Straigtening My Natural Hair (Dominican salon) 

As a Dominican I understand that sometimes we use too much heat, but that's not true for all of us. You just gotta find the right Dominicans that support natural hair.

Girllll Dominicans know how to make your hair sleek asf. I didn't see they cut a lot of hair like others are commenting I believe it was perfect

NO BUNDLES NEEDED!!!! LOVE TO SEE SISTAHS WITH NATURAL HAIR AND LENGTH

She cut the straggley ends, from what I saw she didn't cut too much off in my opinion.

I like the way she trimmed you, she didn't get all stupid like she just bought scissors and wanted to see how they work or something.

Dominicans know how to work a blow dryer and your hair looks really good 😀

People love talking about how much heat is used in Dominican salons but every video I've seen on African American salons is the same. In fact sometimes they use more heat because round brushes aren't utilized. Instead paddle brushes or blowdryers with a comb attached are, which results in more porous hair. In turn hot combs, hair straighteners, and curling irons are used to achieve 1 style. Regardless of where you go though heat=damage.

The reason yall go to the Dominicans is to get silky straighten hair. And the only way to do that is to get a chemical or use heat. So I don't understand why yall always complain about the heat like you don't know how blacks girls have to straighten their hair.

hell yea they use alot of heat damn

People really scared to be scalped, lol! She removed the ends where they were see though and you could see her shirt. The trim was fine! Heathy hair >keeping damaged ends!

6:40 she hating in the back 😂😂😂😩🙋🏽 hey boo

I knew it was philly soon as I saw that tired ass sign 😂😂😂 we gotta do better. Ima go there lol but still.

Dominicans are all about that straight sleek look. Many are scissor happy i'm from the Bronx so all I go to is Dominican salons and I have straight hair and they burn mine to a crisp.

I wish people realize your own people can do the same thing. No big deal to go to Dominican shop they have black hair like us

Great job and your hair is gorgeous!!! She did a good trim and that wasn't a lot of heat. Healthy hair can take heat and if you have thick hair, a few passes won't hurt the integrity of your hair.

the Dominicans used too much heat on my hair and I never went back. just not for me.

sooo...much...HEAT!!😖😖😖😖😧😧

Why is everyone talking about the heat used. Her hair type requires a lot of heat they not bout to let u walk out they salon looking dumb.

i would never let them touch my head

I love the Dominican Salons! I've never went to a place I didn't like. Every time I go my hair will stay straight for 2 weeks.

am i the only one that flinched every time the straighteners clamped her hair. mama is likes a strong grip

Not The Grandmother Bump 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 Its Nice Though 😌👌🏾

As a Dominican with 3c hair I feel like regardless of where you go, if you wanna get your hair straightened with heat then be prepared for the consequences🤷🏾‍♀️ has nothing to do with race or technique. Whenever you make your hair do something it doesn’t naturally do there could be consequences. Don’t want heat or “too much heat” then do your hair your damn self, you know your hair and what you want better than anyone and what it can handle 😂

I’ve learned from my local Dominican salon that their hair is just as thick as our hair and a lot of times they get relaxers. She told me that her hair is thicker than mine. Also from going to school for cosmetology I’ve learned it’s not a lot of heat at all it’s really steam which is sometimes good for your scalp

What's going on with your edges tho?

I had two Dominican stylist when I lived in Florida. They were very good. I didn't have your experience about too much heat, my hair is a 3c texture. They actually like to use the roller set, but if you want a faster method, then they use the silk and press. I would never say all the stylist are the same, because they are not. For example one of the Dominican that I used to go when I lived in Florida was very informative and helpful giving me advice to how I should take care of my hair at home. I once went to an American stylist and she burned my hair. I won't go to that stylist anymore but I wouldn't condemned all the American stylist as the same as that one. I live in Europe now, in Uk. And is hard to find a good stylist who understands natural hair. If you live in London you probably find some, but if you live in a town or not big city you probably won't find stylist who really understand your hair. I take care of my hair. Thanks for the advice of my Dominican stylist in Florida, I can handle my hair.

Everyone's hair is different. Don't be a hater because you can't use heat on your hair or it'll lose its curl pattern. I straightened one piece in the back of my head after not using heat for over 2 years and it's still straight lol. Thats what wigs are for.

The lady was detangling her hair mad rough! Geesh 😣 It turned out pretty

Yesss Destiny!!! I peep that song tho!!! Your hair is gorgeous!!😍😍

I used to live in Philly. The Dominican salons used to lay some hair out. She did a good job..

i wouldnt advise anyone to go to the dominicans. Went for the first time when i went natural and when it came to wash my hair, it didnt revert back abd my 3c/4a curls were lifeless and limpy😭 and my hair smelled like strong chemicals mix with heat😷 i cried and cried but had to just transition and big chop again. Now my hair is arm pit length and still healthy. I go to this natural hairstylest and she does a good job on my hair, Silky and flowey and looks like domincan work but without the damage👌🏽🙌🏽😍

my childhood was me going to the dominicans every two weeks for a wash and set in Harlem. lol it's a NYC girls tradition.

Great song love ❤️ African Music 🎶 wow 😮 they did a great job , her hair looks beautiful ❤️

They should've given u a roller set to stretch out ur hair first THEN straighten it. U gotta be careful they like to slip in perm with they deep conditioner they don't like to deal with natural hair but it turned out really pretty. 👍🏾👌🏾

She did a wonderful job! Yes, the Dominicans use a lot of heat but the leave-in heat protectant can handle it. Beautifully done!!!

Now you guys know she didn't cut off that much now.... stop 🙄... looks great girl ❤️❤️❤️

Every time she passed the flat iron on her hair I cringed I had to skip to the end

Your hair looks so healthy and full!

I think she did a great job 👏 ❤

Looks amazing!!!

..not all the time Dominicans will damage your hair. she should have got rollers she has thick hair. Then just got it blown out and if you wrapped it put on a scarf it would looked like you straightened it. lol I go to the Dominicans in the hood. They will damage ya hair if you go too often. That is a lot of heat I used to go like every 2 weeks my hair did grow but I saw it was thinning so I stopped going lol now I'm natural team no heat. Your hair is really bomb girl but don't go to them too often. Especially if your natural with no perm.

“Dominicans put a lot of heat on the hair “ ik we do cause we dont want your hair to get frizzy and doesnt last and ya can’t say it doesnt look sleek.. regardless they put heat protectant.. if ya don’t want ya hair straight af then straighten your own hair

Ladies let’s stop complaining about them destroying our hair when we have weaves and wigs in all the time anyways then we get mad when people ask us if our hair is real or not. #SorryNotSorry if you’re offended it’s because it’s true PERIODDDDDDDDDDD

Look where it started...... Dang!!!

I lovvveeee the Dominicans they silk press my hair so beautiful, most people can straighten but not silk press.

My favorite part of the whole video was when it went in slow motion ❤️

Um just because she used a lot of heat doesn't mean all Dominican hair dressers. Be very aware that a real good Dominican dresser will never need to use the flat iron, if they give it a good blow dry. A good Dominican blowout will never need a flatiron, remember that.

I've been going to the same lady for years since I was a child. However, I got heat damage because I went every two weeks. So I stopped and cut the heat damage off. Now I only for special occasions and I explained to her how to treat my hair properly. Ever since my hair has grown so much.

I agree.... too much heat, and if she would have used the chase method with the comb, she would have only needed one pass with the flat iron.

okay I see you 👏

Wow you have beautiful thick long hair 😩😩😍😍💕 I can’t wait to get to this stage I did so much damage/bullshit to my hair can’t wait to grow it back ‼️

As a dominican who lives in Dominican Republic. Hair stylists are Really Good at making curly hair straight but they do use a lot of heat. Also, we don't typically flat iron, we just blow dry.

That heat though..

Did your hair revert?!?

It turned out cute!

Why is everyone coming for Dominicans?????? There’s nothing wrong with going to their salons black people really need to stop acting like we the only ones who can do hair. Her hair looked cute the only thing about Dominicans is that they use a lot of heat.

i definetly love your hair and u my African mama muahhhh 😘😘😘🥰

Homegirl in the back was staring you down sis during your hairflip lol but that's beside the point lol.... your hair is so pretty ☺

Wow looks beautiful

🔥🔥🔥TOO MUCH HEAT🔥🔥🔥

Please do a video on how you're hair is after you wash it and if you got heat damage

They did a good job...why do people have to be so negative

That’s an amazing trim

Dominicans are the best when it comes down to silk presses!!

No telling what temperature that flat iron was on! 😩

I liked how she cut it, some ppl just get to happy when u ask for a trim...I would go back but leave after the blow dry😏

I only go to the Dominicans once a couple of years because I don’t like a lot of heat but they do straighten natural hair the best!!

The music had me dancin so much I didnt watch the video! LOL!

i think it looks bomb!😍😍😍😍

Looks amazing. In my opinion its too much heat,trim was amazing she took what was needed.

I see that shine!

Your hair looks good.

From England love it

I getting my blow out in 2 weeks and I'm excited but I'm like 11 I'm getting it done for the first day of school YAY

I remember I went to the Dominicans , my hair smelled fried for a week. Shampooed and it still smelt burnt . Bc after that. I’ll never go back. But a lot of people’s hair can take it. I’m just not one of them. Your hair came out pretty tho.

No more perms they do a great job and keep your hair healthy

as a single dad raising a 13 yo by myself...with a daughter who hair, as i was told by several cosmo's is the thickest they ever seen... the dominican salon has been my savior... he hair is beautiful and long down her back..and it stays straight a long time...one thing i noticed at my salon.. they dont use straight iron at all... just the blow dryer... i am a man so i dont have a clue about any of this...but her hair is always on point and easy for me to maintain at home..

Omg i go there i just went today to get my hair curled for school!

Dominican salons are notorious for too much heat. Be careful. They also generally don't take a conservative, long term approach to hair. You can see that by the way she is putting that hair dryer right on your bar and the brush. They really should not ever touch. And she did 3-4 passes. That's also a big no no.

She did great especially compared to other videos. It was barely any steam in this video and your hair looked healthy.

She did a good job here

They trimmed your hair perfectly fine you still got inches 😛💁🏽

that was a lot of passes with that flat iron! wow!

Same with me to that why I never go back

I did this twice a month to heat train my hair the products they use have heat protectant in it but it depends on the person my hair didn’t get heat damaged

you did a good job on her hair

this is Beautiful bit after the flat iron the trim

I just keep coming here for the song 😍

Her parts were too big, her hair is thick, so the thicker the hair the thinner the sections, as a licensed cosmetologist in California I would have too a more different approach to her thick hair. Looks like it was just blow dried tbh.

Yasss sis!

Looks good, but I don't think it's worth it

She used the tension method when blow drying so it’s not as much heat as you think

If I go to a hair salon and they think they're gonna use a flat iron in my hair because they want to be lazy and not give me a good set of rollers and a good blow dry I am walking right out lol

She ended up walking away with the best hair in that joint

The hair flipping was soo satisfying! Haha

That cut was satisfying lol

Beautiful hair! They need to use better shampoo n conditioner. Massage your edges with oils every night and stay away from ponytails. It will grow back.

aye liked soon as i heard the song lmfao #westafricannnn

I do my own Dominican wash and sets at home. No blow dryer. Just take out the rollers and flat iron my hair. That’s all.

Wish she could trim my hair, she did a good job. My only complaint is she passed that flat iron too many times in one section, id surely get heat damage.
