First thing one needs to know while being a hairdresser, is that this is perhaps the most ancient of all human professions. Without barbers revolutions would not had happened. When men and women wore nothing , they still had their hair. And whatever hair they wore, they sure had a style. So hair is the earliest fashion trip anyone ever had, and there is no shame in being called a barber. Although, ?hairstylist? or ? hairdresser? are not sophisticated terms either, they are simple as a barber.
Now, to be the best barber-- firstly, there are three ?p?s and the other tricks that does not start with the alphabet ?p?. The three p?s are poetry, patience and precision. Hairdressing is a feminine thing. There is poetry in it. The way a girl keeps her hair reflects the way she is. And if the hairdresser can feel this vibe then the best part is already done. A hairdresser has to be patient .She has to listen to what the other person is saying, or in what way the client wants to see herself( or what is the silhouette that a designer wants, in that case). This is a very crucial part. One has to be very careful.
And that is how ,we come to the third p??precision?. A hairdresser must be very careful. She has to be precise with the precious strands that she is dealing with. Hair must must be dealt with a lot of care. A hairstyling gone wrong is probably the most awful thing to happen to anyone. A wardrobe malfunction or a wrong make-up can still be managed, but hair gone wrong is most difficult to agree with.
The next most important part is understanding the nature of hair. Hairs can be curly, wavy, frizzy or straight. A hairdresser has to judge the quality of hair; is it oily or dry ? How much dampness it can retain? What is the texture of the hair ? and so on.. These are important as the hairdressing technique varies with the nature of the hair. A hairdresser must also know about the tools of the trade. She has to know instinctively which platinum scissor to pick? Which part of the hair is to be cut when dry and which part is to be cut while wet ?when to use clips? or, what is the perfect angle of holding the hair blower over the head?
Also, the best hairdresser must have knowledge about the art .She has to learn the use of wigs ,ribbons , glitters, colours and gels. She has to understand the difference between a balzo and a snood, the curl and the braid . She must know why a cornrow is a cornrow and why people in 18th century wore hairs as high as a nest. Without hairs, everyone is a roundhead. It is hairs that make a person famous. - 30305
