You Will Not Believe This Hair Salon Nightmare! | Natural Hair | Life in Korea | #25

- čas přidán 4. 09. 2024
- So I went to a hair salon for the first time in 3 years only to realise by the end of the day that my hair wasn’t detangled which was what I went there for in the first place. I found myself disappointed and frustrated because I paid for a service ($30) that wasn't completed and I left the shop and was told it was done. I also paid $20 extra so $50 total for the oil treatment which I feel she was just trying to add on extra things to get more money out of me. After telling her that I came home to matted hair she refunded the $20 for the treatment because but that was all. Natural hair in Korea is not that difficult to care for if you do your hair yourself but if you go to a salon you will most likely find your hair getting pulled, tugged and ripped. Most Black/African Hair shops don’t understand the care natural hair needs. I’m warning you so you don’t have to go through it yourself! This is my own personal experience.

Hi Charly!!
My daughter and I were watching your video and she SCREAMED when she saw that you were watching her. Thank you so much for all the wonderful things you said, We are learning more about Korea from you!! Thanks for the adventure.
DiscoveringNatural Aww yay! Tell her I said hi and she's doing a great job and her natural hair is beautiful!
Awww, Charly. Even when you're disappointed, you're still smiling.
Giiiiiiirrrrrrrllllll ain't nobody going all the way to Korea to get their hair done by that lady anyway...
I remember her. She should learn how to do natural hair, it will help her business, instead of feeling down and sad that black women are finally embracing their natural hair,something our ancestors never got to do. So, glad going natural is becoming big.
***** Yeah I told her she should learn how to do natural hair so that she can cater to the demand.
charlycheer
It would definitely help her out a lot.
Oh man, that looked like a hellish experience. I wouldn't trust most people with my natural hair because I know there aren't many that are used to it and mine isn't even that long. Sorry you had a bad experience Charly :( Hope it's all detangled now.
OMG! I love your videos! I like to watch vloggers & happened upon your videos in the suggestion box.
I thought you were so beautiful. I just had to watch. I'm glad I did. I love your accent.
devilangel777 Awwh thanks for watching :D
That's why i do my hair myself. I will only go to a salon that caters to natural hair and know what they are doing. It's sad to say that, while other races can look at their hair as just hair and not an important part of their culture, black/African's ppl hair, is a HUGE part of our culture. Part of our culture that we were made to forget, so brainwashed to the point that we don't know how to care for it and didn't know that it was a big part of our culture. So, sad that many black/African women, didn't/don't know how to truly care for their natural hair, whether they have been natural their whole lives (which is a minority), or have had relaxers most of their life. I'm so glad that is changing with the natural hair movement. Even u have changed in how u care for your natural hair as well Charly, from your past videos, til now. PS: I've also seen that video little girl do her natural hair, it's lovely isn't it? (^-^)
Exactly and from now on I wouldn't trust a stylist that wears a Justin Bieber wig on who probably has no hair or edges underneath. Your own hair should be an expression of your work/craft. It doesn't have to be long but look healthy and look as if you put time and effort in your hair as opposed to slapping a wig on. And yes I've seen that video before of the lil girl doing her hair. She is really talented because she has loads of thick, strong and long hair! It was cute! But I totally agree our hair is our pride and heritage.
Sonta Lovely
Lol i don't mind if u wear a wig or weave, as long as u know what u are doing with my head, than it's all good. But i'm glad more and more black women are wearing weaves that at least resemble our hair texture...well at least on youtube they are lol
Sonta Lovely I agree. The hairdresser seems like a sweet lady but I would not have trusted her with my natural hair after seeing her with that wig on. If it at least mimicked our natural hair or at the very least installed well I wouldn't care so much but if she cannot do her own hair well, what makes you think she can do your hair well? Like you said, her hair should be an expression of her craft.
Here in France we have an old tradition that says that if you want your hair growing faster you cut them at the full moon and if you want them to grow slower you cur them at the waning moon or dark moon. :)
She did an unsatisfactory job with your hair. I am glad for your honesty. Your hair is gorgeous and deserves better treatment.
You seem like the most upbeat, kind spirited person I have seen on youtube. This video was awesome! Subscribed right away!
African hair shops can be a bit sly at times...
I'm a stylist who has natural hair and specializes in natural hair care! I actually became a stylist because I feel that we (naturals) should be able to go into a salon with confidence that we are in good hands. I've been a DIY natural for so many years and sometimes it's nice to sit back and let someone else mess with my hair for a change. Sadly, I'm the only natural hair stylist in my area! Lol. I still gotta do it myself.
Anyway, she should really learn how to care for natural hair. Not just to help her business, but to help her grow as a stylist.
Aw Annie is so sweet, more videos with her please! I wish i had your spirit, i would be angry as heck! especially since your hair has always been so healthy and long. I hope you could fix it :)
You look great with your natural hair opposed to your weave days! It's so much work to keep your natural hair but it's so worth it.
If you want to avoid it getting matted then you're going to have to detangle it regularly. Pretty much everyday. I would suggest warming water on the stove or in the oven and putting it in a spray bottom and soaking your hair section by section. Add conditioner too. (You could put the conditioner in the spray bottle). Put a towel around your neck and the floor if you're worried about getting water all over the place (Or do it in the tub). Twist or braid each section AS SOON AS you detangle it. Otherwise you run the risk of it getting tangled again. Then keep it in those braids or twists until you think you'll feel like detangling again. I definitely wouldn't suggest paying someone. You should learn to do it yourself, for your own benefit. It should be routine. And I can tell she was wearing a wig or weave so I question whether she's anymore familiar or concerned with the proper way to care for natural hair than you are.
Heygeli19 I just detangled and washed it 3 days ago :) Detangling once a week at the moment..I just need to be consistent. Thanks for the advice!
charlycheer Oh yeah once a week is a good start. I think half of it has to do with how often you detangle it and the other half has to do with the styles you wear in between. Also trimming the ends. My hair is less likely to get tangled when I don't have split ends...even though I'm not good about getting them cut regularly. Btw I enjoyed your video. You have such a cute personality!
Hey there Charly :) excuse me for sounding judgmental but as soon as I saw that African woman with that Mary J. Blige wig on I knew this wasn't going to end well. I'm sure she's the bomb at doing straight hair or installing a wig/weave and maybe she should just stick to doing that and not have scalped you out of your money for doing nothing to your hair. Personally I have not been to a salon since my big chop 3 years ago because I know not many salons do natural hair professionally. I hope you were able to de-mat your hair with not much breakage.
I had a bad matting episode myself when I first started and I was able to de-mat by soaking it in EVCO and a good deep conditioner (Nature's Gate), let it sit under a plastic cap. Bought a deshedding tool from the pet section then got to work! I still had a full head of hair afterwards. Even after that I STILL don't go to the salon lol. I take better care of it now. I hope yours came back to life. Love your vids! Take care
The struggle was real in this video!!! Your hair still looks cute though! Don't worry?
Skip to about 9:00 if you want to get to what the video title actually says.
Then skip to 14:37
+ocky88 haha ikr
I am very sorry about what happened to you. I must say I would NOT have trusted a hairstylist whose hair I cannot see under her perfectly styled NOT-hair.
Thank you for sharing your expat adventures :-)
Best detangling trick is to do it regularly using coconut oil and a little bit of conditioner. Don't go back to her. I hope you didn't pay much. Good luck!
frenchiedee I paid $30 for detangling and wash and she charged me $20 extra for the oil/steam treatment but then once I told her about my results she refunded the $20 which I feel she was just trying to get more money out of me for in the first place.
That's too bad. She should have just told you she didn't know how to do it.
Hope you managed to detangle yourself without too much trouble.
Everyone swears buy coconut oil. I wish my hair liked it. The only thing my hair likes is Jojoba oil and that's way pricer than coconut oil :(.
iJam24 Yeah my hair likes Jojoba oil and Olive oil. Definitely try extra virgin olive oil if you haven't already. It's much cheaper. I find that Coconut oil makes my hair more dry.
omg, my comment was in the video! That makes me so happy! (No pressure at all)
It's just nice to be acknowledged
Love your videos. You're such a great person inside and out !
I wear my hair natural too but I finger detangle my hair or moisturize and oil the hair and ends gently combing it section by section twisting my hair into small braids every night using shea oil to unroll it in the morning.
Keep your hair moisturized and oiled and it won't tangle as much.
And wrap it up at night in a silk scarf this keeps it from drying out and becoming frizzy or tangled.
And your hair is thick and lovely.
seanviv2 I do something similar as well. it's awesome u take so much time and care for ur hair
I'm also natural (and have been vegan for 5 years :D) but I just started at the end of last year to stop combing my hair because it rips out my edges prematurely, making it seem as though my hair never grows. now I just detangle with my fingers and I'm seeing some major growth! Your hair is already long and beautiful, keep it grow'in! :-)
I'm thinking about finger detangling, and putting down my comb and paddle brush, any helpful tips?
All you have to do is stop using them, thats all I did and life feels so much easier now! Keep me updated on how it goes!
MischievousAngel7
Sometimes i feel like my hair isn't detangled good if i dont use a comb or paddle brush. I hope it goes well for me too. I'll keep u updated for sure : )
***** I agree! I usually finger detangle but every now and then I bust out my seamless comb (I can't use normal combs, they rip out my hair) and it makes a huge difference.I think I'm going to commit to at least combing out my hair once a month.
Thats awesome! I'm so glad that there are more (no comb) people out there! I wish you all the best!
I am in looove with your personality girl. you seem so genuinely nice& upbeat
That note annie left you was super sweet! I'm sorry about what happen to your hair, I honestly have no idea how I would fix that. Good luck!
Ugh I love your hair it's so beautiful! I remember that vid of yours when you went to her to install the weave. I'm glad that in time you like being authentic to who you really are and that Korea hasn't made you succumb to their beauty standards. Yes don't go to her again, just do your hair from here on forward. Can you tell me how you managed to retain all that length? I think it's your diet and you let your hair do whatever it wants! I'm too scissor happy lol.
Thank you girl!! Great info! I met Marie in the fall. She is nice. Natural hair is difficult and different for hair stylist I think. Thank you girl!
New subbie here. I always enjoy your videos. It's always interesting and educational. Your hair was really matted sorry to see that.
Sorry about your experience...I have grown up with a hair salon phobia because my late mom never allowed people to touch or handle our hair as children. She would hire trusted plait-women or let the maid and sometimes my late grandma to do it...She even took a hairdo class so she could do it herself. Even when I was on my own and had a perm, I was always scared to get my hair done at a salon because of that facet of my upbringing. To this day, I just can't muster the courage to get my hair done by others, and now that I am natural, it's gotten worse, I just wouldn't trust anyone with my hair.
MSE. Dzirasa Well when I have a kid I will do the same as your mother but practice on my kids head, and most salon people are bad. They hold no license and they think relaxers are the key to everything, they dont know how to manage their own hair.
I'd say its best to wash and detangle your hair at home so when you get to the salon they wont rip your hair out or sneak relaxers in the conditioner,
when using heat have them put some on or you can put it on at home.
their yanking your hair still? tell them.
they are using too many passes tell them to stop.
have a design book before you go in, your definition of style or color may not be their definition.
When your hair gets long be wary because like many other women on youtube they will mistreat it because of jealousy.
etc... I cant remember more now.
crazymusicgrl You nailed it...It is rather a pity that people just wouldn't speak up when they go to hair salons...They become timid...the best way is to learn how to do your hair at home and also have the design book before a visit or else you may go home with half your hair, or with a different texture. smh
Girl!!! Bust out your conditioner, it REALLY works! When I was transitioning I washed my hair in the sink and ended up with a bunch of mats in the top front of my hair and freaked out because it was much more than i wanted to have to cut (matted from root to ends) but I tried slathering on conditioner to detangle those parts and luckily it seriously worked and very easily!
Charly, get you some of those rubber gloves that doctors use and a good moisturizing conditioner with slip to detangle your hair. The gloves help your fingers glide through your hair. Try it, let me know what you think.
Love love love your vlogs Charly. I look forward to them every week :-) xx
I learn so much from you! Love this channel
you need a leave in conditioner with lots of slip & sweet almond oil makes it really soft too
You are so unique... I really enjoy your personality, and the way that you gush over your girlfriend is so adorable. I'm definitely subscribing!😄
Oh dear, sorry you had to go through that. When going to the salon you need to state what you need and bring your products. Now, I went through that over and over. My hubby really didn't want me to pay the two last time because, I never come out with what I want... TO DO NATURAL BLACK HAIR YOU NEED TO LOVE THEM AND BE PATIENT. That is what it is. Love you all. You definitely do a better job.:-)))
it seems...you took that so well. I would have cried in the chair lol
Charly!!!! I miss you sooo much. Ive been a fan since your first yt videos. Oh how ive missed you and your smile :D ughhh so disappointed in myself I haven't seen your videos in a long time.
***** Welcome back!
run your hand under cold water for abt a minute or two immediately after you burn it, it will save you that terrible pain and discoloured skin that happens for a few days after you get burnt. if you're near snow, put it in the snow
Exactly, that is why no one touches my hair. I'm almost a year natural and have finally found a great detangler, if you're looking for a detangler, try SHEA MOISTURE CURL AND STYLE MILK. I used it and was like WOW THAT WAS EASY!
Veggies!!! Ok I admit I haven't watched the vlog yet, but come on, I already know it's going to be awesome hahaha. You're wonderful, Charly :)
Hey Charlyyyyy👋🏾👋🏾!!! Haha I've been away for a while😅, but I'm a huge fan of your videos😍, but HOLY crap your hair grew SOOO much😳😄😁😃!! It looks beautiful😍😍😍😍!!! Luh Ya girl😘💜💟💓💜💓💟!!!
In all honesty, you ought to do more modeling for natural hair for black women in the US. Your hair is beautiful and I've notice your varied style.
Had a similiar experience.. the person who did my natural hair was too rough and my hair was snap, crack, and popping all over the place. That's when I decided I would continue to do my own hair and if I do get it styled by someone else, I would do the prep work myself.
I'm late watching this, but I'm surprised Charley never locked her hair. With her hectic schedule, caring for long, loose natural hair seemed cumbersome. Not to mention the humidity in Korea would be tough to deal with. Flash forward to 2017, she eventually cut her hair short, but I would be interested to see if she'll ever loc.
honestly... I ONLY trust myself when it comes to my natural hair. It's so hard to trust random people in my crown lol btw, you two are ADORABLE!
I was going to try a salon to do my retwist for my vacation , but you reminded me, that I can do it my self, thanks
The moment you asked her if business was dipping from people going natural that was a red flag. I'm natural and I live in the US and i even find it heard to find a salon that can do natural hair, so I only go to a hair salon unless I want it trimmed or blown out and I'll noticed even some black women don't know how to treat and handle natural hair.
P.s. I never realized how long her hair was before.
Aloe Vera gel (100% natural or closer to it) mix with little oil (u use castle oil) is a great detangler when your hair is tangled especially when intertwined, matted, & notting!!!!
Awww to that message. It was sad that you had a bad hair experience. I myself have never properly cared for my hair and that is why my hair is so thin so I love you're thick and curly hair my cousin have hair like that, but blonde and she colors them and have tried a lot of things with her hair that I do not like at all, because I think her natural hair are the prettiest on her. I myself usually just use a shampoo that I currently love and I've been told that using different shampoos for you're hair all the time is bad. But I am going to try to change that and I also try to think how to change my hairstyle I usually just wear ponytail all the time, because it is the fastest and most comfortable style for me. Loved the vlog today and I was so happy seeing a video from you.
omg i would've been so maaaaad that is awful :( i've had very few good experiences at salons. it's sad that it's hard to find people who can actually do natural hair. i hope you were successful in detangling!
you and annie are so cute ;_;
I use Aussie Moist conditioner when my hair gets tangled. Just wet your hair and detangle with that conditioner before you shampoo (if you use shampoo to clean your hair).
Hi Charly! What a great person you appear to be! I just stumbled across your video today by following the youtube rabbit trail. You're very interesting and your shy laugh is SO CUTE!!! Also love the positive energy. I don't quite get the "veggies" reference but I'm sure I'll figure it out at some point. Stay sweet!
This reminds me of the time I went to get my big chop by a lady with locs. I will never go to her again; she took a paddle brush to my hair and combed from root to tip instead of tip to root. She didn't section it either; washed my hair without sectioning it and combed it without sectioning it. It was so painful. Charly let's not go to anyone who doesn't have loose natural hair, they'll mess you up! Lol.
Oh! And I would love to hear about your experience with caring for your hair according to the lunar cycle. I've been researching cutting by the moon, but haven't seen anything about basic care by the moon. I'm intrigued!
What I don't understand is, korea doesn't cater to African American hair so...they are not use to dealing with African American hair.
+TheCShocka Did u watch the video? The hair stylist was black....
I love the music in this video. You have great taste.
I am sorry for you already. I just started watching :(((((
Hehe at zee oil dripping down your face.
Sorry about your experience at the hairdresers - I've unfortunately experienced that also with my natural hair, to the point where I just don't trust any hairdressers to do my hair anymore :S I hope she improves or you find a hairdresser thats good that you can visit now and then :)
How is your finger now?
Cherelle Mitchell My finger is starting to peel now and doesn't hurt too much now. Thanks for asking! Yeah I plan to continue doing my own hair..I think this experience was to remind me how important it is to continue doing my own hair.
I want to see the whisper challenge so bad!!
Hai charlycheer, I think you and your videos are very interesting, that's one of my favorite food. I'm maze of rice and various vegetables. Greetings paris yally, you have beautiful hair!
You should buy the new tangle teezer for thick, curly and afro textured hair. It saved my life.
A tangle teaser makes the job A LOT easier
Oh no!!!! Never tried Olive oil but coconut oil is a Godsend for pretty much the whole body. I also leave mines in overnight w/ a baggy. :) A better routine. And a good detangling conditioner...(possibly a refund???) and it'll be another beautiful day.
i do the lunar trimming. I've started in June, but I got lazy so my hair didnt really do anything. Will try again!
Omg my father cuts his hair according to the moon cuts his hair according to the moon as well and plants his crops according to the moon.... I never thought much of the practice but now that I heard you mention it I'm going to look into it more and see why people have adopted these methods ... Even though it's mainly people who are old fashioned'
Hello Charlycheer I am here in Korea too!!!! I know all about natural hair if you ever needed some help detangling your hair....Oh yea do you know of any hiking trills that are really nice ? Sorry if my comment was weird lol
You should get a textlax it will loosen your curls a bit so it will be easier for you to manage trust me it will be worth it. But i recommend going to the states to get it done by a professional.
Hey charlycheer,
Try applying coconut oil to your dry hair, then saturate it with a conditioner that has good slippage. This works well for me and my girls.. Check out naptural85 she has a tutorial on it.. Plus it really fast. This should cut your 😤😖detangling time down by several hours.. 😄
Julie Lamour Thanks for the tips! I detangled my hair already. I watch naptural as well but more for her daily vlogs. I don't like coconut in my hair because it actually makes my hair dry. I prefer olive oil. :) Thanks for watching!
charlycheer first time watching your chanell. (: Your english is really good. were you born in korea?
she wasn't born in korea, her accent and perfect english gives it away that she was born and raised in america
I've given up on salons. They tend to be too rough. I could hear it popping and breaking. Was freaking out.
So I am not the only person with this sort of tangling? It drives me mad and I have yet to see any natural blogs or youtubers talk about it!
I'm late to the game with this video and no one below is saying anything....But why not try washing your hair once a week or once a month and use conditioner to help detangle with a brush or comb and then just use water every so often to help in the detangling two or three times a week? I have natural hair as well.
The funny thing, 10 years ago I went to west Africa to get my natural hair styled at a salon the women there were looking at my hair like they had never seen Natural hair before- I am glad hair care is improving with the internet you have to let her know that she did not do a good job and send her some info so she does not "jack" anyone else's hair up- a good rule of thumb is to look at the hair dressers hair if its not healthy then don't risk it! You should just get your side hustle on and do "natural hair on the side"
are there no Korean own natural hair salons? Korean's here in the US own all the beauty supplies so I would think they should know how to do some hair?
I live in Korea too, and I have natural hair which makes thing hard as well.
SPEAK UP LADIES!!!! ALWAYS!!!!!
I really love your videos
My grandmother and aunts only cut their hair when its a full moon. They claim it makes the hair grow back quicker. I always asked what is the purpose of cutting it if you want it to grow back quicker?
Wow, i would be so upset, you handled it well. It is frustrating, because she made your hair worse…like if she didn't know what she was doing she should have been honest. It's not easy firing someone who specialized in true hair care.
charlycheer - Too funny about the jeans. I never wear jeans, but own a pair. And for the past week, I've been wearing them. Go fig. :D
This should be a vlog so long I just wanted to see the hair part😒😒
I love your voice!
Hi Charly
There is a korean lady in itaewon that used to work at the army base and can do natural hair. You should check her out. I went to her and she did a good job
U should have put mustard on your burn it take the stinging feeling away a lot quicker
Oh No! That's a terrible situation. The hairdresser lady should have just gave you a head ups and let you know she is not that skilled in natural hair and then you could have proceeded with caution. It still looks healthy though. Good luck, Charly.
Girl be careful! don't burn ur skin!
I just wash my hair and braid it wet. I use Royal Crown and Sulfur 8.
If many of these hairdressers were good with natural hair so many women would not be perming or wearing weave.....
yo, Dude on the plane............That was funny, I feel bad for laughing but like
my mom has that whole cutting hair according to the moon thing....... it makes no sens to me cause it made no difference to my hair length (which never grows past my shoulders) my moms hair though grows very fast and long , hers is till her butt while mine doesn't go past my shoulders and once it reaches my shoulders it breaks .... this has been so all my life and has me depressed.
My hair was the exact same way. Never grew past my shoulders even though I've never put any chemicals on it. I even had some pretty bad heat damage because I was always straightening it. I figured out that my hair doesn't like being manipulated so I started protective styling a couple of years ago and now it's bra strap length and extremely thick. Try protective styling and keeping it moisturized.
Thanks for your replay, but sadly i have been protective styling it and even that breaks my hair after a while. I literally cant do anything with my hair or put anything in it that will not cause it to break, other than that i have skin problems that resulted in me developing psoriasis of the scalp (dr said its a mild version but its horrible) no matter what i put in my hair to moisturize it, it all dries up after a while or drips down to my face causing me to break out. ive been trying so many things to grow my hair and fix the scalp ... its been more than 15 years now TT_TT ive even went tot he hospital and they couldn't help me
***** its OK, thanks for the tip ill try it out.
Hey Charly,
I am a viewer from the Bahamas and I am quite fascinated by your lifestyle and have been for a while. I am in my last year of high school and I would like it if you can tell me what degrees you have and how I can get started on something like this traveling and culture absorbing and language learning while working or volunteering (not specifically korea),
When people don't finish the food they order at restaurants, do they usually ask for a take-away container/ bring their own container and bring the extra food home? or do they just leave it?
Hi! How much does the jjimjilbang charge for their admission? Also? Are you still doing the Skype talks? Your donation button on your website doesn't work.
Have you done a video on how you do your hair regement if not can you do one please!!!!!!
I'm in Korea too ! ❤️
Soooo was she just not combing her hair at all?! How the hell did it get so matted? Who does that?!
I speak Spanish as a second language, and there are many brown people, who speak Spanish.
Can Annie help you with your hair? I always have my love one help me with my hair or a least try. Thank you so much for the video.
Getting your hair cut according to the moon or new moon is nothing new, even here in the U.S. according to a beautician I went to many years ago.
Awww cool the 9 yr old is Big Sis!
If you don't mind me asking what camera are you using in the salon? :)
