Well actually rollersetting 4b hair is pretty much a waste unless they happen to have curlformers around (thats the only kind of rollersetting that works on 4b hair) type 4 coarse hair cant achieve a smooth rollerset on traditional magnetic rollers so that much is true. I would go straight to blowdrying....but they really and I stress really need to know what theyre doing. I'm mad they had the nerve to insist they knew what they were doing

I've seen it done too and most of the time it was an epic fail
lol oftentimes the person that attempted it will speak of how futile it was too.
Okay that is a nightmareinsist? they were yelling at me!!! they were saying it was my fault that my hair is bad. I dont come to salon often so its not trained, its dry, its split, etc. That I dont listen, that they dont like people coming there to tell them what to do, that she is a professional, a salon owner, 20yrs experience, she knows what shes doing. Shes worked with many women who have walked into her salon with a bush but am too hard-headed.
I was supposed to get a flat iron after my blow dry. First, they forgot to put heat protectant. I reminded them and they got mad and frustrated and started grumbling and gossiping in spanish. When they finally started straightening my back, the lady pulled a huge chunk of ma hair! I told her to be gentle! The lady just unplugged her flat iron and walked away. I didn't get my hair flat ironed.
I just waited for my mom to finish, and we went home.
They even have the nerve to tell my mom not to use no-lye relaxers anymore. That lye relaxers are the best and not meant for babies

and I have 3b hair which is fairly easy to straighten and very easy to stretch yet they still could not get it right most of the time! I'd leave the white salon with dry fried looking brittle hair and I'd leave the Dominican salon with weighed down, dull hair from too much product or just bad technique And the pain of that blow dryer when its aimed at your scalp used to bring tears to my eyes!!! Years later, I'd NEVER set foot in a salon again after those awful experiences for years, paying them week after week year after year through my teens and on, I have so much regret. I now do my hair myself, just using a Sedu iron in an hour or so and it's silkier than I ever got out of any salon that I paid 30 and up for.. Just had to tell that story because I'm still pissed at myself and just hairdressing in general. It's best to REALLY take the time to know your own hair and try to do it yourself even if it takes years to get it, the skill is priceless...
I'm coming to Jersey. Mine are $35 (10 extra bc I am natural) and my sister's was $45 (bc she is natural and has "long hair" -- APL) although I think it was a texture bias. My hair is longer than hers.

learning to do your own hair is such an empowering money saving skill that will allow your hair to thrive beyond your wildest dreams....well said. I see its not just us kinky haired ladies that get met with consistent incompetence
DIY is the way to go.
Ok so I went to a dominican hair salon for the first time to get my hair blow dried. I use heat on my hair very rarely, maybe once every two years or so.
I get there and the blow drying was SO PAINFUL!!!!!! As she was blowdrying one side, the other side would dry up and when she gets to it, she would just DIG the brush through ALL that shrinkage, OMG!!!! They DID NOT roller set my hair prior because they said the ends wouldn't lay flat.
After the blow dry, my hair did not look like a "Dominican Blowout" after ALL that extreme heat and smoke! It did not bounce, it did not shine, it just looked puffy straight. I was so disappointed, I heard that their blow dry did so much miracles yet it looked how it does when I did it myself!erplexed
These women gave me the impression that my hair wasn't the type that would benefit from a Dominican blowout. They said that my hair is untrained & uneven, making it tangled and dry. I deep condition twice a month, cowach weekly and henna monthly; my hair is not dry. I have NO split ends, so why should i trim my hair?
Does your "Dominican Blowout" turn out like these? Or am I just too picky or grumpy? Compare my avatar pic (I blow dried my hair there myself) to these "Dominican blowout pics". These hairdressers may have damaged my hair!
Please help me, I'm a bit upset
