 Trini girl natural. Hi everyone. Welcome to my channel. I decided to come on and show you how I prepare and the whole go into the salon drama. What to do when you get there, what to do before you go and which rules is good to break before you go. So if you have been subscribed to me for a while, you know I usually don't use combs, usually don't use brushes, any kind of tools and I usually don't use silicones. I broke all of those rules last night. So this is me using silicones. My denim brush. Give me a blow out. I'm going to use silicones to help protect my hair from heat damage. I know she's gonna, that's a second, my usual finger detailing regimen. Denim and brush which is like my favorite detailing tool if I have to use one to make sure I get every single tangled out. And I just use the Y2 comb to double triple make sure. So when I get there, there should be no knots in my hair. Blowing it out shouldn't be a drama. So it shouldn't be hard on her and it shouldn't be hard on me. Especially the timeline because how are they going to do it? They're going to do it how they do it. So I guess most stylists, a lot of stylists, because I had one before I had to get away with doing my own hair and just coming for the trim. But most stylists shampoo your hair first. They don't feel like you can shampoo your own down hair. So most stylists want to shampoo and condition your hair themselves. And my new stylist, she's one of those. So I bring conditioner, deep conditioner, and silicones to help protect my hair. Ask them if he's a heat protectant as well. So that's another checklist to just be brave. Speak up. Definitely speak up. Speak up. Let them know. Let them know, hey, this is too tight. This is too hot. This is whatever. You know, this is hurting. This is really gentle. Like even if she finds a knot, like I don't feel pain when she's getting it out. But I know some people are a little harsher. So you deserve better. You deserve the best. You deserve a stylist as gentle on your hair. No matter what your hair situation is, you don't have to settle for somebody pulling out your hair and being rude about your hair and yanking. So let's make sure you get her card. Make sure you get her number. So that even if she moves from that salon, you still can reach her. Because I have had like the one who used to let me shampoo and condition my own hair and just show up to get the trim. She left the salon and I didn't have her information. So tears. So I'm a new salon now. I like the new person. Make sure I have her information. Even though she insists on shampooing my hair herself, she's still really gentle with the trims. So when I'm doing a trim in particular, if I know I'm getting a blowout, I like to deep condition, make sure I deep condition recently. So even the day before, I was really lazy yesterday and I didn't deep condition, but I would like to have a protein treatment and a deep condition within a week before I get the trim. I was lazy this time and didn't do either one of them. So that's bad. Definitely do that. So I had the trim scheduled for like 1.30. I woke up at like 10. And I had done something that I'm like the night before. So I woke up at like 10. Put those conditioner in, which she saw. And do my thing at the time. My dead man, my white tooth comb. And I just like plated up. Like that's another, that's where you can use like a cheap leaving or something. If you know, it's going to get rimmed down in an hour. Just use some kind of cheap leaving. So of course that's another rule I'm breaking in terms of wetting my hair often. Because sometimes I wet it the night before to detangle and deep condition. Everything I guess wet the next day. But it's kind of unavoidable in these cases where for what you want here to be as detangled as possible. And for two, the stylist insists on washing it themselves. So that's another kind of rule I break in terms of frequent washing. So we have silicone, house brushes, frequent washing. Yeah, all those rules are broken. So yeah, I think it's okay to break some rules if you know the stylist is going to break it with. Or if it's like self defense against something the stylist is going to do. Make sure you hunt for a good stylist and make sure you hold on to her or him if you find him or her. So I hope these tips were helpful and thanks so much for watching. Make sure you subscribe to kind of see more of my journey. And I'll see you in the next one. Bye.
