[@danielleking8520]

EXACTLY! We need PROFESSIONALS to teach us how to do our hair NOT influencers lol. I've noticed that this is why I was so confused. They were telling me about products that work for THEIR specific hair type. I need to know MINE! I didnt understand the basics. I needed to learn the basics. A PROFESSIONAL will tell you that. Lol sad how long it took me to get it but I'm a millennial so cut me some slack lol

[@jk9084]

To be honest, I don't agree. I learned way more from influencers about taking care of my natural hair - especially the ones who look at it from a scientific/ayurvedic/100% pure standpoint - than from black hair stylists as their remedy has always been to press, keratin treat or relax my natural hair without giving zero advise on regimen. I have brought my hair back to health from breakage and heat damage twice with the help of influencers. It was wayyyy after the YT natural hair movement started that natural hair salons came about where they actually know what they are doing and they still omit ayurveda.

[@ashleym6765]

You too!? Same here lol

That part

[@sheamoniquedaniel1824]

you said a mouthful there honiiiiiie. i say i am from kitchenstylelist to future license cosmetologist. Since i started school i had to throw out so much of what i used to know. 2nd cosmetologist has access to quality products that average people don't. for long term better protection for the hair. And yes there are some cosmetologist that care more about money than the health of the hair. i am so glad that i invested in something i love. and is gaining so much knowledge. as a former kitchenbeautician i have to admit i did so many things wrong.

[@carolyncannon8591]

@@wickedgaming91 I’ve used both ceramic and titanium and I’ve heard that titanium heats up evenly which requires less passes through the hair. I’’m currently using a titanium flat iron and very pleased with the results but I do use it on the lowest setting and only pass through my hair one time. I definitely think if you don’t know what you’re doing and don’t understand proper heat settings, you can for sure easily burn your hair whether you’re using ceramic or titanium.

[@stephanieclark7019]

You hit the bullseye about stylists not sharing information and educating his/her clients about how to care for their hair. So thank you for putting it out there for the ones who are not doing their part. As usual, awesome job all the way around. 👏🏾👏🏾

[@MarliQQLuv]

This. I just started going to a stylist late last year after not having a regular stylist, basically my entire life. And I love that she goes through my hair and talks about what she sees and talks to me about my regimen. I just went to see her two days ago and I ended up just pulling the trigger and having her cut off what I knew was just damage that just wasn't going to be fixed.

[@Sisima13]

[@avirgingardenista2892]

Hahaha! I own that same shower curtain! Amazon prime!

[@joieluck]

I have thick 4c hair and your technique is SPOT ON. I know my hair and have had stylists who clearly didn’t know what to do with 4c hair. Can’t tell you how many times I wanted to turn around and say, “what the HELL are you doing”? You cannot use the same tools, products, and techniques for all hair types. Great job!!!

[@abawitx]

The issue is "professional" stylists who take your money are NOT educated nor are willing to be taught to grow their technique and care, they do not care about protecting the guests hair. They are also fairly unprofessional in their salon practices and very impatient with tools used on a guests hair, causing damage yet claiming it is the guests fault for the damage. Their goal is to book as many clients as they can per day. Many have colorism issues (yeah i said it) and will treat your service roughly if you look a certain way (dark skin) or have coilier hair than others. These are sad realities so where are we to go if the majority of stylists don't have the education you do? I refuse to go to salons and have learned everything from KZbinrs (those who do understand the science, chemistry and make up of the hair shaft) and my type 4c/b/z hair has thrived because of what i have learned online. I have only had poor experiences in salons and lost hair and money due to it,. So many "influencers" also have the bad salon experience that forces them to learn how to do hair on their own. We are in 2021 and we still don't have professional stylists who truly know how to do black guest's hair. i know of maybe 3 nationwide? including you, who i would possibly go to, none of which are in my city. This is the problem.

[@KittyGothXO]

Absolutely.

[@artisticagi]

It’s huge!!! This guy cares about holistic hair health, from nutrition to hair structure. He’s not just a hair stylist, who is only interested in creating a style and doesn’t even care most of the time preserving the hair to get that style. It’s so bad out there for us

[@cfoster6804]

I agree 100%. I stopped going for years and decided to give stylists a chance again recently. First one was super nice but my front section suddenly thinned out after going to her 2 times. The second one didn't bother talking to me beyond the initial greeting and the have a nice day after she got her money.😑 Asking her questions was like pulling teeth, she scratches the scalp with her nails while shampooing, and burned me several times with blow dryer and flat iron. The trim and final results were bomb though! Still wouldn't go back. I found one more stylist I'm gonna try but if she messes up I'm out. That's why I'm here watching silk press videos...just in case.

[@Thehairqueen]

I am a professional stylist of 20 years and I know all the information that you are giving and yet I still absolutely love looking at your videos! You are the bomb! You are so well versed and so professional! And you explain the science behind the hair and what you are doing and that is key! You are giving me the motivation to start doing my videos! Sending blessings your way! Keep going! 🙏🏾❤️

[@brittany6793]

That part about finding a reputable hairstylist/ cosmetologist is true. I went to a salon for a silk press and the cosmetologist was mainly involved in silking my hair. At one point, the cosmetologist had to stop doing someone else's hair to prescribe which treatment to use, and that's only because I asked for a different one. The assistant did the washing, conditioning AND blow-drying, WITH THE COMB ATTACHMENT, so my hair was poofy from jump. The silk press came out great, but didn't last very long. To be fair, I didn't wrap my hair the 4th night and the night after that, I put in some flexi rods, which ended up being a complete fail. Now, I have a few looser curls in different parts of my head, thank God they aren't that noticeable. Thing is, this was my first time getting it done. During the silk press, she said that my hair would be more manageable, but I didn't want my hair to be more "manageable"! The fuck! No shade to her salon and staff, but I'll definitely look for a different cosmetologist next time I get the service done.
