| - It's now been a couple years since my Brazilian Blowout that I mentioned I'd be getting in my last review. I wish I hadn't gotten it. It was the worst hair decision I've ever made. I was so nervous to do it and it was awful. My natural hair, all that work, all those marathon detangling sessions, all for nothing. Michael overprocessed my hair and permanently damaged my curls. I was so distraught. I couldn't believe i had had such a great experience before only to have such a terrible consequence next. I asked him to do minimal passes as I had researched techniques to use on natural hair to preserve the curl pattern. I didn't want bone straight hair, I just wanted my curls to be easier to deal with. I told him so many times what I wanted but he did what he thought was correct and didn't heed what I had to say. I second guessed myself because he was the professional and I should trust him. No. Nope. I should've trusted my gut and been more assertive. Because of his overprocessing, I had to start my natural hair journey all over again. The first time I washed my hair I was devastated, i cried for three days and was so embarrassed about making such a huge mistake. Over the next few months, my hair was dry and gross, always frizzy and eventually started to break off. I didn't care because I was transitioning anyway. I ended up doing a 2 year transition, slowly cutting away the straight dead hair. My hair is longer and healthier than it was before, that is the one positive from the situation. I wish Michael would have listened to me better. If you are natural and looking to preserve your curls, do NOT do a brazilian blowout. I take away 3 stars for Michael not listening to me and ruining my hair.
