Same, and I got done in by the Africans at a hair braiding shop too. If you aren't an African American woman you can't touch my hair!

😂 y’all always have to learn the hard way.

Here in South Florida the Jamaicans, Haitians, and Dominicans are beast at natural hair “only if natural hair is their specialty “ otherwise these stylists specialize in borrowed hair.

Same

​@@thevestalvirginspeaks3847Africans are no better they braid too tight and full of it

True… they fried tf outta my hair and it’s 4b type… I had so much heat damage I couldn’t even get my natural hair back curly… it was so stringy… it’s been over 10 years and I’ll never go back to another Dominican shop

And putting relaxer in the shampoo

Honestly, the opposite is true some hair salons are better with type 4 hair and just don't do well with other textures

Yea i have scalp burns from being under the dryer for so long then the heat damage to my curls. You can’t frequent if you want to keep your curls

📝 😅

💯

Exactly

This 😂 we can’t just forget everyone else’s experiences cause she had a good one

If yall know they can’t do certain hair textures then don’t go, it’s that simple. It’s not someone else’s fault if they don’t have a negative experience somewhere

@@nicoleayala4153she’s not saying it’s her fault people have bad experiences at Dominican hair salons, you’re missing the point, she’s simply just highlighting reality ( which is they cannot do everybody’s hair), wether or not people with tighter hair textures choose to go to these salons being aware of the fact, is their personal decision and has nothing to do with what she said.

I had one tell me I need a perm during my touchup appointment. Like...the relaxer could not be more fresh than as of 15 minutes ago.

Oh hell naaaaaawww that’s a nooope for me 😢

@@blessingscomewithpatienceThat’s not smart at all. Putting harsh chemicals into someone’s hair without them knowing? Wtf. That’s disgusting. Just say you don’t have the skill set for that hair type and go.

@@blessingscomewithpatienceABSOLUTELY NOT, don’t call yourself a hair stylist if you can not detangle 4c hair without changing its molecular structure. Nor should anyone ever relax or put cancer causing chemicals on your scalp without consent or permission. ITS WRONG AND THEIR ARE NO EXCUSES.

​@@blessingscomewithpatienceself hate detected

A victim here! 2018. Between Farragut and Foster

Crazy how you allow other people control how you view others. It’s pretty sad to also see so many generalizations in the comments too. I can agree MANY do this. But there are definitely some Dominicans that do an amazing job without damaging your hair. That’s like saying I’m never gonna get box braids by Africans cause they pull too tight which leads to frontal hair loss. My friend is African and she doesn’t pull tight …

@@kathydelarosa1286”some” is simply not enough. 🤷🏾‍♀️

@@kathydelarosa1286 SO I SHOULD CHANCE IT WHEN MANY DO THIS? You sound like drugs. I’ll still do my hair so that I know there will with no problems.

YUP 🗣️ Went once & never again

@@kathydelarosa1286the africans the own a salon (not everyone has friends that are african) did my hair when i was little n i’m tender headed so that was the first time i ever took a tylenol half b4 half after using my head hurts for a week and i simply cant look stright ahead always have my head tilted back but after that shit THREE WEEKS my scalp was so damn tender it hurt to sleep on i had to sleep on my face🧍🏾‍♀️my friend had the africans do her hair and her scalp was split after a week never went again if just abt everyone is having a horrible experience then no duh ppl won’t take the chance some dominicans that do hair put perms in ppl hair when they wash it and style it so yeah ppl have trust issues especially ppl who love their hair

This is so TRUE my cousin from Jersey had a Dominican hair stylist. My cousin is indigenous (Black Indian) and her dad is Scottish descent. And she used to call me upset all the time because she'd chop her hair off when she asked for a little trim (and she would ask in Spanish and English to make sure she understood). She liked her work and her prices but didn't like getting her hair cut off. Just like you said she would chop hair off and make sure it didn't get any longer. So I told her to stop going. I will trim her hair when she came back home.

I grew up in Brooklyn and had the same experience. I found an old school Black American stylist, and my hair grew back until I begged her for a relaxer. After growing it out, I never looked back, and my hair grew just fine. I choose to wear it short now, but it still grows when I let it.

I was doing my hair at 10 years old. Sad but true ❤

Wow. Lo siento. Nothing bad about your hair.

@@memyselfi1828 Thank you! I've been transitioning from straight to curly for the past few years and I'm proud to say my natural curl pattern came back!

Anyone remember that shampoo called permasoft that used to be on the market? Same sh!t … it was quickly removed from the shelves once people figured it out …

​@@SteenyBeanHow that shampoo worked like a perm with no neutralizer?🤔

What? Wow, wow, wow

Really dang 😂😂😂

Wouldn’t that make the hair straight? Perm straight

Thank you for saying that because her hair is not 4C.❤

One time the owner was busy, so a young girl was trying to comb my bush with a rat tail comb 😮 so i gave her my comb out my bag!! Then another girl set the smoke alarm off because she didnt know how much water can hide in my bush 😂 so I had to show her how to towel dry my hair!!! Luckily the owner was available to style and trim my hair!

Even *Black Stylists mess up 4C Hair.* It's not a Dominican thing, they know how to do Hair just fine. It's just that kinky afro textured hair they're not good at doing.

As a woman with 4z hair I have not had a problem until I left the Bronx. Do a roller set I bring my chi heat protection and don't flatiron it but the good ones don't ask to flat iron my hair

no, you're black, Dominicans are just Dominican, go away with that ish

I agree

True. I went to a couple places on occasion in Long Island where I didn’t have a problem. I went to another place where the owner was fine, but the next time I went, the employee ruined my hair and had the nerve to charge me extra even though my hair is not at all difficult to detangle - takes 10 minutes in 4 sections.

Not all Dominicans are black

@@Icespicesafro we're not talkin about skin tone🙄 and I'm not giving a history lesson.. if you know, you know and clearly you don't.

She went to a proper beauty school. A good one will teach how to manage all types of hair textures. I learned that long ago from none other than 2 stylists - 1 Russian and the other Ukrainian.

No frrr😭

First hand experience 😢

😂😂😂😂

Wild

THIIIIIIIIIIS - happened to me (type 3/4)

I was sooo shook when I found this out😮

That's what I heard soo many ppl say

😮😮😮 really?

I was just about to say. Better ask what those ingredients are. I wonder if the content creator knows she’s no longer “natural”?

i came here to say this😂😂😂😂😂😂

That's the exactly what happened to me. I had almost waist length hair and 3 weeks after I they did my hair, I went to wash my hair and it all came out in clumps! I was so fcking pissed off! NEVER AGAIN!

yeah... they put perm in with your conditioner

Yes! I was just about to type this! I’m good lol

I heard they put perm in conditioner too^

​@@Sweet_OniThat's not true. If perm was in her hair under that drier, she would be on fire and left with no hair.

​@@traceytracey3756Not if it's neutralized honey

Egyptians same way.....they secretly putting relaxer in products....my daughter's hair broke off in the back😅😅😅😅. We're staying natural from now on, or protective styles... Or go get a sew in would do you more justice...at least your hair still would be there

Boom happened to me.. thats whats in the "secret" conditioner

​@@shanon1144exactly what I was thinking, this homemade conditioner...smh

As if I didn't have enough anxiety, now I have to sniff everything in the salon to make sure they didn't secretly put relaxer in it 🙃

Yoooo!!! I never heard this… that would explain why my hair was so stringy… I thought it was heat damage… I’ve only used a perm twice in my whole 33 yrs… but this makes so much sense

I do not bring my own products, but I have a great Dominican stylist in MD; but she lived in the Bronx for like 10 years. I'm from Brooklyn and I absolutely appreciate my hair dresser!! Been going to her almost a decade now!

Oh! I also just get my roots blown out after a roller set. I then leave with pin curls.

Smart

ExactlyI live in CT my family lives in New Jersey. I used to drive to Jersey City every other week used to cost 15.00..

Same and I’m from north Jersey also! My lady helped my hair grow

My mom has fine straight hair and they fried that shit in pr.

What's 4C hair ? and how many types of hair are there? I just thought it was straight, curly or wavy hair.

@@tottablue you can look it up. Scale of hair from straight to coiled 1-4 with abc to describe increasing tightness in wave to curl to coil. Very Afro textured coiled hair is 4c straightest possible fine hair 1a. It’s not a perfect representation but it’s a starting point for communicating hair type.

​@@tottabluewhat texture do you think an afro is?

No ma’am, they actually know how to do 4c hair, you just need to find a good one, as far as my knowledge goes, in the US they aren’t many good dominican hairstylist, but since im dominican and i’ve been living here all my life, they are good hairstylist out there.

Damn, 🥴not the Dominicans, the Jamaicans & the Haitians!🙃

That's crazy I went to a Haitian my hair grew but was mad thin it would grow but was thin

😂😂😂😂

@@krystingrant6292My hair is doing that on its own. It didnt grow for the longest time without supplements. Then it started growing on its own but started thinning like crazy. Its still thinning but growing very fast.

​@@niachannelle4047😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣

The heat damage of it all. You couldn’t pay me to go through that

It’s wasn’t the blow dry the use a straightening chemical in there shampoo

I’m hollering 😢😂

Hell yeah , I went once and never went back. Blow dryer hot af

First off a relaxer can't survive on wet hair or with conditioner. People have been saying this for years and It's not true. You all really don't understand how chemicals and the balance of them works. The reason some one's curl pattern has been altered is due to heat damage or just plain damage from neglect.

No, not with the angels! 😂 I'm dead..😂

😂😂

Thats why I always bring my own shampoo/conditioner

do you go to the one in pleasantville, or AC?

Hello me too😊

Where in Jersey I just moved out here but the horror stories and one time experience is what has me second guessing but I need my hair done without paying half my rent for it.

Me too with 3 diff textures 3c, 4a&b

Walk in with 4c hair and see which special conditioner they use to sneak a perm in. antiBlackness abounds

Maybe in the states, but this is not true for the actual island. Plenty of black people with kinky hair there (that are not Haitian).

Dominicans can't do natural hair it's a fact Caribbean people knows this now they're trying to because they have to accept that they're are black 😂

If anything, textured hair is what Dominicans predominantly have…I ain’t never seen a Dominican with “European hair”

Not true at all.

​@@yaneyrydelfin5959exactly

I took my own shampoo and conditioner

I was looking for this comment!!!!! That was hilarious.

Have you ever felt a afro? It's usually very soft! That's weird because DR have plenty of woman with afro textured hair😂🤷🏽‍♀️

@@msyemisi7930 think it may be because although there are plenty of Dominicans who are darker skinned and have Afro-like hair, their genetic makeup is different than that of an actual African/African Americans, or even other Caribbeans. The difference in their genetic variation may make their hair more “manageable” or easy to take care of by Dominican stylists, even if they look similar, there probably is a difference in texture when you touch it and in the curl pattern. It’s kind of like how a half black/half white woman is probably not going to have 4c hair the way a fully black woman may have, she may have something like 3 c hair, which from afar may look similar, but in terms of texture and maintenance is totally different. Hope this made sense :)

@lorijeneteiv5673 Why did you write all of that 🤔🤣 people are to focused on hair. Who cares🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm well educated, and I'm fully aware of what Dominicans are mixed with👌🏽 have a good day. I digress from this thread💜

@@msyemisi7930I don’t think there was any reason to be rude, I wrote it simply as part of the conversation. Didn’t mean to be condescending or say you weren’t “educated”. Regardless, have a blessed day and soften up that heart a little bit! ❤️

@@Bunnyblue08there’s no different mix in them, their hair is just used to being straightened because most Dominicans are anti-kinky hair so they’ve been training their hair since childhood to stay straight.

Listen, you get the best conditioning at Dominican hair salons, and they don’t Charge you a million bucks for Everything! Don’t go if you’re doing better elsewhere.

​@@user-ss7ht2bp3myou must not be from NYC. These losers charge for every damn thing, and are quite expensive.

So you don’t just go to black owned salons?

Coarse*

That’s why they charge $300 for a “curly” cut! To deter people with curlier hair away

FACTS

Same here NEVER!

Exactly

And it still don’t be straight enough! Lol just damaged

Imma say it. Dominicans cant do hair. But are experts are naming their kids bizarre names. Ismary Hairy De Los Santos....Hairy js pronounced Heidi😂

So how do you get 4c hair straight in a healthy way???

Sooooo in other words your saying....DOMINICANS CAN'T DO HAIR!!! SMH!!

That's right.

Gurl it was a relaxer in that “special conditioner” but I’m sure the damaged hair grew out since then

@@PeaceOwtYT she used silicon mix. She told me where to get it and before I locked my hair it was a staple of mine. No damage this way, sorry you went through that love 🫶🏾

Same my hair actually grew longer and was much healthier. Then I went to a Black salon and she butchered my hair. I’m trying to grow it out now.

They gave you a relaxer lol

They treated me like dirt too and I'm Puerto Rican.

Wow...

Translation please!

@@mazal9895 something about bad hair

How you gon say that but not translate what they were saying about your hair in English? 😩

EXACTLY! Like don't invalidate Black women's experiences bc yours was good

@@Bih1stOfAll Dominicans are Black. 😐

@@AbsolutelyNot_927not all of them are . they come in different races and mixes .

The Dominican Republic is predominantly Black though and one of the Blackest Countries in Latin America. Crillos are hard to come by, even in places like Cibao and the "Mestizas" are really "Zambos". Don't try to school a Latina on Latinas. 😂

Ayeeeeeee I’m glad you found your forever stylist 🫶🏼

I’m a black woman with 4C hair, with tight coils. Honestly, the Dominicans are the only ones that seem to understand and can handle my hair. They don’t charge me extra for long hair, sometimes I have to remind them I am black and I’m not supposed to have bone straight hair. Other than that, no problems. There are unscrupulous stylists of every race, and prejudice against 4C hair is prevalent in black hair stylists too. In my lifetime, I’ve had the worst experiences with Jamaican and Black American hairstylists. I just do my own hair now.

Oh I live in Gretna, can she color

I'm from the south. They learn different. They will teach you how to care for your hair in the between time and get upset at you😅 if you come back in looking like a train wreck😅 but they gone do you right no matter what.

Wish I was in kenner..Kenner... It'd be Coushatta Day!! I moved back home to New York though...so I can't have either 😢

The Egyptians take off too much hair also

They're rude people on the low we gave them all about in the English Caribbean very selfish 😒

Oh yeah, you ask them for just a trim and you leave with 4 inches missing

I had my hair straightened (type 4) and she cut it… without asking. I feel like I’m at a huge disadvantage for not knowing Spanish 😭😭

Funny you saying "dominicans" in a degrading way for doing something to you when people from any other country could do the same while also you looking like any average dominican girl from Washington heights 😂. As a matter of fact I've seen darker dominican girls than you light skin colorists.

Or just go to a black stylist. We stay building others up🤦🏽‍♀️

@@NikkiiPopeDominicans can be black lol. The same way you go to certain African branders since not all of them do good either.

They have black hair what r you on about ? Stay generalizing foh

​@@vampsirski4843more than two third of the Dominicans have black in them or are pure. I'm telling you, just like any culture, there are bad hairdressers. Just that white people dont complain if the hairdresser over cuts. I have always told my girl, cut what needs to go. She only cuts what has to go. I'm under armpit length. Lost most my hair post covid in 2020. We cut my hair short to start again.

@@vampsirski4843 They all started off as a black in my mind, they just don’t like to acknowledge it unless it’s beneficial so I don’t see why we would support them. My point was… go to those who support and participate black culture.

Because we don’t have the same hair type as African Americans

​@mhines1994 no excuse. They should know how to do all hair types if they attended cosmetology school. And if they can't then they should say that.

I dont encourage any black sister go to a Dominican stylist unless the goal oa to damage their hair. Now that they are good at and naming their kyods crazy names: Denzel Usnavy Hernandez Suarez (U.S.Navy)😅

@@mhines1994 there’s plenty of afro latinos with kinky hair. but it’s probably always permed so you wouldn’t know

They gave the same ass hair

I'm from Bronx i would take thr train to Harlem Dominican Salon and my hair was super long beautiful and healthy.

​@@bellaapple2166same. My hair is soft and bouncy when i leave, not fried

​@@bmama125Hi, can you tell me where you go. I need a salon.tx

I from NY too. I only go twice a year to get my hair straightened. Never had a problem. I love goin in the BX

They aren’t my natural curls lol I got these using flexi rods but thank you!!!

I have course type 4 hair and never had that issue. I guess it depends on the stylist.

Yes my hair is finally coming back and yes they use to much heat. And even though I took my own shampoo and conditioner they might’ve still put something else in my hair 😮

I used to go to them when i lived in atlanta just for the famed blow out every once in awhile. But had to stop for the same reason. Its was bone straight but didnt last long at all....one drop of water its gone...😅

Great so your both black Dominican is a nationality not a race

Stop lying they press your shit and you wanna say is perm in the products

I can believe it

not all. the ones with licenses in cosmetology know better

Girl read thru some of these comments 😅 ppl be saying it but I had to hold it down for my stylist 💜

And secretly use relaxers on you as it's in the conditioner

This video is 3 months old now. My curls are still intact. 🥰

​@@marspaulieyou don't have type 4 hair so of course you got different treatment...

@@oneidysilvestre2352 Yes, went from 5 till about 23. After 15 I went natural and I would go with my hair washed and detangled because they would comb my wet 3c hair from the root 😭😭 and I would only get rollers because they would burn me and my hair with the blower 🤦🏽‍♀️

They had my hair growing long, bouncing and swinging, even with a relaxer. They were the reason I was inspired to go natural, which ironically is why I stopped going. I didn’t need touch ups nearly as often, and used less heat and manipulation as with others. My hair flourished with no chemicals, and using their techniques. They were running the hair salon game in NY for a good while. On the rare occasion I need a blow out, no one does it better than Milagros, my old stylist.

@@Msboochie2 I bet! I don't know her but I wish I could have packed them in my suitcase back to Texas! I miss good ole new york

​@@aaladeesame. They would always have my hair looking better than a perm. The one I used to go to closed down years ago and I have never found another like that one.

@@naturalista123 I feel that, I ain't perm my hair in 7 years but if I found them.... say less

NYC Dominican salons are on point. Its really hard to come across a bad Dominican salon. AND NO SECRET ISH, hair straight until washed or wet
