my comb coils

i have been finally able to do SOMETHING with my hair with it FINALLY getting some length to it. so over the Thanks Giving Holiday i went to a natural hair care salon here in Baltimore( http://www.dreadznheadz.com/ ) i had been wanting to try this salon for sooooo long. and when i finally did and i walked in the place i was like "oh?? this is it??". not to be condensending to them or thier shop because the stylist do wonderful hair , i was taken aback by the look of the shop. i dont know. this salon is responsible for almost all if not ALL of the natural hair events and what nots that happen around the baltimore/ washington area. however i had never had my hair done in this shop prior to this day. when i walked in it looked like a regular hum drum salon. i was expecting something sooo much more grand and just BETTER. i mean...my mothers two salons look WAY better then this. well, that was just the appearence. at any rate they do great hair. lmaooo i guess thats y they have the rep they do here in baltimore. when i walked in i hopping to get one style but upon my consultation with the shop owner she told me that i would be unable to get that particular style i wanted because my hair was "too long" for it. she said i could either get cornrows or comb coils. well i immediately opted for the cornrows because i have personally always been put off by comb coils. i mean they look great on other people but i never thought I would look right with them. so i go buy cornrow hair and the stylist begins them but after she finnishes one or two she stopped and said "i dont want you to be dissapointed by the condition of these braids when i get done, but they dont look right. your hair is too short and they are a lil fuzzy. i dont feel confortable with doing something i am not pleased with and that i know u wont be also. the problem is, is that you are at a really dumb point in your hair growth where your options are kind of limited. and it's too short to many styles but too long to do others. right now ur best bet is the comb coils. you should be able to do much more, including cornrows in abouuuuut another month of growth" i was annoyed , but what could i do and i wasnt walking out of that shop without my hair in some sort of style. so i said "yes" to the comb coils and prayed that i would like them. AND I LOOOOVED THEM:


They were soooooo cute. they look good. only thing is that she used beeswax in them to make them stay and of coarse that was hell washing out and it didnt make them last very long. as a matter of fat that was my problem with this style it diesnt last long and she used beeswax. so needless to say i will NOT be getting them again. but i WILL be going to that shop again. i like the conversation and how i was treated in general there. i gotta say though, going in my expectations were not rel high for this place. but i was pleasently surprised. GOOD JOB!
