white hairstylist to me: "you need a relaxer"

[Supergirl]

Girl, she learned in beauty school that if the roots are wavy and the rest is straight then that client "is due for a relaxer touch-up." She is probably fresh out of beauty school and overly eager to try and use what she thinks she learned. :crazy:

Just do your own hair and forget about those stupid people they only learn so much in Beauty school and even if they had 200 years of experience they will still be reaching for the TCB Perm

I haven't been to a stylist but once in the last year. I'm desperately trying to learn how to do my own trims. The last time I made the V uneven. It wasn't so bad, but I figured for $5 I could just go and get it overwith by someone who SUPPOSEDLY knew what she was doing. And I liked that V, and now it's all blunt.

For the record, I think I was more taken aback by her face and the way she said it than the fact that someone suggested I need a relaxer. I wasn't offended enough to let it bother me per se, I just didn't expect that to come out of her mouth. She clearly wasn't listening when I said I was natural. Looking on the bright side...maybe I just did THAT GOOD of a flat iron job.

Years ago I had a white male hairstylist tell me that I need a "light relaxer." He also told me my hair was breaking from using rubber bands all the time. He did a good job on my hair. It all depends where the white hairstylist is coming from:either she has knowledge about black hair or she's just picking up some ghetto stuff she got from black hairstylist.

I know this is a bit off topic but.....If you didn't want layers or a blunt cut what did you want?
