Self taught hairstylist ✨

These are some styles that I’ve done over the years Ive done others I just haven’t taken pictures of them. Which sucks because they were cute styles.

... Read moreBeing a self-taught hairstylist is a journey filled with creativity and constant learning. While formal education provides foundational knowledge, many hairstylists develop their unique flair through trial, error, and practical experience. Documenting your work, such as taking photos of your styles, plays a crucial role in tracking progress and building a personal portfolio. This portfolio not only helps in attracting new clients but also encourages growth by visually reflecting on your skills. Many hairstylists find inspiration from social media platforms, tutorial videos, and even fellow hairstylists, which help in expanding their technique repertoire. Experimenting with various hair textures, lengths, and styles enhances versatility and adaptability in hairstyling. Some popular self-taught hairstylists focus on timeless classics, while others push creative boundaries with avant-garde styles. To improve your craft, practicing on friends, family, or mannequins is invaluable before moving on to clients. Additionally, investing time in understanding hair care, product knowledge, and client consultation techniques ensures a comprehensive approach to hairstyling. Social media presence, combined with authentic storytelling of your learning journey, can significantly elevate your recognition and opportunities in the beauty industry. Remember, every stylist started somewhere; the key is perseverance, passion, and an eagerness to learn. Over time, your documented styling work becomes a testament to your evolving skills and creativity, inspiring others who aspire to follow a similar path.

🖤Fear Taught Me Silence
💙Even when the danger is gone, fear doesn’t just disappear, it grows up with you turning into overthinking, emotional distance, or self-silencing. 💙Healing doesn’t start by forcing yourself to “speak up.” It starts by meeting the scared version of you. 💙Safety is the antidote to fear not logi

God Taught Me What Self-Love Really Means

Late 20s taught me what no self-help book could!
What I’ve learned in my late 20s? That peace is expensive, and not everyone deserves access to you. That being the strong one gets lonely, but boundaries are a form of self-love. That healing isn’t linear—some days I’m glowing, some days I’m grieving old versions of me. That “soft life”

what love has quietly taught me
i used to believe love had to be loud—fireworks, grand gestures, butterflies all the time. but the more i’ve grown, the more i’ve realised that real love is quiet. it’s in how you’re spoken to when you’re hurting. it’s in feeling safe, even in silence. it’s choosing someone even on the boring days.
