african salon caucasian hair wax twists/comb coils disaster

salon and loctician dreads recovery

Ok well now that it's done, why rip It all out and start over? Can't I get some form from what I have done? I shouldn't have to pay, but I did. So I'm wondering what I should do with my current state? Will it not work? Some discussions on this site say that it's not the best method, but still works... I'd like to go from this point, hopefully without taking them all out. I just need some advice on where to go from here. If you really feel that it ABSOLUTELY will not work, then let me know. So how can I keep it from here, If I didn't add wax anymore. I'm sorry I didn't go the Natural way, some people do, and some people don't I guess. I'm new to this and have always wanted to Dread my hair. So help a Newb out rather than bag on me.

Hey I went to a salon yesterday, and got a Twist N Rip. I payed a decent amount over a hundred. I didn't realize this was the method the hair dresser was using. I am Caucasian and my hair was long, and straight. Shoulder length. The woman used a Wax/Gel mix, and I sat under the dryer for 2 hours pinned up. Well when I was finished I came out looking like Snoop Doggy dog, or a real funky junk yard dog. She said not to wash for two weeks and the curly they stay the better. Then in two weeks she would work them again. Also she said not to twist them myself. Here's my questions, my hair is white boy straight will this method work? Should I trust her and not twist them on my own? Should I add/use more wax if needed? Also do you recommend going back to her for 50 bucks? She was very nice, Nigerian, and seemed to know a bit of what she was talking about. Although I feel I was a very, very rare Caucasian client, and she seemed anxious because my hair was very straight. Will this method make my hair curly/ more nappy? Will my hair lock this way? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
