Dominican Hair Salon The doobie process involves a wash and deep condition, then a roller set (on huge rollers.) The client is then placed under a hood dryer for about 45 minutes. After the rollers are removed, the hair is then blow-dried under high heat with a round brush that pulls hair straight from the roots.
A Dominican blowout involves shampooing, detoxing for scalp, and straightening the hair. The hair becomes so straight that it curls at the root.
Rollers are used in all Dominican Blowouts and some silk presses. The smooth magnetic type are typically used for both processes and as long as they are clipped in place with seamless clips or bobby pins, they are pretty gentle to the hair. The flat iron and blowdryer are the riskiest tools used in both processes.
Though most Dominicans tend to have curly, textured hair, the culture favors long, straight hair.
Dominican Hair salons are known to the world for making the curliest and kinkiest hair straight. I call it “whipping out the ethnicity” out of your hair. Dominican beauty standards are centered around Eurocentric beauty standards of long straight hair, where anything else wasn't considered beautiful.
Moisture is the enemy of straightened hair. After getting your Dominican Blowout, it's crucial to avoid high humidity areas and keep your hair dry, especially during the first few days. Consider using a silk or satin scarf to wrap your hair at night to minimize friction and maintain smoothness.
Now really - what is 4c hair? 4c hair type has the tightest curl pattern of all the curly hair types. Strands are formed in tight, springy, ringlets. 4c hair tends to clump more at the ends and is even more prone to shrinkage than 4b hair. According to CURLS, 4c hair can shrink up to 75% of its length!
The majority of Dominican people identify as mixed race, which includes Mestizo or Indio and Mulatto. A smaller percentage of Dominican people identify as Black, and an even smaller percentage as white. Minority groups within the Dominican Republic include people of Middle Eastern and Asian ethnicities.
Hair type and texture are determined by several factors, including genetics. The African hair is more coiled and drier; Asian hair (Korean, Japanese) is straighter and thicker; and Caucasian hair is somewhere in between with around 45% having straight hair, 40% having wavy hair, and 15% having curly hair.
Before we get started, it's important to know that there isn't just one type of hair that is defined as Latina. Latina hair can be found in all different forms - straight, wavy, curly, etc.
Dominican Hair Salon
The "doobie" (a derivative of its original name "tubi") is a process for straightening hair that yields results quite comparable to a chemical relaxer. The name "tubi" comes from the tube-like wrapping process involved in creating luscious bouncy hair.
To help limit damage, apply heat slowly and evenly for desired silk press hair results and adjust your flat iron temperature to suit your hair texture and thickness. Once the first section of hair is completely straight, move on to the next section. Repeat the process until you've completed your silk press.
Both create temporary silky, glossy hairstyles without the use of chemical relaxers, and both involve wrapping your hair at the end of the treatment. The Dominican blowout generally results in a final look with more volume and movement, but a silk press can last slightly longer — from two to three weeks.
Plopping is a heat-free method of drying and curling your hair—yes, sans heat—which can help your luscious locks retain moisture and keep frizz at bay. With a little practice, hair plopping might just become your favorite drying and curling method that saves you time and creates lively curls in as little as 15 minutes.

Type 1A: The rarest hair type, this one is very straight and fine with a “wispy” appearance. It's very difficult to get it to hold a curl. Type 1B: Though still straight, this type has a medium (rather than fine) texture and a little more volume.
Caucasian hair has a thinner diameter than Asian hair (60 – 80 µm in diameter), and therefore tends to appear 'finer' than Asian hair, even though there is typically more hair on the head (around 700,000).
Genetics and ethnicities
The average DNA admixture of the founder Dominican population was 73% European, 10% Native, and 17% African, but due to the migration from Haiti and other Afro-Caribbean countries, the current overall admixture is 50%-60% European, 8%-12% Native and 30%-40% African.
"The people of the Dominican Republic are mainly of Spanish descent, some pure white, others mixed with African blood, others with an admixture of Indian, and still others a combination of white, Indian, and black. While the pure black, or nearly black, African American is far less in evidence than in Haiti.
NOTE: Hispanic or Latino refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. This includes people who reported detailed Hispanic or Latino groups such as: Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican Republic, etc.
If the above applies to you, congratulations - you have 4C hair. Although this hair type is the weakest for breakage and dryness, the incredible volume allows for a range of hairstyles that will last for days, as well as holding protective hairstyles for months.
5c hair type:
Type 5c hair texture has the tightest curl pattern among the other types. It forms a distinct "Z" shape and has a coarser texture. This hair type is often densely packed. Also, it requires extra care to maintain moisture and prevent breakage.
Most 4C hair textures fall under a low porosity, high shrinkage category, which means that the hair has a tough time absorbing moisture, is very fragile and easily breakable, and shrinks a lot when it's wet.
