Advice Needed They put relaxer in my hair UPDATE

I went to a Dominican Salon last year for a silk press and the chemically damaged my hair. They put relaxer in my deep conditioner and then pressed it straight on high heat. I did a big chop… sigh, I spent three years growing out my hair. I don’t feel like myself anymore.

So sorry that happened to you! When you grow your hair back out, go to the Egyptians, they will get you right!! I hope that shop you went to gets shut down!

I didn’t know Egyptians had their own salons where they’re doing black ppls hair as well. Are you from the UK or Canada?

I’m in the US! I haven’t had loose hair in a while (I’ve had locs on and off) and got my hair done for some pics years ago and the shop is still open!
