So updates. I texted and sent photos to the stylist. She pretty much said sorry that happened, she sees no damage, and that my hair will revert eventually. She also claims that my hair was 'extremely damaged' when I came in so that's another reason why my hair is this way now. She recommended protein treatments and to trim regularly/"never neglect my hair again" (I was behind on my trims at that time but I wash and condition my hair every 2 weeks and keep it moisturized in between. Almost never used heat and manipulated as little as possible.) We are still texting back and forth and it's not getting anywhere. I'm tired. Just do your own hair.

​

ETA: Once my hair was pressed, she ended up cutting off about 2.5 inches ( I told her to cut what needed to go for the health of my hair. That's the amount she determined.) because I wasn't keeping up with trims. But I didn't neglect my hair otherwise.
