Mousse is more than just something you put on braids at the end. 👀

Understanding what a product actually does helps you choose the right product for the result you’re trying to achieve — instead of simply using it because you’ve seen other hairstylists use it.

As a hairstylist, product knowledge is part of your skill.

The more you understand your products, the better you can work with different hair and create better results.

You don’t have to know how to do every hairstyle to call yourself a hairstylist.

What matters is knowing what you can do, what you can’t do, and being honest about the difference.

Master your craft. Practice before you charge. Know your limits. And never let a client become your practice model just because you’re afraid to say, “I don’t know how to do that yet.”

There is confidence in saying “I don’t know” — and even more confidence in knowing what to do next.

This week, our students explored how to create different curl patterns on braids using hot water and coiling rods. 🔥 Each student created a unique result, showing just how many possibilities there are when you understand the technique.

Next week, we take it a step further—learning how to create different curl patterns without using coiling tools. ✨

Today’s lesson? Cornrow patterns. 🧠✨

Great hairstylists don’t just know how to braid—they know how to create clean, intentional patterns that elevate every style. That’s what we’re working on in class.

I didn’t show everything in this video though… 🤭

If you wanted the full lesson, you should’ve been in class today. 😉 But the second-best time to be in class is tomorrow.
