My biggest Passion: Hair

I asked myself many times "What is my passion in life?", and I just couldn't decide whether it would be baking, drawing, or doing sports, these are some of the things I might say I'm good at and practice them pretty much everyday, and recently I started doing hair, and I realized that this is my passion, something that brings me satisfaction each time, something I'm striving to get better at. When I was home alone with my 10 year old sister a while back, I got really bored and asked her  if I could do hair for her and she didn't mind, so I took some simple hair tools like a straightener, a comb, bobby pins and decided to do uncomplicated, elegant, random hair-updo. It turned out decent so after that, I fell in love with doing hair, and practiced more and more every day on my beautiful sister, though each time I asked her if I can do her hair, she wouldn't let me, unless I turned on a movie for her which I found to be quite a fair deal.

For this project, I couldn't decide which book to pick because there aren't many books based on Hair so I found a great one which has many tips and secrets on doing hair, "Secrets of How to Become a Successful Hairstylist" by Max Roman. One of his tips that he shared which helped me a lot was "Patience and Loyalty", he says " There are many young stylists that immediately expect to be highly successful and eventually own their salon. While it is a great aspiration, one must understand that it is a huge undertaking" (15, Roman). you can't just accomplish everything right away, you need patience. Patience is the key to success, and it is hard sometimes. Each time I do hair, I get very stressed if something goes wrong, and I used to just give up, but after getting an advise from Max about being patient, I understood that its a very important lesson that one must follow. If anything goes wrong, you just gotta be patient. Max Roman quoted "Have Patience. Everything is difficult before it gets easy" (17, Roman)

The picture below shows my progress on doing hair. First picture is actually my 1st hairstyle that I did which I mentioned earlier. Second one was for my friend; her sister was getting married and she asked me to do an elegant hair-updo for her . I also did the bride's hair which was truly a magnificent experience. Third hair-updo I did was for my really good friend Jennifer, and I would say that this is my favorite one. Fourth hairstyle was for my other sister, Nadia, and her hair is very long plus thick so it was hard to work with it, I needed lots of patience but after two hours, I did indeed accomplish that desired look i wanted to have for my client. I'm going to add that all these hairstyles are mine meaning I came up with an idea for all of them. So, one of the main keys to being successful with doing hair would be "Having Patience".
