Description

Welcome to The Science of Hair! I'm Lina, and I want you to succeed in your hairstyling journey.As makeup artists or hairstylist enthusiasts we're told that in order to learn hairstyling, we should shell out tens of thousands of dollars to go to hair school. But you don't need to do that if you don't want to learn cut and color.When I was a makeup artist, I wanted to learn the fundamentals of hair; but everyone was charging so much money and they still didn't go over the main basics of hair. So I created a course for those of us who don't want to go to school, learn the basics and feel confident in providing hairstyling to clients.I've summarized the main points in the Milady textbook I studied in hair school to empower you to move to the next level in your career.In this course you will learn the main points you need like head shapes, pH levels, the different types of hair color and the difference between dandruff and dry scalp.This will help you become more confident in diagnosing your, and your clients' hair, and help you to choose really great products. You will stand out from hobby stylists and be able to charge a premium for your services.I hope you'll join me and enjoy this course, and be ready to take your hair career to the next level!
