Best Dominican Salons Around the U.S.

Good Afternoon,

If you have read my last three posts on how to do a Dominican blow out and you felt a bit overwhelmed by all the steps don’t worry. I realize not everyone is willing to do all that to their hair. However, even if you don’t want to do a Dominican blow out yourself, you still may want to get that look. In light of that, I have complied a list of Dominican Salons around the country. But these are not just any Dominican salons. These are salons that have been rated and reviewed as the best by their clients.

These are all salons that were given 4 stars or above by their customer. If you go to a salon then you naturally only want to go to the best and I did see some dodgy salons that were not rated very highly. I have not visited these salons myself so I can’t recommend them personally but many others have.

I have separated them by region. If I didn’t include your region it is probably because I could not find a Dominican salon in your region rated very highly or find one at all. So without further ado, I present to you…

Three Excellent Tips on How to do a Braid Out on Natural Hair

We all have aspirations, goals we would like to achieve. There are certainly things you want to undertake or to possess or quite possibly be. A number of people wish to do a braid out on natural hair. Maybe you would as well. As with anything else, that's not really hard when you know the right way to. When you can get upon the right track, break it down into easy steps, this can be quite easy to do a braid out on natural hair. Should that be one of your aspirations, please read on to learn a straightforward way you could possibly do a braid out on natural hair in exactly three steps...

The initial essential step is wash and condition your hair. This is vitally important because you want to make sure your hair is clean, moisturized and wet. While you carry out this 1st step, you need to avoid de-tangle your hair in the shower under the running water so that your hair will be very easy to comb through once you get out..

It would be important to achieve this 1st step completely and correctly. Failing to accomplish this properly could mean so you won't have any hair breakage or loss while you are braiding your hair later on in the process..

Next, the second step will be after your hair is clean and moisturized is to part your hair into 4 sections.. There are two main things that you'll want to circumvent here. These are not using a wide toothed comb when you are parting your hair so that you don't lose a lot of hair due to breakage and not using cremes and or leave in conditioners on your hair to make the entire process easier.

Your third and last step is start braiding smaller sections of your hair within each of the smaller sections. The 4 big sections that you parted your hair into is a nice way to keep the procedure organized and your hair from getting knotted again.. This is really important because as you go through each section you will know exactly how far you've come and how much left you've got to braid.. What is essential to make sure you avoid here is allowing your hair to get too dry. While your hair does not have to be dripping wet as it should be for a rollerset, it is best to keep your hair wet so you can get the waves you desire. Also keep in mind that the tighter you braid your hair, the more defined your waves will be and the looser your braid your hair the fewer waves your hair will have.

All that you should do is generally to stick closely to the three steps recommended here. Whenever you do, you should be able to do a braid out on natural hair easily and without problems. Following these recommendations has worked with success for numerous others before you; it will work for you too! Simply do the things recommended that you do, and carefully steer clear of the possible stumbling blocks described above. Then all that is left for you to do is to experience the benefits of having beautiful beachy waves that are going to accrue to you with regards to your success!

Black women, Hollywood is just not that into you.

It’s unclear when my epiphany came that Hollywood not only is not into to black women but actually hates them. Yes, this is a play on words, stolen from the hit book and surely to become hit movie He’s Just Not That Into You. If you have not heard of the hoopla around this catch phrase then you should look it up as it is a helpful book for women. However, relationships between men and women are not the focus of this article. As, in my other article, I have stressed the fact that black women get the short end of the stick when it comes to the entertainment and fashion industry. However, sometimes just how short that stick is has been underestimated.

It has become clear as day that Hollywood is truly not into black women. In every sense of the word, this is true. Look at the trailer for this movie He’s Just Not That Into You and really pay attention to it. The entire starring cast is white. However, just in case some people of color might feel left out there are gay men of color and in the trailer there are two overweight black women who appear out of nowhere just to say “Girl, you better get yourself some ribs and some ice cream because you’ve been dumped!”. It is hard to really explain all the ways in which this 20 second clip is offensive to women of color. All of the women in the cast are thin, supposedly beautiful white women who are looking for romance and are obviously sought over even if the guys in the movie don’t always treat them as well as they should. What purpose did it serve to show these two random black women in this manner? Why did they have to mention ribs, which is stereotypically associated with black people. Why were they overweight in a cast full of thin white women? Why were they sassy and brazen when the other women are shown to be ladylike and feminine?

These women were seemingly thrown into the mix with, judging by the trailer, no connection to anyone or anything. Why have them in there are at all? What is Hollywood’s obsession with juxtapositioning stereotypical black women next to stereotypical white women? When most of the stereotypes associated with black women are negative and most of the stereotypes associated with white women are positive, then it is not hard to figure out who will come out smelling like roses and who will come out smelling like…well you fill in the blank.

Black women in Hollywood are the butt of jokes especially larger black women. They are there to provide comedic effect and to act as a shelter in the times of need for their white female friends. They do not get asked out let alone get the guy in the end. Let’s go back to the quote. The black women say that this character has been dumped and the way it is said is that they know all about this position because they are in a perpetual state of loneliness. Because they are such experts on loneliness, they seek to give that white female some advice. She should just resign herself to a plate of ribs and ice cream like they have.

Hollywood is very smart. Most people have been so ingrained with these stereotypes that they don’t even notice things like this. It has become normal and they have become desensitized to it. Black women you can not and should not allow yourself to become complacent in these matters. How these Hollywood directors and producers portray you affects your everyday life. Perhaps it seems inconsequential to show black women like this but that is not true. Do these images of black women increase or decrease the self-esteem of young black girls? Does it make them feel better or worse about themselves to see women who look like them being treated so callously and insignificantly? Black women must stop acting like these things don’t matter because it does and if it doesn’t bother you it might bother someone you love. We must speak out against these stereotypes not just amongst each other but also let the powers that be know that we have our eye on them and we are not happy with what we are seeing.



When our money collectively starts to stay in our purses and the movie and tv executives are told why, perhaps they will start to listen. Money is the only thing these people care about. If we stop making it profitable to make jokes at our expense then maybe they will finally take notice and start giving us roles that are more diverse. Why not cast a black women as a damsel in distress, a princess, a woman who is sought after, one who is not angry. Here (movies@newline.com) is the email to contact New Line Cinemas which is the movie studio promoting He’s Just Not That Into You . Let them know how you feel. I will do the same. Don’t just tell them why you won’t see this movie but what kind of movie you would support and spend your money on. If we speak up together we can really change our negative image. It is the only way.

Black Women Can Change Their Image By Changing Their Spending Habits

The time is now. The movement for black women to make themselves known in the fashion and entertainment industry has begun. Black women simply must stop supporting people in these industries that don’t support them. They have so much buying power and they do not weld it with as much finesse as they should. They buy clothes made from designers who will not use black models and read about these designers in magazines that will not put them on the cover. Black women support movies and TV shows that will not give black actresses a supporting let alone starring role. The music they buy does not seek to uplift and inspire them but degrades and demeans them. They simply must come to terms with the fact that many of those in power are simply not interested in representing them so those in power need to accept that black women are not interested in supporting them financially. Collectively, we can make a difference. A huge difference.

Money talks and it’s about the only thing that will make the powers that be listen to black women’s collective voice. What would happen if black women started taking their millions and even billions of dollars in disposable income and started spending it in different ways? Black women could take that money and just not spend it at all, having a complete boycott of these products and services. This, however, would probably not make the best impact although it would be significant. Nor is it practical to do this. They could take their money and start being selective in where they spend it. Instead of just taking their money out of these industries all together, they could find out who does include black models in their ads and runway shows and buy specifically from them and let it be known that they are buying from them for that reason (in addition to liking the clothes, of course). Black women could let the advertisers of certain shows know that they will not buy their products because they do not have any female minorities on the shows they are advertising with. Record producers and companies need to know that black women are not buying certain kinds of music, whatever the form is, if it is demeaning to women. These companies not only need to know when they are not being supported but also when they are.

Although putting these plans into action would be powerful, perhaps the most powerful of all would be taking that money and doing two things: 1) Creating opportunities for black women to write their own films, produce their own TV shows and music and own their own fashion houses and 2) financially supporting the black women who are already doing these things. This would make such a difference in the image of black women in the media and society. This could only serve to help black women personally with relationships and their careers. If more and more positive images of black women are being put out into the universe then the positive energy will come back to black women tenfold.

Keep in mind that this plan is not an overnight plan but one that can be implemented if the word is put out to other black women who are also concerned with either the lack of images of themselves or the negative images that are already out there of black women. Anything is possible if we truly believe in the power of positive thinking. Once the money trial is followed, black women can really start to take action and make significant changes in their image.
