| This course is designed to get you
on your way to being a hair artist or loctitian. Braid artists
earn between $10 and $60 per hour, depending on their local economy
and the complexity of the style. This course is also a good course
for new parents of children of African descent who have no experience
with it, or home health care providers and volunteers who take care
of people of African descent. |

Although it focusses on African hairstyles,
it
also covers creating cornrows and dreadlocks in all hair textures of all
ethnicities. This course is illustrated so that whatever can't
be explained well with words, you'll see pictures of. There is also
a video demonstration.

manual dexterity and the ability to follow instructions, and some experience
