RESEARCH PAPER Thesis: The history of highlighting and coloring hair
dates back as far as ancient Egyptian times. For a person to get a complete understanding of the procedure of highlighting hair, it is necessary to be knowledgeable of the chemical makeup of hair, the steps to take in order to highlight someone’s hair and the reaction that the dye will have on a person's hair. For someone looking to pursue hair design as a career, it will be important to know the training and experience needed.
Fun Fact 1: The porosity of ones hair will effect how long it will take for the hair dye to process before being removed.
Fun Fact 2: Women in ancient European times would use hair color to indicate class in society.
MY PHYSICAL PROJECT I have spent 15 hours working with my mentor and on my
own to complete this piece of my project. The first 3.5 hours was spent answering mentor questions
and observing her interact in her shop. The next 5 hours was spent observing two full head
highlights and gathering materials. After I received the mannequin I made it look pretty, which
took an hour and a half. (Yes, an hour and a half) I took my mannequin head to my mentor and she trimmed
the hair and showed me techniques on highlighting. This took 2 hours.
I went home and practiced the techniques I was showed. This took 3 hours.
I put those techniques to good use by actually applying bleach this time. This took 2.5 hours
WHAT I LEARNED Different techniques to highlight hair How far apart each foil should be How to foil hair to make it look professional
(This was hard) How to check the porosity of hair
SUCCESSES
Making the mannequin look as good as it did Finding a good mentor Completing a full head highlight on my own
CHALLENGES
Finding time to meet with my mentor. Getting a mannequin head Making the foils as crisp as possible Changing my project slightly
MENTOR REFLECTION I found the perfect mentor! Her name is
Tonya Green. She owns her own hair salon in Candler and has been doing hair for 23 years. She went to the Carolina School of Hair Design for 1 year.
CONCLUSION
Highlighting hair was a very fun thing to learn and do. I do not plan on continuing this as a profession but definitely as a hobby.
