What are some 'iamtraeh natural hair horror stories'?

Well, I once went to a so - called 'natural hair expert' for a treatment. They put some kind of chemical - like substance on my hair, saying it would enhance the curl pattern. Instead, it made my hair brittle and some parts even started to straighten out in a really unnatural way. I was horrified. I had to cut off a lot of the damaged hair and start all over with my hair care routine. It was a costly and time - consuming mistake.

One horror story is when a stylist cut way too much hair off. A girl asked for just a trim of her natural curls but ended up with hair that was several inches shorter. It completely changed her look in a bad way.

One common one is hair dye disasters. People try to dye their natural hair at home and end up with a color that's completely different from what they expected, like orange instead of blonde.

Another horror story might be about bad haircuts. A natural black girl went to a salon where the stylist didn't understand the unique texture of black hair. Instead of giving her a nice trim, the stylist cut her hair unevenly. Some parts were much shorter than others, and it took months for her hair to grow back to a somewhat presentable state. It was really embarrassing for her at school and social events.

Well, once I tried to cut my own natural hair. I thought it would be easy, but I ended up with a really lopsided look. It was so bad that I had to wear a hat for weeks until I could get it fixed at a salon.

One common horror story is dealing with hair breakage. Many natural black girls have experienced excessive breakage due to improper styling or using the wrong products. For example, using heat without proper heat protectant can lead to brittle hair that snaps easily.

Sure. A common one is when the stylist doesn't listen. For example, a woman with natural afro - textured hair wanted a simple style that would enhance her curls. But the stylist forced a straightening treatment on her, ruining her curls and leaving her hair damaged.

A girl once used a new hair product that she thought would make her hair shiny. But instead, it caused a really bad allergic reaction. Her scalp became itchy, red, and swollen. Her hair also started to fall out in the areas where the product was applied. It was a nightmare as she had to deal with the discomfort and the loss of her precious hair.

A young lady's big chop natural hair story is quite interesting. She had been through years of straightening her hair with harsh chemicals. One day, she just had enough and went for a big chop. In the beginning, she faced some challenges like finding the right products for her natural hair type. But with time, she experimented with different oils and creams. Her natural hair started to thrive and she now loves showing off her natural coils, often inspiring others to do the same.

One hair horror story is when I got my hair caught in a zipper. I was in a rush to put on my jacket and suddenly, a big chunk of my hair was yanked. It was so painful that I almost cried. Another is when I dyed my hair at home and it turned out a completely different, awful color, like a neon green instead of the soft blonde I expected.
