1st Week

I'm in love. With hair. I just finished my first week at the Paul Mitchell school and I loved every minute of it. Just in the last 3 days, we learned:

Basics - Cranium and facial bone structure, Hair structure, texture, porosity, density, etc.
Draping for wet, chemical, and dry services
Basic parting (not as easy as it sounds)
Classic French braids
Inside out French braids
Fishtail braids
Corn rows
Pin Curls
Barrel Curls
Shampooing
Mini Scalp massage
Leafing & Beveling Blow dry

I know you don't care, but this will help me keep a record of the things we learn. It goes so fast that I'm afraid I'll forget.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about doing hair before I started. I've never actually done it before (other than little cuts here and there to friends), but I get so excited to learn silly things like shampooing and corn rows! I think I'm definitely in the right place. The people in the school are so awesome and my class is full of super cool people. I feel so lucky to have gotten myself here to follow this dream.

Now I'm off to go for a quick run and get ready for my 2nd date with "Ted"!! Pizza, beer, and live-band karaoke... can it really get any better than that??
