Welcome to Hair Braiding 16 Hour Course Blog

Welcome to Hair Braiding 16 Hour Course Blog.  I am a Cosmetologist with over 35 years in the Beauty Industry.  I am also a Cosmetology Instructor, Business Coach and Mentor.  I am writing this Blog to help educate up and coming hairstylist learn and become licensed professionals in the field of braiding.

The Braiding Industry has evolved tremendously over the past 10 years.  The State of Florida now mandates that everyone who is braiding hair for compensation become certified and licensed. I am here to help you attain that goal.  I also want to encourage you to take your skills and business to the next level.  Here at 16 Hour Braiding Course, we also offer hands on classes for beginners and advanced Braiders.

As an added bonus, I will go over topics  that I teach in Cosmetology School that are relevant to you, the Braider.  You will be free to ask question and share your hair experiences along with your point of view on certain topics.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge with you.  Look out for my YouTube how to videos along with information on Hair Braiding from around the world.   Please tell your friends and family about this Blog.  I believe that it will be helpful to all.

Getting my hair done as a little girl

There is nothing like getting your hair done!  Ever since I was a little girl, I loved getting my hair done.  I could remember on Sundays my mother calling me while I was playing outside with my friends to tell me it was time to get my hair done.  Back in the day, it was an all day ordeal.  When you are young, black and without a relaxer, getting your hair done can be painful.  Nevertheless, I didn't mind.  I knew that I had to stand on a chair because I was too short to reach the sink.  Bend over, then stick my head under the running faucet.  That was my weekly ritual! Since we didn't have a blow dryer or hair dryer back in the day, my Mom would towel dry my hair, section it into 4 or 6 sections then braid it.  I was left to run free until my hair dried. Once my hair dried, here came the pressing comb and grease .  Even though I had the utmost trust in my Mother, I still squirmed and held my ears back when I felt the heat near my fac...

Why I decided to wear a Hair Closure

I remember the  first time I  heard about hair closures . I said “oh no”! I’m not wearing that! I may as well wear a wig! As time when on and I began seeing Celebrities on television wearing lace closures and silk closures, they looked beautiful! It was difficult to tell if it was their natural hair or not.  The hair looked as though it was growing right out of their heads!!  I was so amazed!   They had me fooled.  LOL!   So I broke down and bought a Brazilian Silk Lace Closure to compliment my Brazilian Body Wave Hair from Mayvenn Hair.  It was one of the best hair decisions I have ever made in my Hair Career:  No more dry or broken leave outs due to the curling iron or flat iron. I was able to give my hair a rest.  I looked fabulous everyday with no effort. My weaves last for a longer period of time. Learn 3 things you must do before installing your weave.

How to keep your Hair Style Beautiful while working out

Many of us Ethnic women don't like to work out because we don't want to lose that fresh Beauty Salon Look that we paid $50.00 or more for.  We allow ourselves to get out of shape for the sake of our hair-do.  When you can't style your own hair and you rely soley on your Hairstylist, it can be tramatizing when after working out for 30 minutes doing the cha cha in zumba class, you look in the mirror only to see that your hairstyle went flat! You ask yourself. What is a girl to do?  How can I exercise and still look my best for work or school? The Gym wrap Well here are a few tips and suggestions that will help you keep that hair-do: 1.  If you are wearing a wrap style, wrap your hair and place a multi-style headband cap on your head to protect your hair.  Your hair may be a little damp after working out.  Allow it to dry completely,  then comb it down and style. (Your hair will not be frizzy). You can also wear a gym wrap which will absorb al...
