You have just completed a course of education in the cosmetology industry. Now what? Here’s what you should do next:

- Party! You want to celebrate this great accomplishment, don’t you? Throw yourself a big party to celebrate that you’ve just graduated. You might even want to offer beauty treatments to your friends at the party for an added bit of fun.

- Go shopping for college diploma frames. You’ll need to put your certificate of completion into a college diploma frame so that you can post it at the salon when you get your first job.

- Get yourself a makeover. It’s very important that people in the beauty business look their best. Do you? If not then it could be time for an overhaul of your own.

- Start looking for jobs. The goal of graduating from a beauty school program is typically to get a job in this industry. After you’ve celebrated the accomplishment of graduating, you should start looking for your first job. Don’t be discouraged if it takes you a little while to find work; that’s to be expected when you’ve first graduated. The job will come along and you’ll be working in the beauty business in no time.

If you’re pining for careers in holistic medicine like that of renowned Doctor Andrew Weil, it’s important that you pursue the right educational path to get on the road to fulfilling your professional aspirations.Like this natural medical doctor, there are many careers in holistic medicine that integrate a number of natural health medicines with conventional medical wisdom. For example, to become a holistic medical doctor (Holistic M.D.), candidates must have acquired appropriate training and education through a traditional medical college, in addition to supplementary training in holistic and natural preventative medicine.

Other prospective careers in holistic medicine that you may wish to explore include chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy or naturopathy. To become a chiropractic doctor, you will need to attain licensure to practice. This, in addition to obtaining minimum education and training of 4,200 hours from an accredited chiropractic school or university.

Careers in holistic medicine like acupuncture and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) also require an ample amount of education and training. In addition to meeting prerequisite training, potential acupuncturists and Oriental medicine practitioners must attain education in the history and philosophies of TCM, acupuncture and needling techniques, meridian therapy, Chinese herbal medicine, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Chinese medical language, among other subject matter.

Homeopathy and naturopathy are similar careers in holistic medicine. The difference between the educational programs, however, is that naturopathy offers a more in-depth curriculum; in addition to homeopathic remedies, naturopathic doctors offer diverse natural health services including acupuncture, massage therapy, and other related modalities.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in learning more about these or other healing arts occupations, let professional training within fast-growing industries like massage therapy, naturopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Reiki, and others get you started!

Natural Hair Products

Okay, I’ve been wearing my hair natural for about 6 years now. I’ve been frustrated trying to find a consistent person to cut my hair the way I like it. I’m a cosmetologist, so I am allowed to be picky. Another frustration is finding hair products to define my natural curl (I’m a 4ab; thick density, and color-treated), impart moisture to my dry hair, and add shine.

Last semester while I was researching on the web for a cosmetology theory class I was teaching, I ran across a few videos in You Tube where women were making their own homemade hair products. I thought that it was interesting; but due to my hectic life at the time, I didn’t pursue it.

Now, some months, later I ran across some bulk shea butter in one of my dresser drawers. I had just finished doing my hair color and was in the conditioning phase. I melted some of it in the microwave just as I had saw the young lady do on You Tube. I rinsed out the conditioner, towel dried my hair, and put some of the melted shea butter in my hair. WOW! It felt so soft after it dried and was shiny.

I didn’t know that the shea butter would harden as it cooled. I then began my web search on homemade hair products for natural hair. I found several:
