Texture In Session
Masterclass: Textured Session Styling — Curly, Straight & Updo Techniques
Elevate your session styling with an intensive masterclass led by an award-winning textured hair specialist. Designed for hairstylists and makeup artists currently working in or aspiring to enter the session market.
What you'll learn
Texture-first approach: Understand hair at its structural and conceptual levels—porosity, density, natural patterning, and how texture informs style choices for camera and movement.
Curly and coily techniques: Cutting-edge detangling, definition, and shrinkage management methods; pattern-preserving styling for both natural and enhanced curls; product selection and layering for long-lasting hold without stiffness.
Straight and blown techniques: Precision blowouts and smoothing methods that maintain body and movement; creating sleek, camera-ready finishes that withstand lights, humidity, and long hours on set.
Ponytail perfection: Sculptural and wearable ponytails that read on camera—anchoring, balance, texture blending, and rapid transformation strategies for quick changes between looks.
Hair health and integrity on set: Protective styling practices, heat and chemical considerations, and techniques to minimize damage during repeated styling.
