I have been thinking I might want to go to beauty school. Only thing is I am not all that good at styling. I can cornrow, braid, flat twist and need practice on TST on my own head haven't really tried them on someone else. Also of course I am going to have to learn how to weave I guess.
Today is my sisters picture day and she wanted to wear her hair straight. She wanted it bouncy and flowing. She doesn't know how to do hair for crap so I offered to do it since I have a nice flat iron and need the practice.
I washed and DC her hair. Her very coarse thick hair was VERY soft after. Then I put a leave in by CON and some IC heat protectant serum and blow dried her hair. Her hair had started to revert on the ends by the time I was done. THEN I flat ironed her hair. Her ends were fine at first but by the time we were done they were fuzzy in some places.
We got a late start so I wrapped her hair, applied some extra serum, and hoped for the best. When she woke up and unwrapped her hair this morning it was so stiff and her ends looked bad. We all need trims but DAYUM. Her face wasn't happy at ALL. I felt bad. I mean I did my best she only gave me a day. I set my Sedu 1.5 to about 360 because I didn't want to be the cause of any damage to her hair. Is that too low? She has some serious thick hair.
I guess I just feel bad because when I was trying to help fix her hair, the whole time she was just looking unhappy. SO i was like *** it you do it then. And so she went and threw some condish in her hair and she is going to wear her dried tight shrunken fro to school. I mean it's cute and all but it's never shaped nice and it's always so dry looking. I feel like as a natural sometimes we gotta represent harder because people are going to point and laugh and say things especially in highschool. Especially since we live in the land of gelled up, weaved up TO' up, dried thirsty hair. Their hair is cute, and to them her hair is nappy. Sometimes they say its soft like sheep wool...or whatever them little kids say to her.
What can I do next time to get better results?
