Six Hour Hair

I am not sure how my hair-do took 6 hours, but in fact it did. It started with a wash. After they washed it and blow-dried it, they put chemical all over the hair on just the top middle pieces of the hair. Next, they put on ionic perm—this sat on my hair for almost an hour. Next, they washed out the chemical and then dried my hair, and pulled each individual strand straight with a straightener—this took over an hour. Next, they put in kinky coils (which looked like wire cleaners) in several small sections of my hair. I knew this was not a good idea (getting wire cleaners twisted in our hair after it had just been made straight) but the lady I was with assured me that it would be okay because they had just finished doing this process in her hair. Yes, it was okay--if you like the crimped look—it’s great!! Even this lady was quite surprised by the end result of the pipe cleaners in our hair. Basically, our hair is stick straight except for about one inch of our hair right below the top layer where there is a kinky, mini perm. It’s a unique style, and it’s very original.
