Style & Beauty: Experiencing a Dominican Hair Salon

I am a big fan of trying out new styles and treatments with my hair, as long as they are healthy for the hair. For months I have been hearing a new buzz about Dominican Hair Salons and this treatment called "Dominican Blowout". I heard that it was pretty good, and I researched the pros and cons of going to the salon to receive the blowout treatment. About 2 weeks ago I decided to try out the treatment, and see what effect it would have on my hair. Needless to say I was very impressed. I was very impressed because I was in and out of the salon in an hour, the beautician was very nice, and she was not gossiping the whole time. For those who live a very stressful lifestyle those three features of a salon are very important. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the process of the Dominican Blowout, here you go:

1st: Hair is washed and massaged using Dominican products
2nd: Conditioner is applied, then you sit under the hair dryer for 15-20 minutes
3rd: Conditioner is washed out
4th: The hair is sectioned off, and a ceramic round brush is used along with hot air from a blow
dryer to straighten the hair
5th: Massages the hair with light oil
6th: A small flat iron is lightly used to bump the hair

I was very impressed because my hair was full with body. Upon visiting the salon I was in dire need of a relaxer; however, upon me leaving the salon, my hair was straight, shiny, and healthy. I plan to only visit the salon once every 8 weeks. I love my regular beautician, and I am not ready to depart from a relaxed style, which is why I will only visit the salon once every 8 weeks. For those of you with natural hair, this treatment would be perfect for you. The process may vary among the Dominican salons, therefore visit the salon at your own risk.
