I try to make local rounds to major area beauty supply stores to mainly look and learn their new inventory. The beauty industry is so innovative and in the blink of an eye, there is always always something new. I cannot stress the importance of keeping up and staying ahead as a cosmetology professional with these trends but more importantly, learning to embrace, and care for REAL hair by mastering its unchanging foundation (which this product encounter reminded me of). To all cosmetology students, you are in for an exciting ride so brace yourself. Some of you (current students and professionals) may view these innovations as a threat to your business and it can be, if you are limited in skills, self-reliant on hair enhancements (weaving) only, and fail to adapt or think outside the box. We are living in do-it-yourself culture, where in a matter of seconds, anyone can find out how to do anything themselves but these ‘diy alternatives” are unmatched by the knowledge, true talent, skill, time-management, and convenience of a beauty professional. It is important to take advantage of the monetary gain this pretty cool 'cornrow wig cap” (that I so wish I would have made) may present than to complain about the potential effect on your business. I also saw several braided wigs for sale as well. These options are being entertained by women who are tired of their edges being snatched, tension, and/or being in the salon (or your house) forever! Don’t be discouraged…be aware and adapt if you feel the need. There is nothing like being able to also do real hair REAL well…it will forever be here if there is a shortage on weave/extensions...let’s get back to it and stay ahead of the current!!! #nappyrepublic #esgd #NRHC #thermalbar #stitchbar #braidbar #revivebar #recessionbar #chemicalbar #dallas #dallashair #beautysupply #extensions #cornrowwigcap #innovation #beauty #hairstylist #hairprofessional #weaver #extensionspecialist.
