What I did: A haircut isn’t complete without a style! Today, I blow dried my manikins hair using a round brush and styled it using products. I used Morrocan oil to soften the hair and help tame the frizz. To keep the style from shifting, I used a lot of hairspray to ensure that it stayed put!
Reflection: Styling hair comes rather easy to me. I’m so used to doing my hair all the time that working on the manikin didn’t feel akward. I felt very comfortable and ac
tually had fun with it which was quite different from cutting it where I was nervous and afraid of messing up.
This is me drying the manikin's hair!

Before cutting the hair, washing the hair is crucial. It helps to keep the hair in place and makes it easy for the stylist to manipulate it!
What I did: Today, I actually cut the hair! I met with Penny and we got busy cutting my manikin’s hair right away. It took a while
because she was explaining everything in detail. Also, it took a while because it was my first time cutting hair!
Reflection: Nervous and anxious, I walked into Penny’s studio and we began talking about cutting my manikin’s hair. She was explaining everything in so much detail and I felt like I was learning so much. It was awesome! I never knew that cutting hair revolved around geometry! The scissors felt weird in my hand and it was rather difficult to hold both the comb and the scissors in my hand, but Penny said that the reason they (hairstylists) did that was because it would take too long to put the scissors down each time. I really feel like this was a great experience and I’m glad I got the chance to do it.
