I ain't messin with none of them. Where I live they have Cape Verdean Salons (The ppl from Cape Verde are a lot like Dominicans, some have straighter hair, some nappier and it seems they have the same techniques) and my cousins occasionally go to their salons. I accompanied my little cousin once to have her hair done. My cousin has long, relaxed 4b hair that needed a touchup but my aunt only wanted her to get a wash and set. We had somewhere to be soon so the stylist started rushing. She started blowdrying her hair with this REALLY hot blowdryer. She first raked a comb thru to detangle and then started using a round brush with the dryer. My poor cousins head was flopping back and forth with that lady pulling on it. (She really took it well, I would have been cussin by that point) I told my aunt and she says "oh that lady, she's actually the most gentle one in there, they could do your hair too"
Whateva, I'm not stepping foot in there. I'll straighten it myself when I need to.
