Skills and
techniques in hair care and hair styling are acquired three ways. Culturally, trial
and error and watching social media or other instructional material. Cultural
lends itself to technique via hands on teaching, training and learning from one
family member to another. Typically, one who is experienced in hair care and
hair styling will perform the task. Age is not a mandate to caring for or styling
hair in many cultures. Provided the person can do it effectively, they can do
the task of hair care and hair styling. Trial and error lend itself via a
combination of cultural and technology. Sometimes, the best way to learn how to
care for and style your hair is to actually do it. When a mistake is made, you
will know not to do that again. When success is achieved, you will repeat for desired
results. Technology is new to hair care and hair styling. Traditionally someone
had to physically teach you. Today, that physical help can now be virtual. That
is correct. The science of computer, artificial intelligence and virtual learning
is here. Not only is it here now, but forever. Human love learning from computers,
robots, animation and more. For as many reason as there are letters in the words
of this blog is what I could site as a number of reasons humans love the use of
technology in the beauty and barber industries.
Rather you are learning from your grandma, mother, cousin, neighbor or hairstylists, the culture of hair care and hair styling always trumps as the most popular way people learn the various techniques of how to care for and style their hair. The good old-fashioned trial and error is my personal favorite. I think learning comes in the doing. The only drawback are the misfortunes of probably snatching your hair out! Technology, of course I like technology when it comes to learning the proper techniques of hair care and hair styling. I like for one reason and one reason only; replay.
There you have it. The powerful simplistic, yet necessary of techniques. Make the time to take the time to care for and style your hair. Be it smooth, braided, wild, curled, coiled, teased, locked, twisted, fried, dyed and laid to the side; your hair style is an expression of your self-care. You matter to you. What does not matter is where and how you learn the techniques needed to care for and style your hair. The right products, the right tools and the right techniques will always yield the desirable outcomes. Be patient. Understand, you will not learn all there is to know about techniques on the first try with ever hair style. Have fun. Don’t be too serious. It is all going to work out. You will look good anyway. You have other assets to compliment or contrast what you like or dislike about your hair. Simply remain consistent in your efforts and routine.
