More Hair STRESS!

Back in the day when my mom went to Cosmetology School she learned how to highlight hair in a cap. Those days are long gone.

She said when the new "FOIL HIGHLIGHTING" came out she was doomed.

She had no where to learn the new technique and no clients who wanted to be tested on.

She would practice on me when I was in high school. But she didn't get far. It takes a lot of practice and multiple heads of hair to get the hang of it and to gain the speed to do a head of hair in an hour rather than 4hours (that was my time on my very first foil client).

She doesn't do much color these days because she didn't keep up with the trend.

Lately I feel like her.

I fear that foiling will no longer be wanted and that the new technique called "melting" or the "ombre" hair will take over. It's very popular. Not every one wants it, but a lot do. AND I NEED TO LEARN IT! I have been goggling and you tubing how to do it. There are so many ways to do it and really for me to get good and not loose my skill with the times It need to get my hands dirty!

I need practice. I need to take a class. I also need to take a color class. There are so many new color lines now and they do amazing things. I was told in school to bleach everything and tone if you need to. So I do and that is what I am comfortable with. And my colors turn out good. But I probably use too many steps to get there.

I FEEL LIKE I AM LOOSING IT!

I can't loose it like my mom. That is too sad. Too much money and time to throw away.

I want my kids to WANT me to cut and color their hair when they are old enough to. I want to do the new trends and styles that will be around when that time comes.

I'm totally getting stressed about it!!!!!
