Why did she straighten my hair?

Malory

I went to the salon to get my hair colour touched up. I was planning to let it air dry, but at the end, when it was sopping wet, I was feelng really cold, and I didn't want to go outside with wet hair, so I agreed to let the stylist give me "a quick blast with the blowdryer".

Now, I can blowdry my hair for a short time and it will be straighter, but it won't be straight. The stylist, however, pulled my hair straight as she was drying it, so now I have straight hair. It looks noticeably different from when I walked in (other than the colour, I mean.)

It doesn't look bad now, but the thing is, I didn't ask to have it straightened. If I walked in with wavy hair, why did the stylist think that I didn't want to walk out with wavy hair.

That stinks! I think salons kinda equate 'blow dry' with 'blow out.'

idk she probably either didnt know how to blow dry curl hair right and thought this was easier, or thought that thats what you wanted..t stinks but thats why when i go i have to be SUPER specific on what i want, lol

I agree. Especially for wavies. :P

I HATE it when a haircutter asks if I want my hair blown out straight! I usually say no thanks, I like to have my hair air-dry, or at the very most, a light diffusing. Usually they ask that to see if I'd like "something different". Well, in this case I don't, as it took up until my late 20's to accept my naturally curly hair and not straighten it by either chemicals or blow-drying, and I intend to keep my curls. I don't even own a blow dryer, for any reason.
Fortunately I'm with a good cutter now for curly hair, so I don't get that question anymore.
