A debate in class last night...
A new student who impressed the heck out of me with his passion for the business of hair care, the amount of years he spent studying cosmetology in his home country of El Salvador and his knowledge of different hair types and products etc. For real ya'll I was swinging from them I sweatin' so hard. All I could think about was 'hmmm, how much would he want to come work for me?' He talked about his experience working in an AA salon and wow, broke it down to even the amount of heat we use. Ya'll know my position on heat right? He was right with me...I fell in love. Too bad he plays for the other team....
He said that DC'ing under a steamer is pointless and in fact, a hooded dryer is better because it will allow the product to penetrate better than a steamer. Ya'll he broke it down by saying, (as he batted his eyelashes about 100 times per second as if to say 'beeeyaaaa...looka hur...' ) that steamers were invented around 1945 (then I just giggled my lil' heart out) for women who wore perms and who needed to make the hair very curly and very fast. Because you can't process the chemical under dry heat, the steamer was the best alternative. [need to research this]
I thought the steamer was better, which is why we [LHCF] love a good steam treatment and for some [ahem] would die for a steamer right about now.
However, my teacher said held the opposing view. He was very adamant and stated 'well I'm the instructor and so I'm telling you...' in front of the whole class [booooooooo...]. Mind you, he interrupted the casual & pleasant conversation we were having (mainly him and I) while the others listened intently. Once someone bogarts with no facts, you know it's more about power tripping then an exchange of ideas [teehee, in hair school? right.]or about education.
So, what say you, any scientist in the house to break it down? Sid, where are you?
