Hairdressing Models Real Or Fake

By Dennis E. Price


Students who wish to start on a hairdressing course will find out they will be asked to practise lots of time with a lot of training included in the course. Studying your course work by books will help you learn the techniques required to learn your hairdressing skills. This is all well and good but to improve the next level will be to practise on artificial models. There are several different techniques which you can do to improve which may involve live or synthetic heads of models.

Did you know that hairdressing students are unable to practice on live people until they are qualified. Until then they need to settle with using synthetic models for colouring and possible prom, graduation or latest trendy styles which are all the rave. As well as practicing on models they can also view hairdressers work in saloons while in training.

One thing which is not allowed and is cutting hair on a dummy. The reason is simple because any mistakes can not corrected as the hair is not real and will not grow. This is a big disadvantage to other pupils who may require to sit an exam and will not be able to use the dummy with the bad hair cut.

After a student has completed a certain part of the course their instructor's may consider them for training on real models rather than heads alone. This will be completed with great care and skill passed down from hairdressers who have worked in the industry for a long time and know how to handle different hairdressing clients. By using this style of management students can learn of the important ingredients which go into hairdressing.

Hairdressers who are just learning may wish to jump right in and start with live models and may think working on fake heads is not hairdressing do not realise the potential for growth in their confidence when it is their turn to work with their own clients.

Hairdressers of the future will learn to adapt and perfect their hairdressing skills by lots of practice.
