As a Dominican I understand that sometimes we use too much heat, but that's not true for all of us. You just gotta find the right Dominicans that support natural hair.

Girllll Dominicans know how to make your hair sleek asf. I didn't see they cut a lot of hair like others are commenting I believe it was perfect

NO BUNDLES NEEDED!!!! LOVE TO SEE SISTAHS WITH NATURAL HAIR AND LENGTH

She cut the straggley ends, from what I saw she didn't cut too much off in my opinion.

I like the way she trimmed you, she didn't get all stupid like she just bought scissors and wanted to see how they work or something.

People love talking about how much heat is used in Dominican salons but every video I've seen on African American salons is the same. In fact sometimes they use more heat because round brushes aren't utilized. Instead paddle brushes or blowdryers with a comb attached are, which results in more porous hair. In turn hot combs, hair straighteners, and curling irons are used to achieve 1 style. Regardless of where you go though heat=damage.

Dominicans know how to work a blow dryer and your hair looks really good 😀

People really scared to be scalped, lol! She removed the ends where they were see though and you could see her shirt. The trim was fine! Heathy hair >keeping damaged ends!

Great job and your hair is gorgeous!!! She did a good trim and that wasn't a lot of heat. Healthy hair can take heat and if you have thick hair, a few passes won't hurt the integrity of your hair.

hell yea they use alot of heat damn

Dominicans are all about that straight sleek look. Many are scissor happy i'm from the Bronx so all I go to is Dominican salons and I have straight hair and they burn mine to a crisp.

I knew it was philly soon as I saw that tired ass sign 😂😂😂 we gotta do better. Ima go there lol but still.

The reason yall go to the Dominicans is to get silky straighten hair. And the only way to do that is to get a chemical or use heat. So I don't understand why yall always complain about the heat like you don't know how blacks girls have to straighten their hair.

I love the Dominican Salons! I've never went to a place I didn't like. Every time I go my hair will stay straight for 2 weeks.

6:40 she hating in the back 😂😂😂😩🙋🏽 hey boo

the Dominicans used too much heat on my hair and I never went back. just not for me.

am i the only one that flinched every time the straighteners clamped her hair. mama is likes a strong grip

I wish people realize your own people can do the same thing. No big deal to go to Dominican shop they have black hair like us

sooo...much...HEAT!!😖😖😖😖😧😧

I had two Dominican stylist when I lived in Florida. They were very good. I didn't have your experience about too much heat, my hair is a 3c texture. They actually like to use the roller set, but if you want a faster method, then they use the silk and press. I would never say all the stylist are the same, because they are not. For example one of the Dominican that I used to go when I lived in Florida was very informative and helpful giving me advice to how I should take care of my hair at home. I once went to an American stylist and she burned my hair. I won't go to that stylist anymore but I wouldn't condemned all the American stylist as the same as that one. I live in Europe now, in Uk. And is hard to find a good stylist who understands natural hair. If you live in London you probably find some, but if you live in a town or not big city you probably won't find stylist who really understand your hair. I take care of my hair. Thanks for the advice of my Dominican stylist in Florida, I can handle my hair.

Not The Grandmother Bump 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 Its Nice Though 😌👌🏾

Why is everyone talking about the heat used. Her hair type requires a lot of heat they not bout to let u walk out they salon looking dumb.

What's going on with your edges tho?

i would never let them touch my head

I’ve learned from my local Dominican salon that their hair is just as thick as our hair and a lot of times they get relaxers. She told me that her hair is thicker than mine. Also from going to school for cosmetology I’ve learned it’s not a lot of heat at all it’s really steam which is sometimes good for your scalp

I used to live in Philly. The Dominican salons used to lay some hair out. She did a good job..

Your hair looks so healthy and full!

They should've given u a roller set to stretch out ur hair first THEN straighten it. U gotta be careful they like to slip in perm with they deep conditioner they don't like to deal with natural hair but it turned out really pretty. 👍🏾👌🏾

Great song love ❤️ African Music 🎶 wow 😮 they did a great job , her hair looks beautiful ❤️

Yesss Destiny!!! I peep that song tho!!! Your hair is gorgeous!!😍😍

Wow you have beautiful thick long hair 😩😩😍😍💕 I can’t wait to get to this stage I did so much damage/bullshit to my hair can’t wait to grow it back ‼️

The lady was detangling her hair mad rough! Geesh 😣 It turned out pretty

I've been going to the same lady for years since I was a child. However, I got heat damage because I went every two weeks. So I stopped and cut the heat damage off. Now I only for special occasions and I explained to her how to treat my hair properly. Ever since my hair has grown so much.

She did a wonderful job! Yes, the Dominicans use a lot of heat but the leave-in heat protectant can handle it. Beautifully done!!!

my childhood was me going to the dominicans every two weeks for a wash and set in Harlem. lol it's a NYC girls tradition.

Looks amazing!!!

i wouldnt advise anyone to go to the dominicans. Went for the first time when i went natural and when it came to wash my hair, it didnt revert back abd my 3c/4a curls were lifeless and limpy😭 and my hair smelled like strong chemicals mix with heat😷 i cried and cried but had to just transition and big chop again. Now my hair is arm pit length and still healthy. I go to this natural hairstylest and she does a good job on my hair, Silky and flowey and looks like domincan work but without the damage👌🏽🙌🏽😍

Now you guys know she didn't cut off that much now.... stop 🙄... looks great girl ❤️❤️❤️

She did great especially compared to other videos. It was barely any steam in this video and your hair looked healthy.

Every time she passed the flat iron on her hair I cringed I had to skip to the end

Homegirl in the back was staring you down sis during your hairflip lol but that's beside the point lol.... your hair is so pretty ☺

It turned out cute!

That’s an amazing trim

Look where it started...... Dang!!!

Please do a video on how you're hair is after you wash it and if you got heat damage

The hair flipping was soo satisfying! Haha

that was a lot of passes with that flat iron! wow!

Looks amazing. In my opinion its too much heat,trim was amazing she took what was needed.

..not all the time Dominicans will damage your hair. she should have got rollers she has thick hair. Then just got it blown out and if you wrapped it put on a scarf it would looked like you straightened it. lol I go to the Dominicans in the hood. They will damage ya hair if you go too often. That is a lot of heat I used to go like every 2 weeks my hair did grow but I saw it was thinning so I stopped going lol now I'm natural team no heat. Your hair is really bomb girl but don't go to them too often. Especially if your natural with no perm.

I was just watching this video suggested while I waited to download something to my tablet and BOY did this bring back memories! Lol OUCH! All those passes with the flat iron my goodness!! Sizzle sizzle sizzle geez 😧😣 She did do the trim proper so that's always righteous to see! As for them marrying products without your knowledge to make it (easier on them) to style (i.e.-relaxers in shampoo or "deep conditioners", bring your own products from start to finish in a bag). No Dominicans I know are that upscale they'll turn away business just because you don't use their products. It beats getting your hair washed with what feels like dishwasher liquid. Now I've had some pretty good experiences myself but I've also had some not so good back in the day due to a fat chick scraping off my already sore scalp after being chemically processed. But since going natural, I ask even more questions and trust them even less to make it "do what it do" because in their mindset that means *straighten to death*. You just have to speak up regardless. Don't buy that they don't understand English mess because it's bullshit. Confront them politely before you get in the chair and give them directives and you should have nothing to fear ladies! 💖

I would definitely go to this shop she did a great job

It came out really pretty 😍❤️

I once went to a dominican salon when i was about 9 and they straightened my hair. I had LOTS of hair and at the time it was pretty kinky. It was 3/4 the way down my back put two people were doing it at once ripping my hair in different directions. I had a patch of missing hair, and on top of that they cut off wayyyy more than needed . My mom was furious and it ended a 4 inches past shoulder length. Luckily hair grows back fast but if i was somebody whose hair grows really slowly idk wat i would do.

Your hair looks good.

I think she did a great job 👏 ❤

Omg i go there i just went today to get my hair curled for school!

My favorite part of the whole video was when it went in slow motion ❤️

I agree.... too much heat, and if she would have used the chase method with the comb, she would have only needed one pass with the flat iron.

As a Dominican with 3c hair I feel like regardless of where you go, if you wanna get your hair straightened with heat then be prepared for the consequences🤷🏾‍♀️ has nothing to do with race or technique. Whenever you make your hair do something it doesn’t naturally do there could be consequences. Don’t want heat or “too much heat” then do your hair your damn self, you know your hair and what you want better than anyone and what it can handle 😂

I see that shine!

i definetly love your hair and u my African mama muahhhh 😘😘😘🥰

Wow looks beautiful

Did your hair revert back to its naturally kinky-coily-curly hair? Any heat damage?

I lovvveeee the Dominicans they silk press my hair so beautiful, most people can straighten but not silk press.

That cut was satisfying lol

i think it looks bomb!😍😍😍😍

How is your hair now. Did it revert back and is it healthy?

The music had me dancin so much I didnt watch the video! LOL!

Um just because she used a lot of heat doesn't mean all Dominican hair dressers. Be very aware that a real good Dominican dresser will never need to use the flat iron, if they give it a good blow dry. A good Dominican blowout will never need a flatiron, remember that.

Did your hair revert?!?

I'm from Philly too, gang gang 🤘🏾💯 lol But I stopped going to the Dominicans because I felt like they were going to give me heat damage and I have natural hair so I didn't wanna go through that. They know how to straighten and curl some damn hair though. I also stopped going to African braiding shops because of one bad experience, they also just braid really tight imo, and they be gripping up my edges and I don't need no damn bald spots, bad enough my hair is already short (it goes a little bit past my shoulder when straightened). Your hair came out really cute though.

I just keep coming here for the song 😍

I liked how she cut it, some ppl just get to happy when u ask for a trim...I would go back but leave after the blow dry😏

I remember I went to the Dominicans , my hair smelled fried for a week. Shampooed and it still smelt burnt . Bc after that. I’ll never go back. But a lot of people’s hair can take it. I’m just not one of them. Your hair came out pretty tho.

I loved the salon I used to go to but they closed 😭now I do it my self

Nice video. TFS ... I'd like to know if your hair reverted back to it's natural texture.

I did this twice a month to heat train my hair the products they use have heat protectant in it but it depends on the person my hair didn’t get heat damaged

“Dominicans put a lot of heat on the hair “ ik we do cause we dont want your hair to get frizzy and doesnt last and ya can’t say it doesnt look sleek.. regardless they put heat protectant.. if ya don’t want ya hair straight af then straighten your own hair

From England love it

dam they dis a good job man for real

you did a good job on her hair

Ladies let’s stop complaining about them destroying our hair when we have weaves and wigs in all the time anyways then we get mad when people ask us if our hair is real or not. #SorryNotSorry if you’re offended it’s because it’s true PERIODDDDDDDDDDD

It looks nice ❤

Did your hair revert back without heat damage?

I got a Dominican blowout once about 18 yrs ago . Damn near fried my scalp! The smoke coming off my hair was ridiculous and when it was done it was so silky and fine... It felt TOO light. I felt like I had no hair on my head!Never again i said. I like straight hair sometimes but I like volume too. I think they used to much heat on her hair. But I also know everyone's hair is different & cam endure the heat without long term damage. Between the blow dryer and then the flat iron? I Hope it fully snaps back. I've learned that it's better for your hair to roller set it, Dry it then pass a flat iron thru it or a blow dryer with tension . Fir me the goal is to minimize the direct heat! I've read blow drying actually boils the water molecules in your strands as they evaporate. It's a stressor on your strands . Some ppls hair can't take it. I know my curls didn't all snap back from too much flat ironing . I had to trim the straight pieces that refused to coil, they only "waved up" after many months so I knew they were ruined.

No telling what temperature that flat iron was on! 😩

Everyone's hair is different. Don't be a hater because you can't use heat on your hair or it'll lose its curl pattern. I straightened one piece in the back of my head after not using heat for over 2 years and it's still straight lol. Thats what wigs are for.

Your hair looks very good girl and its looks good on you tho

The music got me Hyped🎉🎉🎉

That heat though..

I only go to the Dominicans once a couple of years because I don’t like a lot of heat but they do straighten natural hair the best!!

Pretty thick hair

Dominicans are the best when it comes down to silk presses!!

What kinda heat protectant was that?

I used to go there 😩

They trimmed your hair perfectly fine you still got inches 😛💁🏽

That was too many passes for me but still came out beautifully lol

They make my hair too straight for me, I had to get my hair cut though recently, can’t wait to see how it looks when I silk press it

Her parts were too big, her hair is thick, so the thicker the hair the thinner the sections, as a licensed cosmetologist in California I would have too a more different approach to her thick hair. Looks like it was just blow dried tbh.

Beautiful hair! They need to use better shampoo n conditioner. Massage your edges with oils every night and stay away from ponytails. It will grow back.
