She HATED the curl pattern I chose. 😭😂
Her first install had a looser curl, but since then, she’d stopped using excessive heat. Her natural curls were healthier, tighter, and more defined, so I selected a tighter texture based on her updated photos.
She wasn’t convinced it would blend, so I drove all over Atlanta traffic searching for other options—and even spent an extra $250 on hair. 😩
But when I got back, her natural hair had fully dried…
AND IT WAS AN EXACT MATCH TO THE HAIR I’D ORIGINALLY SELECTED. 😭
This is why textured hair must be assessed dry. Wet hair can look temporarily elongated, making the curl pattern appear looser than it really is.
In the end, the blend was seamless, and she loved it. ❤️
The lesson? Trust your stylist’s expertise, but never be afraid to speak up. Communication and trust create the best results.
Would you have trusted the process or made me drive all over Atlanta too? 😂👇🏽
