Is this heat damage?

[Nappy_in_the_City]

I recently went to a salon to get my hair straightening... after a week I washed it and I'm noticing that there are still straight parts to my hair. There is no shrinkage or curling up as usual. Is this heat damage or should I do a few more washes... should I notify salon... Help!

Do a protein treatment but it does sound like heat damage.

Yes, it does sound like heat damage....had it before and what you describe it sounds exactly the same. Hopefully it's not that much hair......sorry.

Should I notify the salon I went to... they claimed they could treat natural hair without damaging it. If this is heat damage I am going to go off!

It's huge sections of hair, I'm hoping if I wash it again... it'll... come back.
Why me...

It does sound like heat damage, but do you have pics to be sure? And yes, if the salon does advertise the ability to style natural hair without damaging, you need to let them know right away what they did to you. How long ago was your salon visit?

I'm not to good about taking photos... but I will

My salon visit was the 4th, I washed on the 12th.

doesn't it sometimes take more than a few washes and conditioning before the straight pieces curl back up?
