Dominican Salons
Say Whaaaa???
Latest Study Finds Dominican Salons are
Competing Better than African American Salons!!
Ok, Somebody about to get HOTCOMBED up in here!
That's right 'Chacha's, an article in the Wall Street Journal revealed SHOCKING revelations in the "hair world", ('cause somebody has to follow it). It
seems that Salons owned by DOMINICANS are faring BETTER than SALONS OWNED by AFRICAN AMERICANS! (and if we were MICHELLE OBAMA, we would NOT be pleased!)
Okay, okay, we ain't gonna HATE on DOMINICANS 'cause you KNOW we love some DOMINICAN FLAVOR (Michelle Rodriguez half?, Rosario Dawson half?, A-ROD our baby daddy!!! and uh, uh, ok....SAMMY SOSA, but the BLACK one!) So if DOMINICANS bring a better GAME, then it's fine. HOWEVER, the Wall Street Journal article might suggest otherwise.....
According to the Wall Street Journal article "Many traditional black stylists accuse Dominicans of misrepresenting their services as "natural" because nearly all Dominican salons perform relaxer touch-ups. Traditionalists say the "Dominican blowout" technique can cause severe hair breakage(BIG LIE). Both sorts of stylists wash, set hair in rollers and seat customers under big dryers.
in contrast, the "Post" article" goes on to SAY...
African-American stylists typically use a curling iron to unfurl the hair, while Dominicans use a two-handed method of unraveling the strands with a round brush, followed by a blow dryer in the other hand to smooth the curl to a straight finish. Dominicans do so by pulling from the hair root, often forcefully. That, along with applying the second round of intense heat, leads to breakage, say black stylists and some customers(HATERS).
