In the lively atmosphere of the REOC Cosmetology School, I led a haircare workshop designed to empower students with essential techniques for maintaining and styling their hair. Armed with a variety of products and tools, I engaged the participants through hands-on demonstrations, showcasing everything from proper washing and conditioning methods to intricate styling tips and trendy updos. The workshop was interactive; students eagerly practiced on another student, asking questions and sharing their own experiences. As I emphasized the importance of selecting products suited to different hair types and addressing common concerns like heat damage and scalp health, the room buzzed with enthusiasm and newfound knowledge. The session concluded with a lively Q&A, leaving everyone inspired and equipped with the skills to elevate their haircare routines for themselves and future clients.

    "The Art of Braiding: Techniques, Styles, and Tips for Braided Hair"



    Braiding straight back involves parting the hair into even sections, from the front to the nape of the neck, and then creating braids that lie flat against the scalp. Start by taking a section of hair near the hairline, divide it into three equal strands, and cross them over each other, progressively adding hair from the sides as I braid downwards.


    After completing all braids, I applied a few drops of my Roots of Longevity Avocado Oil to my fingertips and gently massage it into the braids and scalp. Then I took a small amount in the palm of my hands and rubbed them together, and gently ran my hands over the braids to add shine, moisture, and nourishment, enhancing the finished look while promoting hair health.
