Heat tools

Heat tools are our best friend when it comes to achieve a great style. The science behind heating tools is that the heat from the tools, raise the temperature of the hair shaft causing the hydrogen bonds inside the United curtex of the hair shaft which are what stylest call I the styling bonds. Now when these bonds are heated they take shape of water ever form u put them in and as the cool the bonds rebuild themselves and are locked in what I ever shape u put them in until u reheat them or shampoo your hair. Now using these type of styling tools are great for getting the r I ght look but they can also be very harmful if not used properly.

Product

Products are your best friend when it comes to having beautiful hair. Alot of people just dont understand that the models that they see on tv or in magazines just didnt wake up with great hair styles. It all starts with your product choice. One, don't pick something just because of how it smells. That is the wrong reason to choose a product. You need to look at what benefits the product can do for you. And even when a hairstyles shows you a product, be sure to ask more about the product and why they chose that certin one and how it will help you hair look feel and be healthy. If it seems like the stylist is not well educating you on the product and not answering the questions you ask confidentiality then I would second guess the stylists knowledge and input on the best way to take care of your hair. And if the stylist does make you feel confident on taking there advice make sure to ask the proper way to use the products. 

Inspiration

            Inspiration is one of the most largest ways a artist lets there creativity take control. when we feel inspired from a song, or nature or even a work of art, a wave of motivation takes over and we began to  express our self through our work. so when you can stop and take a look around you and see what grabs your eye do so because something new, fun, and great can come from what you see. Don't be afraid to create or learn something new because you never know if you will grow until you try. 

The Perfect curl

      


             The perfect natural curl is one of the most difficult things to achieve with out using a curling iron or flat iron, hot rollers, wet sets or even perms. Most people don't understand that the products they use in there curly hair plays a big part in getting the natural perfect curl that they crave. Curly hair craves moisture in order to get that perfect smooth bouncy curl. So the products to use need to be professional products that are extremely hydrating and moisturizing for the hair and also protects you from the environmental problems that are inevitable with mother nature. The other steps to take is  NOT to use a towel to dry your hair. A towel abrades the cuticle of the hair which disturbs the natural curl pattern and causes frizz. By using paper towels or an old t-shirt will stop the problem of disturbing the natural curl and also when drying your hair don't ring your hair out but try the keep your hair in a wet state not dripping wet but wet, then diffuse. while diffusing once the curl is achieved, DON'T TOUCH YOUR HAIR!!!! By constantly scrunching and playing with your hair after the desired curl is achieved will cause frizz and disturb the curl pattern. Try these tips and you will see a difference in your curly style.

          Dreams and ambitions are things that i have had since I was a young boy. Growing up in a small town in North Carolina, the country life was all I knew so when I discovered fashion and beauty magazines, it was life changing! Breaking into the industry by observing family and friends do their hair and makeup and researching every aspect I could think of. Every time a commerical would come on regarding fashion or beauty , I would be glued to the television willing my brain to absorb all the new tends and fads. Through the years I became more and more motivated to start trying things out on my own so I would style the hair and apply the makeup for friends, always wanting to try something new and different. I even sat down in front of a sewing machine and taught myself how to design and make clothing! As you can tell, my love for fashion and beauty has just continued to grow and expand! I soon started trying to find a way to get myself noticed in the industry so I began to model at the age of sixteen, hoping that this would open a door, but evidently it wasn't my time to shine yet. At the age of twenty, I began looking into further education. I enrolled into Chris's Beauty College to pursue my passion and my future. Since my first day at Chris's Beauty College I knew that God was about to open doors for me that had previously remained shut, waiting on his perfect timing. Over time being in beauty school my passion for fashion and beauty became more in depth.
           So you ask me, " Why do I want to be a part of Spread the Love"? Not only is spread the love an opportunity of a life time. The basic fundamentals and knowledge I will gain through Spread the Love will become the rock hard foundation for the life I hope to build for myself. I have had first hand life changing experiences ever since I've entered into the beauty industry. My passion in life is to be able to pas along my expericanes and the knowledge  that I have learned to the world! Being a hairdresser to me is spreading the love. There is no greater gift in life than knowledge. The beauty industry has changed my life in a way that I will always be grateful for and I want nothing more then to share that feeling with everyone I meet. That's why from this journey I hope to get more education, but most of all I want to help to inspire others to follow their dreams, and help to educate them from what I have learned.
