How to politely turn down her offer of doing my hair

OH brothers girlfriend keeps offering to do my hair. I have Afro Caribbean hair I go to a Afro hair stylist.

She keeps offering to chemically straighten my hair and put nano rings in. My hair is natural and I have extensions but I have weaves as I don't like to damage my hair.

Also she has no experience with Afro hair.

How can I politely say no?

Um, just say no, thank you? Tell her you prefer to go to a specialist hairdresser if you want to soften the 'blow'.

Ask her what experience she has with Afro hair, then tell her you would rather not be her guinea pig.

Only if it was that easy she added me to her hair page and even said to my other brother in law "s should let me do her hair shouldn't she"
I just said to her I don't think you could do my hair it's not like yours.

If you relax afro hair and put nano rings in it you will lose A LOT of hair. Relaxed hair can’t take the extra weight.

Tell her you’re going through a nit treatment 😱😂

I’d just say that you have a regular hairdresser who knows your hair and you are happy with and if you go elsewhere she won’t like it.

No is a complete sentence

Just keep saying no. She'll eventually get fed up of asking.

"No, I'm alright thanks" Smile

then

"I've already said no - why do you keep asking" Confused

then

"No. Which part are you finding it difficult to understand ?" Hmm

Is she expecting to be paid or offering a freebie? Either way just keep saying 'no thanks.' Why on earth is she trying to push you into a style you don't like and don't want? That's pretty weird. As the first poster said, just say you prefer to go to a specialist if she persists, but if she keeps going on, I'd become somewhat less polite about it!

I would find it super hard to be polite in your shoes. Is she nice? She's coming across as a dick.
