5. “Stop thinking that finger detangling = detangling. Please use a wide toothcomb. Contrary to popular belief, it will not rip your hair out. Don’t ask me why your hair is breaking off or splitting if you haven’t trimmed your hair in 1.5 years. I got’s no sympathy and nothing but real tough love.”

6. “Stop advising stylists from tips you got from YouTube…Great tutorials but experience and education trump “kitchen beautician.”
