. If she hated like that before, I would not allow her to touch my hair, especially not with 500 flat iron

Better safe than sorry.

 

[lisatamika]

She has flat ironed it before and she's an excellent braider. This is the first time I've actually had second thoughts about her doing my hair.

 

[jaibee]

you're having second thoughts for a reason. don't let her do it, even though she did good before.

I wouldn't take any chances asking a frienemy to do my inch-from-brastrap hair. If you're capable of straightening it yourself, you should. I'm just risk averse.

Curious: Did she flat iron it nicely before or after the nasty comments mentioned in your other post?

 

[lisatamika]

before

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

So what have you decided to do or are you still deciding?

 

[lisatamika]

I don't know. Maybe nothing at all. Everytime we are around his family I have my fony pony on so my DH just wants to show me off. I may just do my usual bun and call it a day. He will just have to get over it.

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

You could still get it flat ironed, just not by her as the majority of us have said.

I rarely post but I have been a lurker on here for a long time.
Your husband is right. NEVER let a "chickenhead" do your hair, I know this from experience.

I have a "friend" who does hair. (She also specializes in stiff styles and braids, etc.) So I decided to let her put some interlock braids in my hair. BIG MISTAKE. I have had interlocks plenty of times so I figured that no one can mess these up. I was so wrong. She had been complaining to me about 8 months prior that she has a big bald spot (that tingles) in the center of her head. I told her to lay off of the chemicals... she went natural.

Since I wear a bun 95% of the time (I am natural too) She was constantly asking me ... how long is your hair?

Long story short.. she did a lot of damage to my hair. My husband said that he thinks she did it on purpose. I kind of feel that way too. This was a while ago so needless to say my hair is fine now but save yourself the heartache Please.

If she was always good at flat-ironing, I'd let her do it, but I'd also threaten her as well (if you screw my hair up on purpose, I'll......). We can threaten our friends.
