Class Experience

Let's do the "Twist" braid (and Fishtail Braid!)  Aunt Sam will teach you the how to Fishtail Braid and Twist Braid (a Twist/Rope braid that REALLY stays in.) This is a hands-on hair class. You will need both hands free to work the braid. It is preferred that the student does not use earphones, thus allowing freedom of movement. 
This course will be very interactive. The teacher will give live demonstrations of each braid as the students practice alongside. The teacher will move at the pace of the students while answering questions and giving feedback along the way. The teacher will interact with each student individually encouraging them and helping in the braiding process. 

The students will need something to practice these braids on; a mannequin (secured, preferably) a sibling, a doll (also secured tightly) or a friend with medium length, thick hair. We have found that the Friend/Mom's hair is the best to work on.  The team work makes a difference and the friend can hold sections of hair for the learner as he/she braids.

Power Points are included for review.

I started braiding my hair when I was 14, trying different braids. Now, with 6 daughters, I've braided their hair for over 25 years! I've taught all of those daughters how to braid, I look forward to teaching you!
