I was in college when I got my first sew-in. I went to one of the best stylist in the area. Months later, I decided I wanted to get another and go somewhere cheaper, I was a broke college student. I called this lady and she told me she could do it for $75. Originally I paid $150. She said she had different way of doing them: she would twist the hair instead of cornrowing and that it was easier on the hair. This was my second sew-in and I figured it was okay plus she was older (45-55 years old), so I figured she came up with something to keep up with modern times. I got half a relaxer (the portion that was going to be left out) and she started twisting my hair. The twists were tighter then the cornrows, that should have been a red flag. When she was done, the male stylist that was in the shop looked at me so crazy and asked her if she liked it and not me. I was so hot. I looked like a fool. It looked nothing like what I had before. I took the sew-in out the next day and had a fellow student friend finish the other half of the relaxer. It was a case of you get what you pay for.
I've never heard that way before.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they give you half a relaxer?
That kind of happened to me. I had a "cousin" that lived close to where i was going to college and all my family members told me to go to her because she would only charge me $25. At the time i had a weave and only needed it to be washed and styled. As her wash girl was washing my hair, she stated that she had never seen a weave put in like that (Im from NY and I was in Maryland). So she stopped washing it and asked my cousin to come over and take a look. They were so in awe of the cornrowing technique that my stylist had done that no one knew what to do after that. They finished washing and set me on rollers. OMG....I walked out of there with the weave hanging off my head (it had loosened due to the rought washing) and big poodle curls...HORRIBLE.
