Working Smarter not Harder!

Several things that only a cosmetology student would want to know. Before you start on the head of hair know the right thing to get started with. It's important and more than likely will save you some time. A quote from one of my favorite instructors: Work Smarter Not Harder!

Using the right hair brush. I have always wondered what brush for what purpose. I recently purchased a ratting/teasing brush at Sally's Beauty Supply. I found it on sale & like it. Into the brush drawer it went. Have I used it? YES!

Hair combs & their uses.  It's always good to know what is the best comb to use. I love the longer combs for hair cutting. They are usually made of a more durable type of plastic or another substance. I'm quite tired of melting combs when flat combing hair. I'm going to try the flat iron comb; I have not ordered it yet but I'm getting close to making the purchase. If you have used this comb, please post a comment and let me know if it will be worth the purchase.

 



Blow Drying, all I want is a dryer that drys the hair quickly and get it as straight a possible.
If you are in the market for a new dryer the link will give you a few tips. I did check out reviews on the Yellow Bird blow dryer. Mixed reviews some good some bad. I'd only suggest went selecting another dryer or if your dryer goes out, I like the attachments option. If you have a Yellow Bird or another brand that works well for you share your info.

As Flat Irons go I think one that heats up fast and has a range of settings will be your best bet. I have a school issue Babyliss & a professional model by the same company. (It has a higher heating range. When you flat iron you want it to get the hair bone straight.) You will also need to include in your kit a mini flat iron. I have found it useful on shorter hair. Mine is from Sally's Beauty Supply and works fine. I paid only $19.99 for mine. Super cut has pink heating elements. 

 

All I can say spend your money wisely on any new tools that you need and take care of the ones that you have. You must keep them clean, oiled & in tip top condition. They will serve you will and you need them in order to tackle the hair full speed!
