Hello All,
I'm new to the forum and I'm really enjoying the vast amount of info. It's funny to see all of this info. because I've been using some of these methods and products for about a year. My hair has grown with my own methods, but it has suffered a few set backs from dryness and breakage. Oh well, I just learn a lesson and move forward. With the help of this forum, I hope to not experience anymore set backs. Anyway, my biggest problem is finding a hairstylist who believes in these techniques and uses the same products. I've been chemical free and interchange between blown out looks and one strand twists. I want someone who is versatile: willing to put in a weave or do protective styles, and be creative. Someone who is able to work with my natural hair--someone who won't want to take a hot comb to it. I know of a few Dominican Stylist but all they want to do is relax my hair and do a blow out. Are there any stylists out there that meet my needs?

I haven't been to a salon in about a year unfortunately so I can't help you there but when I went Strands was on my list. If you make an appointment with Shirley just know you may be there awhile but she's good. I also like Sheldeez in Herndon, VA and Mary's in Silver Spring. The last one is a Dominican salon.
