That's the same thing that I was thinking, neosoulchild. I mean, I understand what people are saying about the strand test, but most people don't want to wait. Often times, allergic reactions don't occur until later that night or the next day. And not to put down certain people, but some of the folks seen in our Hot Ghetto Mess posts don't appear to be the type that would be patient enough to wait for strand tests.
I have never been to a salon and had a strand test performed for relaxer nor color. It is also the responsibility of the client and stylist to be aware of the medications, other services recently performed, etc. that may interact.
One thing's for sure: She looks like that movie "Mask."
