Master Class Press & Curl

Master Class: The Art of the Classic Press & Curl

Course Summary
Join this immersive "look and learn" master class to master the timeless technique of the press and curl. Designed for stylists looking to elevate their textured hair services, this session provides a step-by-step demonstration of how to achieve high-shine, bouncy results without chemical relaxers.

What You Will Learn:

• The Blueprint (Consultation & Analysis): Observe a professional head analysis to identify hair type (Types 1–4), density, and porosity. Understanding these factors is critical for selecting the right products and heat settings to prevent damage.
• Foundation & Preparation: Watch the complete prep process, starting at the shampoo bowl. We will cover:
• Strategic Cleansing: Using detox and moisturizing shampoos to remove buildup that can scorch under heat.
• Product Selection: The specific role of deep conditioners and heat protectants in creating a "silk" finish.
• Thermal Mastery (The Stove & Comb): Learn the traditional "stove" method for heating pressing combs. I will demonstrate how to test temperatures and apply the "one-pass" technique to smooth the hair from root to tip while maintaining its internal integrity.
• The Finish (Curling & Styling): See how to transition from a smooth press to defined, elegant curls using a curling iron or wand. We will discuss sectioning for volume and finishing techniques that ensure the style lasts for weeks.
