I’m not a relaxer expert, but to me, adding to relaxer to conditioner sounds like a big reach. I think it’s probably just broken bonds in the hair. My best hair stylist to this day was Dominican and so was my worst. At the end of the day, there are many bad and good hair stylists across the board.

I went to a Dominican Salon, asked for a deep conditioner and smelled a strong scent. Most often they don’t speak clear English and there is a break down in communication. I got my hair braided a couple weeks later. When removing the braids the stylist noticed my hair was dead, it still had chemicals in it 4 weeks later!!! It’s now Been 6 months and my hair follicles must be permanently damaged. This is horrible service.

They fried my hair! PERIOD! I AM PISSED TO NO END!!! Trying to repair my hair now.

Señor you Went hard on this topic! I get it though & I agree with you 100%! When I was younger & I was getting my hair relaxed my mom would take me to the salon on a Saturday morning & literally spend all day there getting our hair done. When I tell you my scalp,ear,neck & hair would not only burned but sore as hell 😳😢 So at a young age I started straightening & relaxing my own hair. I refused to pay someone to treat me & my hair like crap & be completely dissatisfied. & yes I know Dominicans are known for the “silk press” the straighter the hair the better type of hair! But times are changing & because of that our stylist they need to get with the program & re-education themselves on how to take care of our hair vs killing our hair. Thank you for your videos!!!!

I feel some people are getting heat damage too but assume it’s from chemicals because it’s an easy excuse to use..also as far as a stylist of you can’t do everyone hair it’s ok to say I’m sorry I’m not experienced in this department and recommend someone else of you know can do a better job..cause really you can sue for this..I think a lot of stylists do this cause they don’t want to admit they aren’t capable of doing specific hair or styles

Pero I don’t understand why they would do it. It’s not going to get them returning customers. Me parece absurdo. Feels more like sabotage than cost saving or anything else. No me puedes decir que relaxer is cheaper for the stylists than deep conditioner.

Also. Mixing silicon mix and a relaxer...you might not be able to tell the difference. You know some people love to cocktail their conditioners in the back.

I'm dealing with this now. Whatever they put in my hair did not smell like a perm. I've permed my hair for years so I know the smell. When I went to wash I def smelled it. I washed 5 or 6 times and I still smell it. That will be the last time I go to that particular salon.

Looking forward to this!

Thank you for this discourse, I’m about to go back to being a straight natural, I am definitely considering going back to the Dominican salons for my wash and blowout. Silk presses be too costly nowadays .

Oh my god!!!! I smelled it but I was so tired I didn’t realize until I washed my hair and it was really smelling like chemicals - like a relaxer - I have went to the same place so many times. I did not expect that at all. I was 5 years regrowing my hair naturally after I had the same tragic issue with devacurl in 2019 after 6 years natural again so now I am really sad and traumatized! I don’t know what to do because now I have to wait again years before my curls grow back again ! Like WTF ! Every time I washed my hair (5 times) since the blowout my hair are silky but when they dry it’s just a weird feeling. They should give me a lot of money back or free services until they grow back. I am so mad! It’s crazy and criminal! I’m disgusted ! I have been there many times so I don’t know what happened this time. 😢😢😢😢

They messed my beautiful 4c hair up.....they are horrible to do this to ppl.

I live in NYC and went to an excellent Dominican stylist for over 15 years when I had a short cut. While I never relaxed my 3C 4A hair she made sure my wash n set came out straight with bounce everywhere . Now that I wear my hair long and curly I haven’t gone back because it’s not her specialty. All that to say you know what Dominican stylists are known for so you know what it is. When I want my hair straight again I’ll go back to her. Now the relaxer issue that’s just a different level of shadiness.

I've never, in 75 years, relaxed my hair. after one appointment, when I just wanted a different look. 2 days later after I shampooed and conditioned my hair my hair was bone straight. 2 weeks later, after multiple shampoos my curl pattern is gone. a friend noticed a smell in my hair and said it was a relaxer smell.

This literally happened to my niece. I agree, however, that there are some really good Dominican stylists.

I appreciate your honesty and integrity. My hair is soft and curly. I got relaxer in my late 20's against my mom's wishes. The guy put a super tcb in my hair because of the thickness. My hair broke and was dry. I cut off and went back to natural but my texture wasn't the same. I got another relaxer maybe 10 years later and had growth, health and fullness. The stylist stopped doing hair. I finally found a stylist who did natural and relaxed. She stopped put relaxers because she said that I didn't need one. She would put one in ever 18 months and she just stopped. She moved to Florida for NC and I was stuck again. Another lady in the shop would do my hair when she was out and I trusted her. She asked a stylist to mix a burgundy Jazzin semi color. She put bleach in it. My hair dryed like corn husks. The woman was jealous and dislike like me because of colorism. The lady asked what had I done to my hair because the texture changed after. She did want to cut my hair but put french braid in. I do not like braids and they hurt. I took the braid out and cut my mid back length hair 2 inches because I had no edges in the back. The lady that did mixed the bleach ended up getting evicted from her home, loss her car, became homeless, and had to move back to Maryland. You reap what you sow. I'm going to a Hispanic. I've noticed her prices fluctuating, the styling being different from one time to the next and this time, I see breakage, fly away, dryness and freezy. I reached her to ask why and could she redo it. She acted angry. The search begins again. My hair is natural. I don't thick that she puts relaxer in the conditioner but who knows.

I went to one with my mom one day and they did their process and stuff, it was okay for the service, but one thing I would NOT EVER let them do is straighten my hair because PTSD from my mom hot combing my hair. I just don't like hot metals close to my scalp. The result was, again, okay and I haven't been back to a salon like that. I just do my own hair majority of the time and also, I'm broke so there is that too. Lol xD

So I used to go to a Dominican hair salon, and as soon as you walk in the door, you smelt burnt hair they were actually burning the black women’s hair out of their head and we didn’t know it much intense heat that is what the problem is and Dominicanssome Dominicans feel like they have to have intense heat in order to straighten black women’s hair.

Funny you should mention this. I went to a curly hair salon where they offered me a treatment that would partially straighten my hair and I literally ran from that salon. So maybe like you said it was a bad salon experience. There aren't many good salons in my area so it makes sense.she never told me that she was going to put a relaxer in my hair just that it was a conditioner treatment. And the warning signs were there

Well my hair was severly damaged last year after getting a deep condition and a roller set, weather its damage from relaxer or heat damage, either way they damaged my hair! I had to chop all my curly hair off and its still messed up

I moved to DR in February and want to get my hair done...but I'm scared! 😮😂

Hello relaxer scent very clear .so defaming slander is sin

I hope not..

I hope I didn’t frustrate you at what I said in my last comment. If it makes you feel better, it’s not that I don’t trust Dominican products/stylists. I don’t trust stylists at all lol we know that there’s some bad stylists that spoiled the reputation but with the products it’s like if you get bad product there’s nobody to complain to you’re just out of your money 😢

If you like the way they do your hair but are still iffy about the products, I would bring my own products.

They’re not!!!!! This a myth I hate when people say this about Dominicans! I love Dominican stylist!!! Been going since 12 and I’m 33

I asked this Hispanic women to wash and blow dry my hair I explained her I have my own products, she still put it in my hair !! And damaged the shit out my hair

4:38 Really. Speak up for yourself and use your better judgment. Apparently it’s a gen z thing of being too scared to ask people for things that give them more work.

Be real super coarse hair u try fix it good luck

If u don't got tainA blood ur hair not strong..also there no bad rep buddy

dominicaN hair has TainA DNA so there hair strong..anti dominicaN can get lost. I love DominicaN salons

I think it is ignorant and/or unfair to deem Dominican Hair salons as "damaging" or "deceitful" because of a BAD STYLIST. There are bad professionals in every area, specially when lots of them are not even professionals. Educate yourself before going to a salon. Read reviews, check out their qualifications, and yes Ask Questions. I don't go to any salons unless they're Dominican, or Boricua (Dominican Trained). There are so many people out there passing as stylists and know nothing about hair. All I'm saying is before defamating a whole nationality, make sure you are not going to a snake salesperson pretending to be a stylist.

ARE YOU SERIOUS???! Yes the scent is strong but once it's on your hair it's too late! You're victim blaming for sure. If I have to police you in your chair then why am I paying you? I pay to go in, let my guard down a little, enjoy thebpampering of someone else (WHO IS LICENSED) doing my hair, and trust that my hair won't be damaged. Get out of here with that 👀🤦🏾‍♀️

Ur video anti dominicaN please rewatch.
