Drawing hair in pencil

http://www.howtodothings.com/fashion-and-personal-care/a2795-how-to-cut-your-own-hair.html

This is just amazing. I have tried to draw hair and have found it to be a real challenge. The pencil drawing books that we used for style selection were always faves of mine in the shop. They were great for really seeing lengths, movement and sirection. They were a great tool for accurate consultation and creating very satiafied clients as they created realistic expectations.

neat-O!

Interesting question

Interesting question here. I see hair all the time.. on celebs, on real people, o catalog models that I would like to have... problem is, since I am typically short... most all of them require patience and growth from whereever I am at...

Notes from London, Mark Woolley

Mark Woolley and his team

Shared the stage with them at salon International. Great talent. Awesome hair styles. Hot models. Denman, our UK distributor and makers of the best brushes on the planet… the only ones I will use… commissioned them to do a video on classic blow drying. The video is called Esssential blow drying. I have not sat down to watch the entire thing yet, but have seen segments as they were running it on TVs at the booth during their presentation. The point of their program was essential foundations for success in styling. These guys do a lot of editorial work. They did 3 models each segment… in most cases re-using the same models so we got to see multiple looks. My fave was a short tapered style that I saw done 3 different ways. All 3 were great looking, salon marketable and real. Nice job team Electric. I look forward to watching the entire video. You can get it here:

Small Tragedy

Small Tragedy

I was sharing the stage at Salon International with Mark Woolley and his team from Electric salon… More on them later this week… so I had to pack up my things and shove off for a bit 2X per day. No biggie there as I prefer to be a nice neighbor and share my space. First change over I put all my things into my green bag and put my green bag back stage. Did not notice that a brand spankin’ new pink BCA can of Kenra Volume Spray was upside down. By the time I got back to my bag the can was empty and the bag was filled with a puddle of volume spray. This is a tragedy on several levels… Number 1… wasted a can of Volume Spray… and as good as that stuff it… shame to waste it. Number 2… puddle in bag is firm hold and sticky… so were all my tools and equipment. Number 3… bottom of bag is never going to come clean… Number 4, there was a package of frosted strawberry poptarts from the airport in Chicago in the bottom of a pocket… now ruined… and I am half a world away from more poptarts. I get home to Chicago and share this tragedy. My kid puts his head in the bag and says… “hey, well, at least the bag smells good”. Nice. Love the Kenra Volume Spray #25… Got to get another one… at least it is the pink one for BCA so a donation is involved.
