Hi people!
Today I feel inspired by the hair culture in my country, Puerto Rico and I want to talk to you a little bit about it. When it comes to celebration (birthdays, holidays, weddings) or just a daily hairstyle, women prefers a very straight hair. The most requested hairdo is to get your hair as sleek and straight as posible. I dare to say everywoman knows how to blow dry and flat iron hair better than a profesional. When the hair styling is finished we do something we call "dubi", that its mainly wrapping your hair and putting some clips in it. We stay with the dubi for hours, more is better, bacuse the dubi helps to avoid frizz and while we fix it and reverse it the oils spread trough teh hair. It is so common to see women shopping or in the middle of the party with their "dubies". The sad thing is that because we are a mix of Taino, Spanish and African the most common hair is curly, as mine is, but no one cares about it. It think some reason women prefer to style their hair straight is because they do not know how to style and mantain curly hair or they think straight hair is beautiful than curly. Even the little girls have to get flat ironed hair for special occasions. That is why it was so dificult to me to quit flat ironing my hair weekly. Now, after years dealing with it, I feel different (in a good way) and free and I only straight my hair few times in a year.
This is a dubi if you want more information about how to do it you can ask:
