Alternately peek in every salon window you pass checking for stylists with hair like yours. I was a stylist for 10 years, and my population of curly-heads grew exponentially each year via referrals. I have hair like yours, but thinner. Also, because I never had a good stylist growing up, I decided to master haircare for ALL kinds of hair, all ethnicities, so I wouldn't have to turn anyone away. As a result, I was the only stylist in a black haircare salon who had customers from a diversity of cultures and ethnicities. By the way, that stylist who didn't want to 'tackle' your hair then offered you a rubber band, should be ashamed. It will take time to find a compatible stylist (if you haven't found one yet), but they are out there, and I wish you all the best! P.S. If there is ever a next time that your hair suffers damage (knocking on wood that there won't be), use a little Nexxus Emergencee reconstructor, 2 treatments 1-1/2 months apart, to help fix your situation. It is now sold all over the place, not just illegally in privately owned beauty supply shops, but at Kmart, CVS, and elswhere.MsKatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320831103726849263.post-59671979758709251082011-12-30T23:52:38.540-08:002011-12-30T23:52:38.540-08:00The best stylist I ever had was Puerto Rican.

Who would have ever thought that my best stylist to this day would be located in a tiny town in Southern Oregon! Wish I could remember her name so I could pass it on.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924980119673941843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320831103726849263.post-35369517728446978602011-12-29T19:16:29.396-08:002011-12-29T19:16:29.396-08:00Hmm.

I've been advised to always cut your hair at an angle so that the ends don't look choppy.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924980119673941843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320831103726849263.post-53036592914943318382011-12-22T23:00:10.934-08:002011-12-22T23:00:10.934-08:00Anonymous:

So far I haven't done anything at all with my hair and that seems to be working the best. :) I've just been cupping water through it every morning, adding conditioner that I leave in, and then braidiing it at night, which is all part of my daily hair care routine that I copied from the book Curly Like Me. <br /><br />The conditioner I use -- Biolage Ultra Hydrating Balm (I think that's what it's called) is my wonder drug! Each day my hair gets a bit more hydration back.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924980119673941843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320831103726849263.post-38471078090669106872011-12-21T16:00:22.416-08:002011-12-21T16:00:22.416-08:00Oh, my goodness!
