I think like another poster said, that you have long healthy hair, thus you gotta be an "hispanic senorita" 
...Just take it as a compliment most people don't know any better.

It just depends...she could have meant texture or simply that your hair is similar to the majority of Dominicans in her experience.
This Puerto Rican guy told me I had Dominican hair. I told him "No, I don't. I have Trini hair." Let him wrap his head around that one. LOL.
These people, for example, are Puerto Rican...just from an area with plenty African descendants.

For the people lacking reading comprehension who seem to think O.P is a silky 3a who knows the deal and fishing for compliments and playing the innocent.
It's best to read without knee jerk reactions.
OP, as someone stated, next time ask.
if you do, come back and let us know the answer.

Because thanks isn't enough. My hurr straight is bsl but blown-out it's huge and a lil' past shoulder length, but I receive the most compliments/attention when it's blown out and glorious. And it's shocking when people don't label your own natural volume as black but as something else. It's confusing

EXACTLY!!...she don't have the worlds perception of "good hair" so saying she has dominican hair would seem odd (why is that hard for people to get?)!!!....If someone looked at my nappy hair and made it seem exoctic i would be confused too!! well that or think the person is BS'ing....smh.. 3somethings always get the "your hair is so beautiful"....us nappies usally get the "girl, why you aint comb that head" (at least i have 
)

WhippedButterCreme Yes, it is so strange (but kinda understandable) that something that is so natural to us, is no longer associated with us. We've been altering our hair textures for so long. When I first went natural a few years ago, I was walking around at work with my 4a out, and one of my co workers (old Asian man) basically asked me if I was wearing a wig. I was like... dafuq?!
You see a black woman walking around with an afro and your first inclination is that it must be a wig?

listen its a hair board and im new. its takes less than five minutes to answer a question thats it. some of you need to be a little nicer to newbies. stop expectin newbies to know what you know. stop saying o GO LOOK FOR IT. thats rude. i dont care if the question was asked a million times. when your heads where here in this same predicament somebody took the time you answer your questions.
I did not expect the rudeness wen i came here. with the same amount of time you typed those letters to answer this post rudely you could have contributed something positive.
just because you got passed your SL-APL-BSL whatever doesnt mean youre better than others

My aunt's hair was type 3 when she was younger. As she's gotten older it gradually loosened to type 2 and now in her late 50's, early 60's it just grows out straight type 1.

I am not saying it doesn't exist but I have not seen any AA with type 1 hair. Maybe if the are biracial but I haven't seen one but the world is big so I know at least one exist.
My aunt isn't biracial, but her father (my grandfather) was.

I agree. Most threads have recycled topics honestly.
I think that some of the more seasoned members here just know how left field threads about race/ethnicity can go. That's why you have some members that will say, "not again.."
If you ever do come across an old thread that's similar to this one, you'll see. Everything in this thread seems pretty tame so far though.
But I agree with another member. I would ask the stylist directly what in the world she meant. I'm sure it'd be a interesting explanation
