I had a whole in my head

The weekend before my Great Aunt's funeral I went to a hairdresser recommended by mom due to my lack of knowledge of how to transition from permed hair to natural. Well she gave me a lot of knowledge on my hair that day. The lady told me that going "cold turkey" and not putting a texturizer in my hair would damage my hair. It would cause my hair to fall out because my hair is not use to being natural.

What a LIAR!!!!!

She put the texturizer in my hair even though I was reluctant at first and decided to wash and style my hair really well. She styled it so well that the next week in my dorm room I noticed that I had a HUGE bold spot on the right side of my head. I screamed and panicked. I immediately called my mother so I could show the lady what she had done to me. When I saw her, she immediately told me it was not her fault and that my hair was already damaged. What she didn't expect was for her shampoo lady to tell on her by saying that most of my hair fell out in the shampoo bowl and she had a handful of my hair in her hands. The stylist then proceeded to tell me she would do my hair for free for the next month because she felt bad for me (she just didn't want me to suspend her license). I told her No but let her do my hair once for my Great Aunt's funeral. After that, the next week exactly, I went to a barber and had all of my hair cut off.
