EThekwini Municipality’s Durban Fashion Fair (DFF) recently launched another initiative to provide training in the creative sector, that of a three day hair training workshop in partnership with Sofn’ Free.
The aim of the hair training workshop was to up skill local hairstylists with fundamental hairstyling techniques to provide them with industry trends and expertise to sustain and increase their knowledge. Also to assist hairstylists to grow their business within their chosen field of hairdressing.
During the hair training workshop, training provided included that of theory as well as practical exercises, educating the participating hairdressers on various hair products as well as showcased a number of the latest hair trends.
The hairstylists were also provided the opportunity to perfect cutting techniques, blow-drying for all hair types, styling for “all occasions”, as well as learning to create the perfect avant-garde look.
A total of twenty hairdressers participated in the hair training workshop and were then judged by top hair stylists, Musa Gcaba from Sofn’ Free and Ricci Pillay from the Coastal KZN TVET College – Durban Campus who were given the difficult task of selecting the top three who then received a Sofn’ Free hamper.
The overall consensus from all the participants of the hair training workshop was a positive one, with all having enjoyed the experience, found it to be very informative and beneficial and one even joked what a fun “hair raising” experience she had.
