Plaits and pin ups

Plaiting and pin ups today!

We started the day talking about this quote.

We looked at different ways to plait and pin up hair. We didnt realise there was so many different types of plaits and pin ups and like the quote said, not all of them were as complicated as they first looked.

We watched some great videos from the you tube playlist watched some great demos and we created some fabulous styles.

Didn't we do well!

Our first client experience with H1L

Our turn for our first clients today and we were more nervous than the other group as Lisa had told us how well they had done.

After some consultations we started to shampoo.

Then we all set too blowdrying and styling. Plaiting, twisting, making bows, curling and straightening.

One client had such long hair we all calcuated how long her hair is in the Anagen growing stage for.

And now for the results!

And all our feedback

Yeah all together students and clients! 

Everybody happy! Lovely to see.
