Want to learn how to do hair at home as a hobby. Where to start?
Hey everyone! I’m looking for some advice on getting started with doing hair at home. I really enjoy styling my own natural hair, and I’d love to start learning more hairstyles, especially things like braids, braided styles, and adding extensions to braids. Eventually, I’d love to be good enough to do other people’s hair too, but I’m not sure where to start or what I should learn first. I’m mainly interested in doing this as a hobby rather than starting a business, so I’m just looking to build my skills and have fun with it. For those of you who learned how to braid or style hair yourselves: What did you start with? What tools/products would you recommend getting? Did you practice on yourself, a mannequin, or other people? Are there any classes, YouTube channels, or other resources you recommend? How did you learn things like adding extensions to braids? I’m also open to taking classes if there are any good ones in the Salem/Boston area. I’d really appreciate any advice or recommendations! 😊
