What to expect at The Session Hairschool?

Lesson 1 · Basics of Hairstyling

A strong knowledge of the different hair types is a must. You learn to perfectly prep hair for styling, from quick dry techniques and volume blow-drying to the perfect prep and finish for textured and curly hair. So you work faster and more effectively.

Lesson 2 · Texture & Structure

Create the right texture and structure and you tell a story: the foundation of every hairdo. From curls and waves the classic way and romance to sleek, dead straight and natural curly hair with tools.

Lesson 3 · Big Hair

One of the hardest techniques, but oh so rewarding once you master it. You learn to create the supermodel look, add length and volume and fill in with extensions, from big and curly to textured and creative big hair.

Lesson 4 · Ponytails & Updos

The influence of Fashion Week looks is everywhere: in editorials, commercials, on the street and on the red carpet. In this lesson you learn the foundation and execution of classic and modern hairdos, from the perfect ponytail to the French twist, 50's hair and prêt-à-porter updos.

Lesson 5 · Wetlooks & Highshine

A fashion staple you cannot ignore: wetlooks. With the right products and techniques you achieve beautiful, long-lasting shapes, from the sexy editorial wetlook to the sculptured creative wetlook. We also take a trip back to the origin of the trend: the Roaring 20's.
