🌟NEW TO OUTSCHOOL? Use the code AUNTSAM2020 for $20 credit. That means this class is FREE! Are you braider? Need some review? Want to learn? Aunt Sam will review the basics of braiding, then teach French braiding and Dutch Braiding. 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. There will not be a presentation or a lecture, rather 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. After instruction, we will have one-on-one instruction and help. It is expected that the students will have something on which to practice these braids on a secured mannequin, a sibling, a doll with long, thick hair or a friend. The students will be learning: - Basic French & Dutch braids. The lesson will involve how to French braid and a Dutch braid. These 2 types of braids are the foundation of nearly every braided hairstyle. We will move in a natural progression so that students are prepared for each stage and do not become overwhelmed. I also include a PowerPoint with pictures of each step in the French Braid for review. See you in class!
