Updo Wars




Yesterday we competed in Updo Wars as I like to call it. We divided into three groups, each group having only hairspray and bobbypins as their tools. Our goal: To create a stunning updo with only the presented tools. Twist: Only one person could work at a time, when the music stopped, we were presented with the challenge of switching team members. Result: Three amazingly unique updo's inspired by the challenge, the music, the atmosphere, the rhythm....

I Adored this challenge because it caused us to think outside the box. It made us strive for perfection and simplicity while striving for unique and sophisticated.


For now, Exhaustion calls...


When in doubt when doing an updo....Tease (backcomb) the hair!-Erin {Learning Leader}

An Introduction of Sorts

Stares at the blank screen with only thoughts swirling around in my head. A day full of perms and Chemical Relaxers,I wish I could relax, but alas my brain feels permed, curled in hundreds of different directions, bouncing around ideas of the chemical make up of hair to the difference between Dutch Braids and French Braids.

This blog is a cumulation of stories, thoughts, ideas from my year at cosmetology school and I will add to it as time allows throughout my year.
