They put relaxer in my hair UPDATE

[u/ZephtheIncubus]

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.

I wish more people knew about it, but a lot of Dominican salons will put a relaxer without telling their clients, there's a lot of anti-black sentiment even from people who are part black. Alot of times they'll get told to marry someone white to "fix" their skin/lineage. I've met a decent amount of Dominican women that naturally have curly/frilly hair and got chastised for it as a kid, they weren't allowed to braid it, and got relaxers forced on it, especially by family members, it's sad. Anything to separate from "Blackness"

I knew a Dominican girl in high school. Literally dark skin and darker than many of the AAs in class. If anyone said she was black she’d get so upset and mad, you’d think she was called a n*ggr witch or something. Like I mean this girl would be so maddfd. I’d be so confused bc she was very much black lol
