hello Pebbles

 

[Karonica]

I can do nice strawsets. Pro at airdrying. Pro at scalp oiling (go figure). And best of all, I'm good with face styling (determining how to fix a style to flatter one's face and also what color is flattering with your complexion).

This is afun thread!

I have mastered:

1. Giving myself a relaxer (it's nice not waking up with scabs and puss the next day)

2. Cutting my own ends( because every hairdresser seems to want to cut 2 inches of my hair, when I only want the ends "TRIMMED")

3. taking vitamins again

4. And last but not least ... It's work in progress ... Following a regimen and tending to my hair daily.

My masters are in clipping ends and air drying.

 

[aqualung]

Good thread! I have no degrees yet!

I'm actively mastering the basics this summer:

2.washing
3.conditioning(protein or moisturizing)
4.protective styling
6.Diet including supplements
8.Developing and sticking to a regime
12.Airdrying
15.Patience
16.Being gentle to hair

I consult the board for these to save $$$:

14.Knowing exactly what hair needs
5.product selections & reviews

These are on hold indefinitely:

1.self relaxing (VERY intimidating prospect)
9.Roller-setting
11.Hot oil treatments
8.clipping ends

I must say, if I could relax my own hair (like my mom does hers), I'd feel so free from NEEDing my stylist. One thing at a time.

 

[gvsugirl]

still working on getting the conditioning (alternating btw proteins and moisturizings)

I've mastered how to choose and use products, but I'm still struggling with roller sets, and I get so tempted to reach for my curling iron (sad).
