Class:  Hair Science 
Age: 9-13

This is an 8-week comprehensive hair course that aims to provide a well-rounded understanding of various hair-related topics for students aged 9 to 13. 

Learners will be introduced to hair science and how it relates to them.  I utilize Power Points, props, diagrams, printouts, class discussions, etc.  Students will also be given quizzes and games to reinforce learning. Throughout each class, I encourage students to ask questions and explore their own interests within the realm of hair science.
