Cosmetology “Highlights” – Week 6 – The Life of a Cosmetology Student

This week the Cosmetology students are learning cap highlighting.  Cap highlighting is a technique to create highlights in the hair.  It is used for clients with shorter hair and one advantage is that the hair will process at the same time and evenly.  The students put the perforated cap on their manikin and then use a tool which resembles a crochet hook to pull strands of hair through the holes in the cap.  Want to get in on the fun?  Check out all the information on our cosmetology careers.

Cosmetology “Highlights” – Week 5 – The Life of a Cosmetology Student

Week 5 brings bleaching basics.  To bleach the hair, students use chemicals to oxidize the hair which shatters the molecules allowing the color of the hair to change.  This can be a tricky step in the hair coloring process because every persons hair is unique and reacts differently to chemicals.

The students also had a guest speaker that explained the importance of having a good shears.  Shears are one of the most important tools besides a cosmetologists hands!  When looking for a good shears one must look for the type of shear, handle style, and length.

Another attempt was to wrap the hair in a spiral around rods connected to a machine with an electric heating device, then sodium hydroxide was applied and the hair was heated to 212 °F (100 °C) or more for an extended period of time.

The first attempts resulted in hair being burnt off and scalp burns.
