Hey Ladies!
Well, after being real intrigued about all of the raves that I've read about in regards to Dominican Blowouts on this board, today I finallly decided to try one out. Actually, my best friend had one done over the weekend and her hair came out lovely, so I said "The heck with it" and got mine done today.
The place I went to is a little spot in Miami. I actually forgot the name of it, but I will get it from her and edit this post later. I dropped my sister off to the university and proceeded to go to the salon. At this point, it was around 9:00 and when I drove by and saw that they were open, I was elated.
When i walked in, there were no patrons, so I told them that i wanted a wash, set and a blowout but only the roots. She was like "No problem, mami"
Well, I'll put it to you like this: It was 10:15 when I walked out of that joint and my hair was just a swingin and a bouncin'. My hair has never had this much body in my life! I didn't see what she used, but all she did was shampoo my hair, she then said "mami, you want treatment" I said yes. So I applies the treatment and I sit under the dryer with a plastic cap for 20 min. she then applies some substance to my hair and rolleret it in what seems like 5 min.
I then go under this crazy looking dryer for like 35 min and when she comes over and shuts it off, I'm like, my hair can't be dry yet. But it was!
As she's taking my rollers out, she's like, "Mami, u need perm" and I was like I know, but I explained to her how although my hair had been relaxed around a month ago, it didn't take and came out really underprocessed so all in all, my roots appear to look as though they have 5 months of newgrowth. Out of curiosity, I asked her if they did relaxers and she was like yea. Then I asked her which ones they used and she said, Affirm, Mizani, and one whose name i was not familiar with.
Well, I was preparing myself for the worst with the blow out (all the horror stories I've read about the unbearable heat!) but surprisingly, it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. i don't know, maybe I have a high threshold of pain.
The best part was when she was done and I asked her how much, she replied "Veinte". $20 for a hairdo that made me feel like a million bucks! You can't beat that with a bat!

Looks great, you and your hair are gorgeous. It stinks that none of my dominican relatives can't freaking blowdry nice to save their life 
Can I get a dominican salon in h-town though? Dang...
. Oh well.
. I am happy that your hair is back on track.
