If you lived in any of the Boroughs of New York, chances are you have either been to a Dominican Salon or you have heard about one. I lived in Brooklyn for a minute and during that time I had my fair share of Dominican roller sets and the occasional blowout!
Isn’t it amazing how they can get your hair bone straight just using a blow dryer* and a round brush? Honestly it took a minute for me to find the best salon, I was very cautious because my hair needed ‘healing’ at that time. I loved going though it was fast and cheap and when I left the salon make no mistake, my hair was laid hunty!
Below we’ve got two videos of women, getting the typical Dominican blowout treatment on their natural hair. Prepare yourselves because there is A LOT of heat involved so try not to cringe, they looked great after we promise!
Here’s the thing not all Dominican Salons are created equal, so if you’ve had a bad experience at one it doesn’t automatically mean they are all bad, here are some tips if you decide to visit a salon.
1. Know what salon is about going in – The best way to determine if you want to go to ‘that’ salon is through references, honestly trying a bunch of them until you find the right one might not be a great idea because you run the risk of your hair becoming seriously damaged along the way.
2. If you are natural and the stylist suggests that you relax, just pack it up and go – Most salons especially nowadays know how to handle natural hair and if they are really good, they know how to heat style your hair without causing any damage.
3. Know that they do not enhance your curls – Do not expect suggestions on keeping your curl pattern like a natural hair salon would probably be focused on. They are designed to change your curl pattern and get your hair straight, just not permanently. *wink*
4. Speak up – Be clear in distinguishing if you want a wash and set or a full blown straightening job. The Dominican salon can get your hair straight, they know how to do it, and so if you prefer a less ‘damaging’ option you can get a roller set with a blow out only to your roots, so that you get that straight look without the possible damage. If there is a language barrier, do not be afraid to demonstrate, they deal with the English language daily.
5. Bring your own stuff – If you like sulfate free shampoo* you better have it in your purse, if you use a particular brand of heat protectant*, have that with you as well. I have never been to a salon that did not accommodate my product needs and neither should you.
6. Proceed with caution – We have seen women do a traditional wash and set without the blow drying and flat ironing and actually retain length maintaining healthy hair. However if you are subjecting your hair to consistent heat, you will run the risk of heat damage.
If your strands are fine/thin then be warned that the amount of heat used during a Dominican blowout will likely change your curl pattern permanently so don’t even think about it!
The blow-dryers they use are very powerful with heat above 300 degrees at times, so don’t be fooled that because it’s just a blow dryer* it won’t cause any damage. If they opt to use a flat iron* after that, it can end up being too much for your delicate strands.
Honestly it’s a technique that I am not able to wholeheartedly recommend simply because of the amount of heat involved but perhaps seeing the videos will make it easier for you to make up your own minds.
Here’s the Dominican blowout on looser kinky* hair.
And here is the same technique on very tightly coiled kinky* hair.
Aisha Johnson says
Damaging to your hair….
Precious Soadorable Cartwright says
she is prettier with her natural hair
Grace Labelle says
Dominican Blowout fried the crap out of my hair. Never again.
Nicola NikNak Bell says
Grace, same here and my hair had a burned smell for a week. It broke my hair off!! Never again!
Still Standing says
Now if your hair had a burn smell to it you should have wash it,immediately and wash you hair once a week usually when the burn smell is on your hair it has been straightened with hair products that,has been on your hair before it was ironed, hot pressed Your hair needs to be cleaned before you press or flat iron except for the conditioner you use on your hair!!!
Millicent Hobbs Harrison says
You just confirmed that for me. I always been afraid to try it because it looks like it’s killing your hair. I said i would never try it. If your going to put your hair through that you might as well get a relaxer. look’s great but NO.
Alicia Johnson-Hawthorne says
I can see how it would burn your hair from looking at the video. That’s a lot of heat..
Naijah Ireese Nock says
Natural better
Ta'Leah Kendzior says
love both of them
Jamillah Davis says
She looks pretty w/ both styles:)
Marion Storm Survivor-Saunches says
Extensions
Sdot Chambers says
I looked at that and thought the same thing.
Jamillah Davis says
I guess you all didn’t watch the video either? SMH…
Alexis Benton says
WATCH THE VIDEO
Ceasarz Curlz says
Real
Amelia White says
Watch the video black women have long hair tooo! Smdh
Joi says
Watch the video it’s her real hair.
Vanessa White says
Too much concentrated heat to get hair “bone” straight! Might as well use a relaxer, less damage imo lol!!
Tamika Birmingham says
I don’t think I will risk it.
TaShuna Lattimore says
Sooo…I am assuming Dominican blow outs aren’t good?
Still Standing says
They are but not too much because it is definitely extreme heat you how to let them keep up with it and if not make sure your hair is getting condition once to every other weak cause all of our,hair needs conditioned to some degree!!
Still Standing says
Read Sanai post you will see Im right but still everybody hair can’t take what the other person hair can so that how to be took into consideration too!!!
Rochelle Thompson says
Her hair look good
Senai Ididthat says
I love the blow out but that’s a lot of heat. I only get that every several months.
Latia Wilder says
I like her natural texture on her better.
Still Standing says
O do to!!!
Jaemela Dixon says
I promise Atayia Shanice Menefee I thought this was you at a glance.
Emiliegh Alexandra says
Not as much heat? Um your under a dryer for 30minutes and then have a blowdryer for another 30minutes.. that’s quite a bit of heat
Joyce Killedthemessenger Williams says
She got a weave?
Shamira Green says
Now the devil is a liar that’s weave hair added to the back smgdh
Jamillah Davis says
Did u watch the video?
BlackHairInformation.com says
Watch the video Shamira Green you can clearly see her length as her hair is being blown out.
Jamillah Davis says
Don’t u get tired of repeating that tidbit of info, BlackHairInformation.com?
Chiedza Rushwaya says
Watch the video!
Shamira Green says
BlackHairInformation.com my hair is this length when I take my braids out and wash it plus shrinkage but when my beautician blow dried my hair out three weeks ago my hair was not this length not even close so yeah I think they are weave pieces added
Shamira Green says
You guys I haven’t watched the video but I’m about to and i’ll be back with my opinion
BlackHairInformation.com says
Oh my yes Jamillah Davis it’s exhausting! Even I’ve been accused of having weave in my hair yet nobody claims it’s a weave when it’s kinky and shrunken! My hair shrunk to my shoulders when I was APL and it still shrinks to my shoulders now at WL. smh
Florence Dntholdbackshit Francis says
Shamira Green I do agree with you. That’s not all here hair. I watched the video just now and the length is not even close to the length we see here in front of us. Hair extension and there isn’t anything wrong with that
Ceasarz Curlz says
I can’t stop laughing and shaking my head. She even played with her hair at the end. It’s really sad when we don’t know what our hair is capable of. I had someone dig their fingers in my head and pull while asking if my hair was real. Then said “oops, I’m so sorry I thought it was fake” while laughing.
Amelia White says
Lol cuz yo hair lacking that aint all hers. Girl sit yo hatin ass down
Jamillah Davis says
I can’t with is foolery! U watched the video and still said it’s a weave? Smh…
Ena Blue says
NOW THE DEVIL IS A HATER!!!! DEVIL GET THEE BEHIND ME LMAOO!!!
Kimberly Dixon says
Guess she’s still watching the video lmbo!!
Shamira Green says
@Kimberly Dixon! Hunni I’m laughing all the way to the bank at your fish face ass still all the way on my comment from yesterday yeah I watched the video tutorial almost 24 hours ago;-) And my opinion is they added a few extra pieces to the womens head for extra length also fullness so go wash that make-up off your face;-) I have natural beauty no need for all dat hunni smoochish!
Kimberly Dixon says
Ms Green I saw your natural beauty bust wide open on your page. Sweat heart I normally don’t talk to insecure hood rats…and I won’t start today. Lmbo you’re too funny
Kimberly Dixon says
Sweetheart*
MsVina Smiley says
You have natural beauty but you have pics with your legs wide open? LMAO! #Tragic
Yanni AfroLatina W-b says
Wooo that’s a lot of heat but it does get your hair straight as if I got a fresh perm straight lol
Jameen Sheppard says
Im gonna need yall admins of this page to stop showing people with natural hair then “poof” whatever procedure she had done its long and luxurious. …like we don’t know what added pieces look like.
Jamillah Davis says
But u do realize hair shrinks, right? And it gets longer when it’s straightened, right?
BlackHairInformation.com says
Why don’t you watch the video Jameen Sheppard? You can see her hair being blown out and it is definitely that long.
Erin Marisol Corine Johnson says
Come on now. Shrinkage. Don’t be dense just because your hair doesn’t look like this. #pleasecalmdown
Alexis Benton says
You’re so pathetic. I’ve seen so many people with tight hair so it looks shorter when curly. Don’t be mad cause you’re hair isn’t like that. Just plain ignorant.
Jennifer Olivaccé Pascal says
That’s the way my hair is..
Ceasarz Curlz says
It’s called shrinkage. If you stretch a slinky what would happen?
Amelia White says
Im gonna need u special broads to actually read and watch the video
Antwanette Wiley says
when I wash my hair its not longer then my pinky…but when straightened it goes a little past my shoulders..so I believe its her hair….and I watched the video, its hers.
LaDonna Lolo Foster says
I BELIEVE IT MY HAIR DOES THE SAME THING !!!!!
Ena Blue says
SOME PEOPLE JUST HATE BLACK WOMEN WITH LONG HAIR…. ESPECIALLY DARK SKINNED BLACK WOMEN … PATHETIC!
Mojo says
okay so you sound confused, for one didn’t you just say the devil is a lie and stand behind me? and then go ahead and say some ish like this? Imma need you to make up your mind, whose side are you on? also I’m darkskinned with long hair, and the girl in the video is darkskinned as well, i have cousins who are even darker than me with long hair..there is no hate within one group (so stop generalizing)… some women, of all races, shades and sizes, hate when they feel uncomfortable with themselves….obviously you must be one of them I pray the Lord blesses you and helps you with whatever you’re going through…Lord please help them all.
Yolanda Brown says
EXTREMELY HARD ON THE HAIR! Beautiful though! !!!
Anesha Rhett Berry says
I’m glad the lady in the first video emphasized that she’ll only do this once every few months. That method looks like it’ll work only up to 4a hair. But, the lady in the second video had WAAAY too much heat applied. Dryer, blow-dryer, AND flat-iron? Tooo damaging. That’s the kinda of hair I hair, and I wouldn’t ever risk putting that much heat in it!
Jamillah Davis says
I have EXTREMELY coarse, 4C hair and I did a blow out 1 time and it got mine bone straight. Now, there was a lot of heat used in the process which is why I won’t do it again, but that methods of straightening works on coarser hair textures too.
Anesha Rhett Berry says
Thanks for sharing that! I’ve never tried it, but it always looked like it wouldn’t work on our kind of hair. Welp, you proved me wrong! lol 4C is tough to manage, but I love it!
Danette Semper says
No thanks the last time I had one my scalp was sensitive for days, it almost felt I had gotten a perm instead
LaToya C. says
Don’t do it!!!! My Dominican teacher told me that they sometimes mix relaxer n their shampoo!!
Still Standing says
Ok see that right there just scared me thats why I wash my own hair now then go to,them!!! But I had no problem with them doing mines!!! But you did say sometimes!! Cause another girl on this page said her hair was irritated for days
Brittani Michelle says
Now that is foul. smh
Anna Volmy says
Nice….
TaSheira Stenson-Cope says
I get mines blown out and yes it’s alot of heat but it does come out pretty and last a few weeks
Arie Pretty'Eyes SuperCake says
How else should I get my hair straight if perms , AND Dominican blowout arent good
Jamillah Davis says
Using a pressing comb or getting a silk press.
Andrea Simpson-Jones says
Design Essentials has a product that is sort of like a keratin treatment called the Strengthening Therapy System. It has no formaldehyde and no sodium or calcium hydroxide. It imparts amino acids and protein into the hair in a mousse for then when the hair is flat-ironed, it resists reversion. The good thing about this is, you don’t have to make a commitment to straight hair like you do with a relaxer because all you have to do is shampoo your hair to get your natural curls and texture back. Generally, it lasts for 12 weeks, depending on how often you shampoo your hair. It leaves your flat-ironed hair shiny and silky. This system is only available to salons who carry Design Essentials products.
MsNekeira Batchelor says
Nooo oooooooo stay away from that much heat at one time…..tried it once had to cut ALL my hair off it broke and shedded every where.
Jameen Sheppard says
Love the sarcasm….
Uh duh, yeah , i know it shrinks and gets longer when straightened…thank you for clearing that up. But clearly all that hair isnt hers.
Jamillah Davis says
And clearly, you didn’t watch the video which shows that it is all her hair.
Amelia White says
Cough cough, hater lmfao!
Satarra Thrower-Jones says
Jameen obviously you don’t know what added pieces look like because common sense would tell you her hair is gonna stretch after the straightening. You must not know much abt hair at all to not know what shrinkage is. Smh. My hair and my kids can coil up to my scalp if I wash it and let it air dry w/o brushing or combing it and my hair is past mid back length. That’s what HEALTHY hair does.
Gina Dubriel says
Is this what they do to your hair in Orlando? Watch the second video in this link Ana Rodriguez-Evans
Marla Robinson says
Good yr hair long
Shonda Diaz says
Yes hat who do mine no perm they do it right
Christy Nobles Somerville says
They use entirely too much heat for our hair…Well that’s my opinion..
Tameka Ferrebee says
I hate the blow dryer I’d rather let my hair air dry any day then press it out or twist it. It make my hair feel dead.
MrsRacquel Blackwell says
Nope that is her hair mines is just like that shrivaled to damn near scalp but my Dominican girl blows my hair out once a month my hair is long.
However if I wrap my hair and oil it long as I don’t get wet it stays an entire month.
week one and two bone straight and soft week 3 new growth is very visible still straight but they hair is heavier week 4 hair is heavier and roots very thick scalp itchy so its time to do it again. So its alot of heat that one time and my hair didn’t actually grow properly until I started going to her*.
Aliciajay Melvin says
im natural now andi like dominican blow outs . yesh its alot of heat but there proctection methods such as wraping it up at night heat protector n its not like u do it everday
Aliciajay Melvin says
and regular str8ner for my hair dont do shyt for me. my hair has grown scine going to them n ill continuenn i dont hav heat damage ty
Still Standing says
I told them it depends on a lot of factors!7
Aliciajay Melvin says
ok but everthing so negitive
Angel Missme Nelson says
Look at the video Katrina Brown I wanna try this on you!!
Jameen Sheppard says
Ok cool. Now lets talk about how good it is for the hair….
Katrina Brown says
Not trying 2 do any heat on my hair Angel Nelson
Semendablessed Howard says
Embracing my natural ! No heat!
MiSonia Moore says
How do y’all know that’s not all her hair? I’ve seen people with shrinkage up to about 75%. The hair looks shoulder length when it’s wet and hangs far below the middle of their back when it’s straighten, without extensions
Angel Missme Nelson says
Before u give a negative reaction… Read some of the positive comments above from people who actually getting it done Katrina Brown it’s not as bad as it looks
Latoya Mooney says
Is nice to me
Jazmine Wideman says
Looks nice …I love when I go to the Dominicans
Jamillah Davis says
I’m yet amazed at all of the Black women screaming, yelling and bashing people for not embracing their natural hair, yet they refuse to read information or watch the attached videos posted on this page. They’re so quick to comment on somebody wearing a weave, when all they had to do was watch a video to inform themselves! WE REALLY NEED TO DO BETTER!!!
Judy Clement says
I luv it! This would work 4 me
Donna Chesser says
Same it a relaxer I don’t care what they say to sell you a product. Why do you have tooo wear gloves when applying the product. It chemicals, a relaxer, just a different name, and an improvement, of a relaxer. Period
Katrina Brown says
I just don’t like heat on my hair everyone has different hair types I’m trying 2 grown my hair out without heat….Angel Nelson
Kenyatta Fox says
Pretty hair! Shrinkage is tricking you!
Angel Missme Nelson says
Well ima try iT… Katrina Brown you put heat on your head when u condition it with a plastic cap
Judy Clement says
I had mine down at Puerto rician shop. Same technology. Lasted long time. Shinney with bounce.
Chekesha LuvnNaturalhair Sydnor-Jones says
I watched the video. TOO MUCH HEAT!!!! The smoke was like a Forrest fire. She is a stunning beauty and yes no need to alter.
D'Ambe McLendon says
That is SO unhealthy for hair. I used to get them and it thinned out my edges.
LaTasha Hargrove says
No more blow outs for me. Everyone hair texture is different but I had to cut my hair down after a blow out.
Kharissa Allman says
Yup, I got a Dominican blow out once when I was relaxed and the heat was crazy smh. I def never will do it now that I’m natural
Sara TOni says
I get my hair blowed out all the time use grapes we’d oil and my hair reverts back everytime , ppl think they know it all just cuz you wouldn’t do it to your hair does not mean it’s wrong for other ppl , damn always bashing but if y’all posted a pic or video and ppl where bashing you’d prolly kill yourself ! Stop it !
Sara TOni says
Grapeseed *
Balinda Hayes says
Yessssss
Katrina Brown says
I’m saying flat irons I haven’t done the condition with the bag yet I don’t like sitting under dryers that’s y it take 3 days 4 my hair 2 dry..heat dry your hair out and with the kinda hair I have I need 2 keep all the moist I can good luck with that Angel Nelson
Alexis Benton says
WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE YOU MAKE IGNORANT COMMENTS.
Kim Baynes says
I wear my hair natural and can assure you that your hair can grow these lengths and look this pretty-you are just going to the wrong hairdresser
Jameen Sheppard says
Panties in a bunch….one comment ..and boom! Back draft…
Now im pathetic and bald headed (nowhere near it. And I have had a blowout before). I love it. Rage on… its time to blow (pun intended) this joint. Good day ladies.
Lianaa Lee says
Ignorant females always thinking no African Americans can grow long hair that’s horrible ,
Esther Simmons-Hawthorne says
Beautiful hair.
Atayia Shanice Menefee says
Jamillah Dixon lol
Vicky Shotzman says
I might be white but my hair is extremely coarse. In cosmetology school the instructors sent the girls to me for hair samples that were coarse. This is so funny. I have done my hair this way since 1975. Blow dry about half, roll up on large rollers, then under dryer. Works like magic. Now if I go to a salon, it takes them an hour, or longer, to blow my hair dry. Then it takes another hour to flat iron it. They fry my hair. How much does this Dominican blow out cost??
Olamide Jibowu says
What works for one person may not work for another ..people need to remember that..this page is here to help people who may need. Answers like this..everyones reason for going natural are not the same..so stop judging and if you have nothing positive or helpful to say then Do not post…i truly dislike when people try to bash other for how they choose to wear treat or grow their hair..like sheesh its on my head..let ne trial and error..at the end of the day its just hair ..not having any or having it short curly straight long permed natural..does not make u less smart beautiful or less of a woman. the dominican blow out works for her and she posted the video to try help others..we need to uplift more than we discourage…
Mojo says
thank you, couldn’t have said it better myself
Dana J Williams says
Everyone is different. Don’t mean if they are Dominicans n got a salon their good. For common sense sake if ur natural hair is long n u get it properly blown out, it will be long looking like fresh relaxed hair!! I’ve had mine done a few times loved no damage done
Semendablessed Howard says
Embrace natural, relaxed, blowout, braids, weave they all look nice when done right people like different options nothing wrong with that!
Vicky Shotzman says
By the way, my hair is almost to the bottom of my booty. It is hard for me to do it.,because of the length.
Colette Watson says
They work it my daughter goes to them in the Bronx from Queens no perm needed excellent work!!!
Carrie Laura-Lee Howe says
I love both! Her hair looks good before and after! Work it girlfriend 😉
Monica D. Willoughby says
I like the blowout, but I think she has really nice natural curls too 🙂
Candice Williams says
When I initially looked at the picture I thought it was a weave. However I watched the video and realized that’s all her hair. and according to her she does it every few months and experienced no damage. I love it. Love the versatility of being able to do that. Most importantly if she love it I Iove it.
Michele Luces says
I thought the same thing. Looks good!
LoLa Massey says
Watched the video…That”s ALL her hair and It’s Beautiful…Nicely done…!!
Dita Black says
Love dominican blowout they are the best
Jeffrey Spittell says
That is sexy!!
Janice Tamplin says
Had one a nd loved it
Cynthia Stevens says
They use too much heat and eventually you will lose hair. Speaking from experience.
Kimberly Casey says
Dont do it ladies!
Mary Frank says
Looks nice but no thank you.
Kimberly Casey says
Natural hair grows…its when u add chemicals that it gets stunted.
Brenda Geter Norman says
Yes!
Corrine Holliman Copeland says
Be careful who get 2 do yr hair bcz I had it done & certain parts of my hair won’t go bac 2 its natural state + pieces were burnt off !!!
Matou La Go D'Ivoire says

Omg that’s @sheridan owens !!!!!
Daijanay Edwards says
Btw that’s ALL HERS !!!!!!!
Deidre Lewis says
We have that all over New York. Just as popular as it was when it was introduced, ladies soon lost interest. Too hot, causes breakage, and scalp irritation. Its not for me. Now most Dominican salons want to do perms cause blowing natural hair takes too much time.
Kimberly Champion says
theres supposedly a really popular shop near me. maybe ill go for this for my birthday
Felicia BarsNone Woods says
Love the hair!!! #allHers
Nicky Moody says
Wow
Temika Jatta says
Very pretty
Louise Chambers says
Now ladies remember that the back hair is longer than the front so this could be all her hair……lol
Briana Washington says
See this kind of blow out Jessie Lee

Renee Barron says
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/brazilian-blowout-consumer-alert-formaldehyde-danger-15824476
Andrea Simpson-Jones says
The Brazilian Blowout is totally different from the Dominican Blowout because the Brazilian blowout is a type of PRODUCT, like a keratin smoothing treatment while the Dominican blowout is a TECHNIQUE that uses no chemicals to alter the natural texture or curl pattern.
Cande Nelson says
visible changes was a beast teaching this technique back in the day -the roller set.. when i had the passion for doing hair… unfortunately i dont have that passion anymore…. but her hair is beautiful… think i will try this on my daughter
tee766 says
it can be damaging if done wrong…have i do booth methods ….. deep conditioner set under dryer with hair wrapped. then blow out with my own heat protector been doing it for years…no damage ….totally natural… so it all who you allow in your hair…since moving to atl have not found one I like yet and two the prices here are crazy..in PA a deep condition…and blowout into a duby $25-40….Here i been charged 60-1000 crazy..good luck…found a place that listens and protects your hair. if done right and hair is trained you only need it once a month…thats why it should not be damage.
tee766 says
meant 100
Toy Jaynell says
I seen this video before.i think her hair texture didn’t need all that heat to get it straight.she has pretty hair
Jamillah Davis says
I was thinking the same thing. A blow dryer or possibly just a good flat iron would’ve done the same thing.
NaNa Zee says
I saw the video n now I believe its herd. My sis hair is like that . So thick at the roots
Ashlee Aimee Mckeiver says
Hey hair is beautiful!!! And its all her’s too…smh!!!
Rosalyn Barney says
Her hair looks very pretty but mine can’t take the heat.
Katrina Killian says
Its funny how they take somethin and change the name… my grandmother used to do.this
Tina ClarksvilleNashville Hunt says
It’s a basic blow dry and flat iron. They do use a lot of heat. Usually ppl who get this have natural, beautiful hair.
Amesha S. Johnson says
Can Dominican or Brazilian Blowouts be achieved on hair that isnt heat trained??
Evaughn Person says
Wow, I would try that at least once a year!
Rosemary Echols says
I had my hair done like this in 2012, when I was in Winchester, VA. Since coming home, Huntsville, AL, I have tried several Dominican hair stylist, even drove 2 hours to Franklin, TN and they did not do this and I was not satisfied. If anyone know of a good Dominican hair stylist, please let me know. This technique give your hair so much body and help your hair to grow. Please let me know where I can go. I am willing to drive to Memphis if I have to.
Raquel K Matthews says
Have been going to Dominican salon for years.
Michelle Reed says
Dominican hair dressers in NY do this all the time! Nothing special for them!
Yvescent Conner says
That’s weave
Jamie Campbell says
Work!!
Jeanette Robinson says
She reminds me of Queen Latifah a little….
Mojo says
you know what, i can see it!
Frankye Campbell says
Very Good Information!!!
Dawn Davis says
The video of this lady getting her natural hair done and showing the Brazilian Blowout process on her hair is a great “how to”. It is not a weave (watch the video)! Her hair looks healthy and great!
Geri Jimenez says
That’s what’s up!
Jaynia Samaroo says
Brazillians do hair like this too. My stylist always wanted me to wait til 2 months at least before doing another relaxer (so plenty new growth). At first I was perturbed by all that heat but while I was living in Rio, that was the healthiest my relaxed hair had ever been. She knew how to take good care of even fully natural hair.
MissGreen ToYu says
Nice. I wonder how long her blow out last? Mines start messing up in a matter of hours. #wastedmoney #readyforaperm
Deborah Lewis says
Woe where is at ?
Cassie Coston says
I might try this next did it years ago in Tampa, it gives your hair so much body!! So to my stylist I just want to see how it will work for a split second
Andrea Coneal says
no thanks I will take natural any day
TorrieLisa Jacobs says
I like the roller wrap for no heat straightening
Denise Ricketts says
Something dont add up….
Tosha Alston-Barnett says
Everyone I know who had this done hair fell out… Because its a chemical process. If you want straight hair all you need is a good flatiron and heat protector…
Arie Pretty'Eyes SuperCake says
Thanks
Iris Brock says
The finished results look very, very pretty. There’s no way in heck I’d do that with my hair. I know my hair would’nt be able to take all that heat.
Mojo says
I agree, my hair for sure can’t hang with this. I have thick hair but fine strands…too fragile, I haven’t straightened my hair in almost 3 years…it is tempting tho lol
Katrina Stoutmire says
The Egyptians can achieve this easily……Ive seen so 😉
Willess Smith says
Title says blow out technique not length check so wht dif does it make… Natural state to blown out state period….. and clearly her hair is pretty lengthy regardless
Sun Ray says
I must try this.
Jessie Medeiros says
Whats the diff between this and a Brazilian?
Emidio Vagnarelli says
wery beatiful hair
Jasmine Alexander says
She needed that
Kelly Hall says
No, she did not need to have her hair straightened. You need to free your mind n drop them slave shackles.
Jamillah Davis says
I’m sure you’ve had your hair straight b4, when it was straight, did u have on “slave shackles”?
Mojo says
Are you kidding me?! what is up with these haters these days…the devil is sure working overtime…watch out everyone and lets pray for them…..unbelievable! is it safe to continue reading smh…Lord help us all Amen.
Torya Ross says
Kelly I agree and understand what you are saying. She didn’t need anything. A lot Black women have the mindset that straight is better. That’s what has been told to is for centuries that who we are is not good enough. I like straight hair just as well as my natural. I would not down play a person by saying what she needs. Some people are small minded so they do not think they just react. Ignorance will always be present
Shamira Naturalbeauty Pitts says
Not in orlando lol Deborah Lewis
Nelly Alier says
Beautiful lady, she looks great with both her natural and straight hair.. It just kills me how they branded the style calling it dominican when puertorricans and brazilians had been doing it for years!!!
Selby Lackey says
I Don’t go to the Dominicans anymore they use too much heat. I had to do the chop after going to them lost my natural S wave pattern in my hair
Selby Lackey says
She looks great but I’d be careful with the excess heat they use to straighten your hair, for me it was too much
Nicole Blue says
Nice but scary that washing of the hair was a joke .
Andrea Angie Tater says
Curly or straight is a matter of CHOICE: how do YOU FEEL about yourself is priority. My sistahs stop hating and start complimenting each other.
Tanya Martin says
Wonderfully Gorgeous Hair!!!
Natasha Orr says
Haters are going to hate! Her hair is pretty and long.
Elisha Webb-Young says
Love it! Used to go to a Dominican shop all the time in Washington,DC…there are none in MS;( **it is a process but it’s worth the wait!!

I think the karmin g3 io0nic blow dryer is a great option for those girls who want to blow out their hair in less than 20 minutes!
Nicole Perez says
Before you all start saying there are pieces added, go watch the dang video. You can see the entire process, and it is indeed this beautiful woman’s own hair. All of it. But, like they say, haters gonna hate.
Valerie Price says
If you want to reserve your curl pattern, Be careful with who blow drys your precious tendrils. 1 <3

Deena Jones says
If you have thick, course, porous hair, stay out of Dominican salons all together. They use inferior perm and conditioning products; the products they use are mixed out of your sight so you are clueless as to what is being applied to your hair; the blowout will damage your hair and scalp.
Robyn says
Blow outs are what I have known my entire life. It’s the primary manner of straightening one’s hair in my neck of the woods and I’ve always felt that my hair is more swanging after a blow out than it was after using a flat iron. Yes, it is a lot of heat, but if one is on a hair journey, then you know how to protect your hair against the heat damage. I think it’s awesome.
Guirlaine Jean says
Make sure they are specialized in doing natural hair. I went to a Dominican salon and I got serious heat damage, so bad that I had to bc and start all over, 3 years of healthy hair growth
Donna Chesser says
I saw the video and wow. They didn’t e even use a flat iron. Beauutful
Ssylvia Severinozarabonzo says
I always blow out like That no flat iron y yo tabien soy dominicana
Janice T. Johnson says
If you have a loose curl Yes. If not, you run the risk of heat damage to the 4a, b, c hair. That was a lot of heat on the second video. Roller, then bd, then some more bd, and lastly flat iron. No thanks. I love the Dominican shop, but not for a natural.
Maribel Peguero says
For those of u the don’t get it…..
Sherie Re-Re Richardson says
I did it a lot of heat damage
Shayla K. Samuel says
The amount of heat used made me cringe. This doesn’t work for my hair. Looks nice for a few hours then my hair frizzes. Never got that straight either. I’ll stick with my natural hair stylists and their flat ironing.
Cori Wilson says
At the Dominican salon they did an excellent job on my hair! No heat damage and my hair was straighter than when I was using a perm.
Brittany Rizzo Zeiler says
I work at a Dominican shop in Pittsburgh pa and I love it! I wish more people knew about it. If any one has any questions please feel free to ask.
Boquisha Jenkins says
BEWARE: This causes cancer , those who wanna try need to Research this
Darleni Philip says
Where I can find a Dominican salon in Singapore?
Megen Simon says
I’m sorry but how do u find if ur a 4a, b or c. Been natural since 2012 and still don’t know my type
Shayla Hicks says
http://www.curls.biz/curly-hair-type-guide.html …. hope this helps! 🙂
Kelly White says
That’s too much heat
Brittany Rizzo Zeiler says
Boquisha Jenkins this does in no way cause cancer. A brazilian blowout can cause cancer because it’s a karitin treatment. But now most shops stop using karitin with formaldehyde in it. And that was the cancer causing chemical. And it was more cancer causing for the stylist then the clients.
Megen Simon says
Thank you @Shayla Hicks
Nicole Taborn says
I love love love getting Dominican blowouts. My hair always looks fabulous. Looking for a salon in Illinois
Angela Hampton says
It’s gorgeous and all natural. I want to grow my natural hair out.
Natasha Eb says
They charge more in jersey for natural hair/no perm, so stupid. When I take her in NY they don’t do that nonsense
Sandy Lou says
I heard stories that they sometimes put relaxer in the conditionner before blow drying at dominicans hair salon.
Patricia Rosado says
That happened to me, my hair is natural curl, and a hairdresser put relaxer in the conditioner without me realizing, all my hair fell ????
Patricia Rosado says
My hair has never been the same.
Jasmine Williamson says
My aunt went to get her hair dyed at a domican salon and when she unwrapped her hair the next day her scalp was black, not the roots, her actual scalp. Decided to never go there again. I know that all salon workers do it but it’s scary to take the chance
Jasmine Williamson says
Patricia Rosado I hope you pressed charges.
Bridgett Burt-Coleman says
Results are nice but long term it’s too much heat!! Thins your hair out
Joycine Blair says
They use too much heat
Jacci Moore says
Love it,both ways
Rieka Rain Tree says
Unless it stays straight when wet, I would just get a press and curl.
Monica Thornton-Anderson says
I hear all that heat makes your hair very weak
Mo Love says
They burn the hair out.
