Beauty Shop cont...
So I went to holla at my peeps at the beauty shop today. I was expecting to practice hair braiding. I was explaining to her the other day how we weave hair and such and such. So she asked if I could show her...on my own head. She had some extensions and I agreed to show her how to sow the hair in. I put a few braids in my own hair (which was fairly easy) and showed her how to sow the tracks in.
The style came out ok, but nothin I would really rock in the streets. I left it in for a while then took that shit out when I got home.
I also was tellin her about relaxers. Us black folks (and others i suppose) use relaxers to straighten our hair. I was tryna explain to her that my hair is extremely thick and unruly, and that without a relaxer id look like an animal. I told her that you put something like a chemical mask on your hair, let is sit for a while, then rinse it out. This allows my hair to stay straight for about 3-4 months, depending on how often I go to the salon and take care of my hair. She was so intrigued. I decided to bring her the box I have at home, just to show her what it looked like. Well when I go to the shop, she wanted me to put the relaxer in her hair!
I was inda skeptical cuz #1 her hair was fairly straight from her roots. The hair only curled at the tips, which she didnt like. #2 the relaxer I had was extra strength, which by the name indicates it is really strong. I wasnt sure how her hair would manage under the chemicals #3 her hair has already been colored treated (chemically). Now that is not a problem cuz plenty of people relax their hair even tho they have had their hair dyed. But again, I wasnt sure how her hair would manage under the extra strength chemicals.
Wouldnt you know her hair looked damn good. It was pin straight and she looked like a model or movie star. It looked like it was profressionally done, and honestly, she looked a bit younger in the face. I will say this tho: A LOT of her hair came out. I dont know if she was thinning, shedding or what. But a lot of hair came out when I was washing her hair and I almost thought she was balding or the relaxer was making her hair fall out. I was kinda scared......
But it all worked out and she was happy. She originally wanted to test it out first, to consider if it would be something she was interested in using on her BG customers in the future. She talked about possibly findin a connect to ship a few boxes to her. Im happy. She seems so open to new ideas and the ways in which amer (or me) do hair and how that differs from how BG do hair.
And she is gettin better with braiding and im quite please with my lil grasshopper!
Good day all....
