Course content
- In this lesson, students will learn a quick and easy alternative to the traditional pleat. Ideal for photoshoots, or any occasion when they are short on time. Students will cover blow drying, pinning, and tonging skills, as well as barrel and spiral curls.
- An essential style if you are a busy stylist preparing clients for special occasions. Packed with tips on everything from hand positioning to binding with cloth elastic, students will learn how to complete the style with a blended section of weft.
- In this lesson, students cover two essential techniques: the fishtail and the French plait. Students will perfect their fishtail plaiting skills, performing a modern loose undone style. Next, the student will learn a soft and diffused update of the classic French plait, which is incredibly effective both on the catwalk and for bridal clients.
- In the fourth lesson, students are taught the two-strand twist. Thorough preparation and product use are crucial to execution, as are ponytail placement, double rotation, and positioning. This tight up-do with its combination of twists will impress your clients, leaving them with a clean yet classic style with a modern twist.
- In the final lesson, you will learn how to style a chignon back bun. Building your techniques ranging from back brushing to blow drying and ponytails, students learn how to create movement and volume with rollers, leaving your client with a smooth refined finish.
