Dear Elisha,
Hi, well i'm not relatively new to rebonding. This is my 3rd time. The very first time i did it was when the system got introduced and wasn't so bloody trendy. It worked great! 2nd time was marvelous too. But the 3rd time has been a disappointment for me. The last 2 years the owner did the re-bonding for me, I noticed she took her time in applying the creams/gels and carefully ironed out my hair. Her assistant who did my sister's hair last year however hurried the process. My sis's hair become wavy in just hours. She was so sad, I couldn't help her out.
This year the owner wasn't there but the assistant was. She seemed to know what she was doing until she hurried the process. I was a little suprised that the whole thing finished so fast compared to the last 2 years i've been doing it! I went back home happy with what i saw in the mirror. The morning after then came the shock treatment. My hair was wavy a the back and curled up infront. I spent $140 on my hair and went back to her. I stated how unhappy i was cos this has never happened to me before as i always wait until my hair is healthy before i actually proceed to do any rebonding. She re did my hair that day and I went home, praying it wouldn't curl up again.
She then asked me to come back for a steaming session 2 days later, i did. Slightly wavy to straight again. I even bought special shampoo for rebonded hair. ( Capirelax ReBond System) shampoo.
Now my problem is that my hair is wavy infront and dry. I noticed that as soon as i washed my hair on Deepavali morning. What a shock i got after i blow dried my hair!
She told me it was a japan product she used. The best part came when she asked me $30 for steaming my hair. So now i ended up paying $170 for my hair which is not done well as i hoped. I went to pay her today and told her my hair didn't look good. And she said it was because of my layered hair and asked me if my hair touched water? Um...wtf? I mean she told me it was okay to take a hair wash after 3 days! She told me my hair was straight enough when it had gone all wavy. I had no choice but to leave.
What should i do? My hair doesn't have the shiny look like my past re bonding experience and doesn't feel silky at all. Should i buy the special conditioner for my hair too? Cos i'm using the Pantene smooth & silky one now. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me advice.
Sorry this was so long as this is my first time experiencing such unsatisfactory results.
