Dominican Hair Salons -- "the best damn blow out!"



Any Sister familiar with Dominican Hair Salons knows
you leave the salon with your hair bone straight;
able to blow in the wind -- for real.

Dominican stylists give -- hands down -- "the best damn blow out!"

Dominicans are a mixture of African, Spanish, Native American.
The Carribean Sister is familiar with a variety of hair textures.

...and they will whip out that crack cream (relaxer) in a heartbeat.

In the early 1970s from Hispaniola: A Case History in Multicultural Madness 
-- Dominican sociologist Daysi Josefina Guzman identified 15 kinds of hair
textures.  Her scale went from bueno (good) for soft Caucasian hair to
malo (bad) for kinky, Negroid hair.

Here's a peek at her crazy hair spectrum:

1.  Lacio - straight & smooth
2.  Achinado - stiff hair
3.  Espeso - thick, abundant & slightly wavy
4.  Macho - thick & strong, abundant but without luster
5.  Rizado - thick and fine with small waves but dull
6.  Muerto - thin and greasy
7.  Ondulado - wavy
8.  Vivo - thick, dry & out of control
9.  Variable - indescribable
10. Crespo - thick & frizzy
11. de Pimienta - peppery, growing slow & tight to the skull in small balls
12. Motica - like peppery hair but thin, wavy
13. Pegaito - so close to the skull that it is impossible to comb

The Black Hair Inferiority Mindset has claws that intersects all
corners of the planet...
