I love my instructors

Have I mentioned this lately? I love them! Love, love, love them! They both love curly hair.

A while ago, we were supposed to create a poster board called our dream board, full of things we want in out lives, not just hair related. I put up things like I want a house with land, a chef, to eventually get married (maybe), learn how to spin flax and remain close to my family. The usual suspects for me. Then I also put that I was to become a certified curly hair specialist. What a round that sent off around the room! Both of my instructors congratulated me on that dream and said it would take me many places, but didn't know there were places you could certify in cutting curly hair.

They both love to cut curly hair and love it period. They always make examples of myself and the other girl in the class with curly hair. They even tried to talk her out of relaxing it. I think she might have listened. I also happened to pass on the nc.com website and revealed a lot about my hair styling routine. Like the fact that I only shampoo every 2 weeks. The instructors said that was great if I can get away with it. I also revealed that I cleanse with conditioner in between like you would use a shampoo. They were fascinated! Tonight was a fabulous night!

Oh, yeah...maybe on to the learning. We learned how to bleach virgin hair (again, using conditioner) and how to bleach a regrowth. This was much easier and made perfect sense to me.

Yesterday, we were going over hair color formulations and I made a comment about henna and some of the girls in the class were shocked to find out this color wasn't my natural color. Okay, first, I have roots that are about 1/2" long. I would think it's pretty obvious it's not my natural color. Second, it's flaming orange red! How often do you really see that? And third, we've made numerous comments in class not to bleach my hair because nothing will happen because it has henna on it! Seriously, people...seriously.
