Scary tale of working on someones actual hair...

Today's blog is me discussing what it felt like to work on someone's hair for the first time. I worked on Kathy's hair (which is possibly the longest hair I've worked on in class). I was skeptical about working on someones hair because I was so worried I would their head or even worse, their hair!

I was prepared for a challenge though and set off to work on someones actual hair for the first time. So I sectioned (lots of her hair) and wrapped her all the way round the ironing tong and curled it all the way to near the top of head. I left it wrapped round for 30 seconds or till I could feel the heat through the hair. 

I repeated this numerous times and after many burns to my fingers later, I had curled her entire hair.

Overall I really enjoyed curling someones hair and oddly felt relaxing. After a few minutes of failed attempts at curling her hair, I picked up on how to wrap the hair round the tong so the heat would get to it better. By the end I felt I had mastered the perfect curl with the tongs. In the pictures I know all the curls aren't the best but I felt like with my practise I will be able to do the practise curl straight away. I know I have no worries about working on someones actual hair in future.
