I had an experience where I tried to do a protective style myself for my natural hair. I followed all the online tutorials as best as I could. But when I took it out after a few weeks, my hair was all matted together. It took me hours to try to detangle it, and in the process, a lot of hair got pulled out. It was a really painful and frustrating experience, and I learned that I should probably leave some more complicated styles to the professionals.
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 could be constantly dealing with frizz. No matter what products you use, your natural hair just frizzes up like crazy, especially in humid weather. It can make you look unkempt and feel self - conscious.
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.
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.
Sure. There was a girl who tried a DIY hair dye at home. She thought it would be a great idea to change her hair color to a lighter shade. But the dye reacted badly with her natural black hair. Her hair turned a strange orange - brown color that was nothing like what she expected. It took multiple salon visits and a lot of money to try and fix it, but her hair was still damaged in the process.
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.
Well, I used to have really short hair. But I decided to grow it long. It took years. I had to deal with a lot of tangles, especially during humid days. I also learned different ways to style it, like braids. And I found that natural oils are great for keeping it healthy.
My friend had a hair horror story. She got extensions put in her hair. But the person who did it did it really badly. The extensions started to pull on her real hair and it was so painful. Some of her hair even got ripped out. She had to go to the doctor to get treatment for the pain and damage.
Sure. There are many. For example, my friend Lily. She used to have very frizzy and unruly natural hair. She started using natural oils like argan oil regularly and switched to sulfate - free shampoos. After a few months, her hair became much shinier and more manageable.
Sure. One time my friend with really curly hair went camping. When she woke up in the morning, her hair had frizzed out so much it looked like she had a halo of cotton candy around her head. It was hilarious.
Sure. There was a person who took Ambien and woke up to find that they had written strange and disturbing messages all over their walls. They had no memory of doing it at all. It was really creepy as it was like some unknown force had taken over them while they were under the influence of the drug.
