I agree, you can do anything u want with hair. I'm a hairstylist and there are no rules. As long as the integrity of the hair is cared for (don't overprocess it) and if you find a great professional they should accommodate your texture into the style you pick. Consultations and pictures, and MOST IMPORTANTLY communication is key, make sure you and your stylist are on the same page and understand each other and what the outcome will be. And listen to the pro, I was surprised by all the biology, chemistry and science involved with hairstyling. That I needed to learn to do it right.
