Thanks for all your replies. We don't do Brazilian blow dry but probably one of my college friends in a bigger salon may do it for me. My hair is not long, it only just touches my shoulders, hence the razoring, but not sure i'd go there again anyway. One way or another this is the worst my hair has looked for ages, apart from the colour which is nice. When it came to my clients colour was what I used to find hardest when I set out, so I concentrated all my efforts on getting that right, clearly I now need a revision on condition! :o Glad I have this site for such great support.
