I felt bad because I initially was SO excited to get into the session. I wanted to ask her about very particular ingredients.
She annoyed the HELL out of me in 5 minutes flat. She put up that 1a to 4c chart, so people started asking her to ID their curl pattern. I mentioned the augmented LOIS method to the ladies near me, because she was just straight NOT giving people answers.
She sells products that she says give Type 4 hair shine. She says we never should have left petroleum. (I'm fine with trying it).
She told a lady with crunchy but beautiful 4a hair that her use of Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 was the problem--because it gave crunch and not moisture. Lady was taken aback! She said, "It's moist under the crunch," scrunched out the crunch, and said "See?" The expert couldn't hear it.
At the end, we were advised to stop looking online for information and help. (of course she said this)
I felt so bad for all the people who were misled to be fearful of gel and other perfectly fine practices and products.
She applied some of her product to a lady's head and told us to see the new shine.
I'll see if I can link her product line once I'm home. I'd feel disrespectful just dropping her name.
good lawd
shine does not equal moisture. Some hair types don't naturally shine. I don't have an issue with people using petroleum if it works for them. It's not the best option for my hair or my daughter's hair. It's too heavy for us so I don't use it. on the other hand my grandmother had hair down her back and all she used was petroleum based grease. Her hair was always soft and moisturized.
my issue with "professionals" and "gurus" is their one size fits all approach. It's like they are not willing to accept that there is more than one option for anything hair related (products and methods).
