I totally understand where you are coming from. I was in Seville, Spain for 8 mos last year and was wondering what I was going to do with my relaxed hair. Luckily, I stumbled across an African/ African-American beauty supply in the neighborhood I lived in which sold black hair products including relaxer kits (the same ones you'd find here). Because I don't trust just anyone doing my hair, I relaxed it myself. I also looked in the local phonebook out of curiosity and found a couple black/african salons. You could probably do the same in Rota. Also, if you see other local black women in town ask them ("Me perdona, sabe donde se vende productos para pelo 'n e g r o' (I spaced it like that b/c yahoo deems the spanish word for "black" as offensive) o africano?").



Hope that helps.

it doesn't make sense that you call Africans Americans to the black people of Spain, they are Europeans or Africans. in Spain call someone black don't make you racist.

I don't know the area, so I can't help specifically. But in other Spanish cities that I have lived and visited, I don't recall seeing specific african-american hair salons. My suggestion is to do a could of things: walk around town and see what sort of salons there are, you might find one! Rota is in the south where there are more africans than in the north. 2. If you find a salon you like, go in and ask the manager if they have experience working with your hair type. 3. Ask someone on the base for a recommendation. I'm sure there are others with your hair type/style that might be able to tell you where they get their hair done. I've included a link to the name of some hair salons in Rota from the spanish yellow pages.



Good luck, enjoy Spain and thank you for serving.
