Carol attended high school in Milwaukee but never graduated. As many students, Carol struggled through the difficult teenage years, even attempting suicide. It was a bleak time in her life.

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!
