Buyer beware!!! More specifically, NATURAL ladies beware!!! This is my honest review of a one-time service with Crystal Coleman at Anointed Hands Hair Studio in Fredericksburg, VA. I went to Crystal for the first time back in AUGUST to get my hair straightened - she referred to the service as a "silk-out". Please note that I have natural hair - very thick, coarse 4C textured hair. I have been natural since 2008. Upon arriving, Crystal shampooed and conditioned my hair, then put me under the dryer (she put a conditioner or some sort of cream on my hair). She says that she used all natural products on my hair, by the way. After being under the dryer for maybe 30 minutes, she then proceeded to trim and straighten my hair using a flat iron. Everything so far seemed normal and seemed to be going well. Once my hair was straightened and trimmed, Crystal styled my hair, and I was out the door looking good! I received many compliments on how nice and straight it was - even that it looked as if I was wearing a wig! I got my hair done in the beginning of August. We are now at the end of November, and my hair is STILL STRAIGHT!!! I have shampooed and conditioned it countless times and even done a protein treatment since my hair appointment in AUGUST - simply to no avail. It looks to me as if I received a texturizer. My hair does not curl up, kink up, coil up, nothing. I can't wear a fro or puff or wear any two-strand twists or twist-outs now. My hair is now limp and lifeless. Beware!
