| - I transitioned for 2 years, big chopped in April '17 and went to the salon (Radically Curly) for the first time last October '17.
I went in and immediately was greeted very warmly and given a hair consultation which made me feel good.
The original appointment I booked was for a curl definition treatment (my main goal, curl definition and moisture).
Everything was good until we got to the wash bowl and two ladies were defanging my hair. My hair was very matted, and they were detangling it with a hand brush similar to a curl teezer.
They assured me that the it sounded far worse than it actually was.
The pictures show what my hair looked like before, and the after picture is literally right after they finished "styling" my hair.
My hair was crunchy and stiff and felt absolutely awful immediately after my "deep conditioning treatment." I believed they used Deva Curl products on my hair, however I am not 100% sure.
As soon as I got home I washed my hair, only to find that the texture felt completely different.
I had two Afros in one (because of all of the breakage) and my hair would not take to any of my products the same way that it did prior.
Now, 6 months later, and my hair is still recovering. Every time I was I have breakage (which I never ha before), my hair is dryer than ever, and it will not clump anymore.
I went to Raw Remedies, didn't tell them anything about my hair, they looked at my hair and asked if I had put a chemical treatment on it, because majority of it was damaged.
I now wear my hair in braided protective styles everyday and I have just accepted the fact that my two years of transitioning was ruined in a few short hours, and the fact that I'll just have to grow out and cut off all the hair that received the treatment at Radically Curly.
I can't even begin to put into words my devastation. There's not a day that goes by that I am not saddened by the current state of my hair.
At the end of the day, no one is going to treat your hair as well as you.
