Why did I do it y'all
??? I think it's an Einstein quote that defines insanity as doing the same thing and expecting a different result. That's totally how I've felt all weekend. Every time I have one positive salon experience I entrust my hair to these quacks again and am always disappointed. I just feel so very deflated and down ever since I left the 'shop' Friday evening. And though I feel ashamed for some reason I had to share w/you all.
I went for a re-touch after 20 weeks and to have my texturizer corrected a bit b/c the front of my hair needed more processing so that I could wash n' wear. I explained this to the stylist who instead heard, "I hate the texture of my natural hair! Straighten this mess out totally!" I won't even get into all the ugly details, of how she ripped (literally) my hair apart to section it to apply the relaxer (it was in a twist-out) nor how she detangled after rinsing from root to tip. Nor how she used the wrong strength relaxer and worked the ish out of it. Nor how she insult my texturized hair by saying she thought I wanted to be able to comb it
. I'll just fast forward to the 4 new textures of hair I have and how any day I'll have a 5th
(aka- new growth). I really want to cry, but I feel like it's my fault, so I'm just very disappointed in myself.
The front right side of my hair is totally straight, I mean zero curl, not even a wave. The front left is straight w/a slight wave when wet but will curl (not on the ends). The back right is texturized and acceptable. The back left looks like zero relaxer ever hit it, so it's acceptable in term of being texturized, but looks crazy next to the other texutures. I think I'm going to order the PhytoRelaxer and try to fix the back at home so it all at least matches. I'm going to wait 4 weeks until I expose it to more processing. And then over time just going to have to cut this mess out. I never wanted my hair to be totally straightened and I know it's going to be a real struggle managing this bone straight quadrant as I grow out
.
I'm trying to stay positive, but it's so hard. This I know, I will no longer continue the insanity of even visiting a salon infrequently. I'm not even going to the Dominican's. This is it. All trimming, chemical processing, etc. that needs to be done will be done in house. My little heart just can't take another break
. I was able to wash n' wear, but had to put the back up to hide the differing textures. I was able to cover the straight part, by pinning, so it wasn't so obvious. I was also able to rollerset w/o heat, but my roots are wavy in the back on the non-treated side. It was my first attempt, so I'll keep working on it. I figure I can air dry and try a bantu knot set finally and twist-out w/less twists, etc. I just miss my old hair, it was so fully and lush and now I've got saggy spurs in the front. It looks so anemic to me now
, but I remember reading here awhile ago that if you choose to texturize, that at some point you should expect straight hair.... Well here I am
