Reflection #9

          My project is to learn how to braid hair, install, and style hair. So, my coach did not allow me to install her weave, but it is okay after I finish this project she will beg me to do it. This past week, I began braiding the circle and it is very time consuming since I am not the best braider and I have to spin my hair doll every few seconds. I know it must be ten times harder braiding on a human being. In class, I researched the vixen weave installation process and I found it very interesting. Basically, the vixen sew in allows the hair to be more versatile. Regular sew ins do not allow high ponytails and buns. The stylist leaves a path in between the cross-section of the hair and installs the hair in four separate quadrants. By leaving hair out in the middle, it allows space for parts in the hair and helps the hair move more freely. The video I watched that taught me some of this information is "

The BEST EVER Vixen Weave Installation with Sassy Mitchell Hair" on youtube. I actually really like this style and might do this one for my end project. Researching this style makes me want to get this weave, but I feel as if this weave is not a good protective style because of the amount of hair still left out that will still need to be continuously styled. Next week, I will continue my circle braiding and look into more techniques.
