I did something this week that I am proud of. I did my first chemical relaxer. (straightning the hair with chemicals) When I went to beauty school 12 years ago they didn't really teach chem. relaxing. They showed us one day how to do it but since it wasn't part of our state board exam at that time, they didn't dwell on it.
I have learned so much outside of school than I did in school. I always tell people that I went to "bargain basement beauty school". And it really is the truth, they taught us really only what we needed to pass boards. In one way its good that I have learned so much working because I was getting paid and not paying for it.
