She used to go to him too.<br /><br />She goes to Letizia at 1Hairlab, Circonvallazione Ostiense 301, +39 06 51607656<br /><br />She suggested that you bring your own product as one time they used something that actually straighten her hair and she's still growing it out. <br /><br />I don't know if anyone there speaks English (my friend speaks Italian fluently). It's in a non touristy part of the city, so write down what you want/need in Italian before making your appointment/going. <br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-45689407389440965982017-09-04T01:17:17.377+02:002017-09-04T01:17:17.377+02:00Hey!

I am a natural who wears my hair straight so even a blowout or roller set would do. This blog post really helped me not feel alone in my hair journey especially because my white roommates think I'm exaggerating when I talk about the amount of care, time, and product my hair needs to stay long and healthy.

While I'm not black I have extremely frizzy curly coarse hair that is blow dryied straight every 5-7 days, I'm British Moroccan . I cannot go out in the damp and obviously wet or my hair getsruined there is NO doing it myself Sadly its the bain of my existence and drives me nuts. I've had my hair dresser for 20 years he's middle eastern and it takes him 45 minutes of tugging and pulling BUT it looks amazing when the blow dry is done - no heated straighteners in sight, he works just with a few bristle brushes. <br />Anyhow I'm from Canada and Im coming to Rome next month (May) with a young good looking guy I casually date, he's younger than me and has only seen me on days I've had my hair done, or the next day and I dont want to look like crap by the end of the vacation.<br />I'll be in Rome for 8 days, I'm sure I could squeak by till the end if there is no rain, dampness, humidity etc but I'd rather get a blow dry on the 4th day.<br />So while this all sounds vain its my one issue that I fight with and I desperately need to find a hairdresser that can get my hair straight, someone thats been working with coarse, curly, frizzy hair for a few decades in Rome. I speak Italian, lived there as a kid, dont care what the salon looks like just that the person is qualified.<br />A MILLION THANKS IN ADVANCE! !Sunnbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818074316889998852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-84352259665913835522013-12-29T07:47:46.836+01:002013-12-29T07:47:46.836+01:00Lola, I don't recommend the salon, but the one...Lola, I don't recommend the salon, but the one called Black Hair across from Termini does relaxed hair.

I've tried some of the ladies around termini, but they are not for me, I'm looking for something way different.<br />Is Elena working in the shop in via dei zingari? Thanks so much for your help!!
