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.

How to choose the correct length when buying HairExtensions

Hair Extensions come in different lengths.  Choosing your  length is very important when buying extensions.  Since we are all different heights and sizes,  the extensions will not fall the same way.  It is a good idea to have a particular look or style in mind.  If you are not sure,  ask  yourself, are you looking to add extensions for length or fullness?  Once you figure  that out, it is time to begin measuring. Using a clothing   measuring tape (the soft one),  measure  your own hair and then decide on how much length you would like to add.  For example, if  the  length of your natural hair  is 10 inches and you would like to add 4 inches, you will need 14 inch extensions. If you want a full head of extensions with no leave out,  place the  tape on the  Crown of your head and bring it  down to your desired length.  Have a friend help you to hold ...

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. If you are trying to make a decision on weather or not...

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...
