If This Hair Journey Were A School...

I started my hair journey in late 2007 when I found out I was expecting my first child. I researched ways to stretch my relaxer and look presentable. This led to me wearing wigs and weaves. Eventually I relaxed after I had him and I started with protective styles. My journey has lasted a decade.

I have a PHD in haircare yall:kiss3:

I barely made it out of HS, went to college and did well, then life got to me and I fell off, now I’m back again, but not focusing and sticking to good study habits because I’m desperate to be done and graduate undergrad! :lachen: I have been in this hair game for years. I take time off and enjoy my hair, get a new hobby, or decide I want length again. I have been to cosmetology school, and I am a professional certified skin care therapist. I love things all hair health related.
I would say I am a professional student! Lol

I'd be the Nutty Professor, with tenure!

I've got books, papers, notes and analyses every where! All of which is about hair. My little abode's floor is strewn with books and my shelves and cabinets are filled with hair care products and separate ingredients waiting to be cooked up into my own hair concoctions!

I'd be the student who dropped out of community college freshman year and went backpacking in Europe to "find myself", only to lose all my money and call my family to get me back home and now I'm back in college, this time a university switched majors almost finished with my bachelors maintaining a high GPA this time around.

On break
I'm the student who is used to attending a brick and mortar university (professional salons) but has transferred to a reputable online university (LHCF + reputable bloggers and YouTubers).

So I'm adjusting. For instance, some semesters I enroll in too heavy a course load. I often then compensate the subsequent semester and lighten my load.

I've completed several courses and really enjoy my e-instructors and e-classmates. They are generous, funny, fun, creative, and deeply knowledgeable. Most importantly, they are positive, inspiring, and encouraging.

A transcript is not complete without the grades earned. Otherwise it's just a list of courses. So what grades did you get, YvetteWithJoy?
