Finger waves, finger waves, finger waves!

Wanda and I had another night of C shaping and finger waves and I'm really getting the hang of it! Today was the first time we did an entire head of waves, instead of working in individual sections. This definitely added some difficultly, because we had to connect the waves around the entire head and style the hair all the way to the nape of the neck.

I figured out how to finish off my front sections with a pin curl at the bottom and I love how retro these styles are turning out! My instructor asked me today if I had been to cosmetology school before - what a huge compliment! I'm so ecstatic that I'm picking things up quickly, especially since I was worried about having the right skills to do well in school. It's one thing to have passion, but it's an entirely different thing to be good, so I'm glad I have a little bit of both right now :)

Today was our first day in theory class, although we didn't do much learning. We are joining the class in Chapter 7 and will work our way through the entire book then start at the beginning again until we hit Chapter 7 again. The class we are joining has about 15 people in it and they are all night students too. We spent almost the entire class time (about one hour) doing introductions and talking about how the class will work and what our assignments will be most weeks. Chapter 7 is all about the layers of the skin and it's a short chapter so we should be done by next Thursday. Time is really gonna fly at this pace!

Right now I'm trying to finish my workbook pages for Chapter 7 before I go to bed. Jason Aldean is keeping me company with some country jams from his latest album :)

I'm unfortunately missing my first Saturday class for a weekend trip I've had planned for a little while. We don't go to theory on Saturdays, but I asked my practical instructor and it looks like I'll be missing a day of pin curls, C shapings, and finger waves :( I hope Wanda doesn't miss me too much...
