Types of up-do hair styles

Romantic
A romantic updo is popular for the evening gown portion of the pageant, and is good for those with long, wavy or naturally curly hair. Use a large-barrel curling iron to create long, loose curls. Then use bobby pins to pin up small sections of hair from above your temples and at the crown of your head to create a cascading effect down your back. Set the updo with a mist of loose-hold hairspray to keep it looking its best under the hot lights of the pageant stage.
Edgy
If you are the type of pageant queen who doesn't like to be traditional, consider an edgy updo. This hairstyle works best for girls with short to medium hair. Use a flat iron and straightening creme to get the stick-straight look, flipping out the ends to create texture. Pull the back into a messy bun, allowing the ends to fan out. Secure with a few bobby pins. This style looks especially good with a thin hairband pulled over the front, and leaves plenty of space for that all-important pageant crown. This look works for a more casual pageant, or for the swimsuit portion.
Classic
If you are the consummate classic beauty queen, you probably want a pageant updo that stands the test of time. Try this modern twist on the classic French twist. Begin with clean, straight hair, and use a comb to back comb the crown to create a small bump. Gather your hair into a ponytail. Twist and invert the ponytail, and roll it into itself. Secure this roll to the back of your head with bobby pins. You should have a classic French twist, but with a little flair in the volume at your crown. This looks goes perfectly with all portions of the pageant, but looks particularly sophisticated during the interview portion.

Roller Setting Technique

Roller Setting is considered to be one of the healthiest styling methods for the hair. By using an indirect heat source (a hood dryer), the hair is able to retain more moisture and natural sheen. With this styling method, you will start to see stronger, healthier hair in no time!
This is not the ONLY way to roller set but I find it to be one of the easiest.
Tools:
1) Wide Tooth Comb2) Rattail3) Magnetic rollers4) Duckbill Clip5) Water Bottle 6) Leave-in Conditioner 7) Serum

Instructions:
1) Wash and Condition hair as usual
2) After rinsing out conditioner, leave hair soaking wet and put a plastic shower cap over wet hair.
3) Apply leave-in and serum concentrating on the ends. Fill your water bottle with the mixture of your choice: 1) plain ole water, 2) water and setting lotion, 3) liquid leave-in or 4) water and oil.
Sidenote - I get the silkiest, bounciest and straightest by using just leave-in, serum and water. I get the firmest curls when I use setting lotion (diluted or not) I get the most hydrated set (but less bounce) when I use a moisturizer with my leave-in and serum.

Advance Student color time Factors

The darker the natural hair color ,the more melanin it has.The more melanin it has ,the longer it takes to lighten or diffuse the color to give a lighter appearance to the hair. The amount of time needed to lighten the natural color is also influenced by the porosity. Porous hair of the same color level will lighten faster than hair that is nonporous because the bleaching agent can enter the cortex more rapidly.

The part of a roller curl

Base: The panel of hair the roller is placed on. The base should be the same length and width as the roller. The type of base detemines the volume.
