COMMUNICATIONS WRITING TASK

Before Istarted college in 2011 I did not have a lot of experience in hair dressing. Ihave gained all my skills in hairdressing in the past few months and havepassed all my assessments first time so far. This shows I am a fast learner. Inow have experience in cutting, colouring and putting hair up. Even though Ihave not been doing hairdressing for long, I am confident in cutting, colouringand doing hair up’s. I think I deserve to represent Britainin the Bronner Brothers’ Hair Convention in Atlanta in May 2012, as I am new to thehairdressing industry and have original and exciting ideas that could gain mefirst place in this competition.

Hairstyles:

To achieve this look you must start off by washing the hairwith a volumising shampoo and conditioner and then give the hair a nice smoothblow – dry. Once the hair is all dry apply a smoothing balm to the hair to getrid of any fly away hairs. Then you can start to put the hair up. Begin withthe front section and use a comb to make the hair bend into the shape in thepicture, twisting it in the middle to help it stay in. Once you get to thecrown, pin it up and then start working on the back. It is a French roll at theback and set to the side so pull all hair over to the right and roll forwardtowards the ear. Pin this in and finish by applying hairspray (strong hold).

For this look you will need to wash the hair with volumisingshampoo and conditioner and apply a volumising mousse. Blow dry the hair withlots of volume using a large heat retainer brush. Once the hair is dry apply aheat protection spray and start to put in heated rollers (medium – smallsized). Once these cool, take them out and spray the curls with hairspray asthey fall. Once they are all taken out, run your fingers through the hair toloosen the waves and give it a softer look. To finish apply more hair spray anduse the wand for any bits that need further styling.

This style looks very complicated but is actually quite asimple look to achieve. The hair should be washed with a smoothing shampoo andconditioner and blow dried straight, flat and smooth with little volume. Oncethe hair is dry scrape it all back into a high pony tail and secure with abobble. The three hair pieces should be similar in size. Use the smallest oneclosest to the face and go up in size towards the back. Pin the pony tail up ina tight bun and place the first piece just on top of it, secure it withkirbies. Do the same with the next two but moving down the head. Use hairsprayto secure at the end.

This style is done by sectioning the hair from the crown.Use the front section of hair to French plait from the crown travelling downtowards the ear on the opposite side. The rest of the hair can be gathered upat the side that the plait is finished at and folded smoothly into a bun. Thislook can be finished off with a flower which can sit on top of the bun.

Before I started Hairdressing I was a student at the University of the West of Scotland and I was studying primary teaching. I decided it wasn't for me and had always been interested in hairdressing so I started studying at James Watt college in august 2011. I would like to have a career in hairdressing as I enjoy it and it's always better to do something you enjoy as a career. I would like to be able to have my own business eventually. I would say I was inspired by my own hairdressers rather than famous ones. I am really enjoying this course so far.
