French braiding and updos for hot weather workshop slated at college

Another sweltering Georgia summer is on its way. Instead of slogging through another heat wave with your long locks stuck in an unimaginative ponytail, come to French Braiding and Updos for Hot Weather on Tuesday, a new Dalton State Continuing Education class, and learn the beautiful art of French braiding, reverse French braiding, fish tail braiding and simple updos.

Women and girls with long hair will tell you that it can be a blessing and a curse according to Kelly Snyder, personal enrichment program coordinator for Continuing Education. Heat and humidity conspire against long hair in the dog days of summer, but there are ways to keep it looking pretty, fresh and trendy with braids and easy updos.

“Braiding can be incorporated into many adorable hairstyles,“ said Snyder. “And updos are a versatile tool for any girl to have in her styling bag of tricks. Updos can be fun, flirty or sophisticated, depending on the occasion, and our instructor is going to patiently demonstrate how to make gorgeous hot weather hair a speedy reality.”

Nicole Williams, a professional stylist and owner of Tease Salon, will demonstrate a variety of braiding methods and teach students how to create basic but gorgeous updos. Williams has been a stylist for eight years and worked at a salon in Buckhead before returning home to open her own salon. She’s taught professional classes in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

“This course will be great for family members to take together,” said Snyder. “Moms, dads and grandparents — bring your daughters and granddaughters to class and practice the different techniques on your ‘live mannequin’ during class time. You both attend for the $19 fee. Now that’s a deal.”

Registrants must bring a comb, brush, hair holders, bobby pins and spray bottle of water to class. If you are bringing a partner to class on whom to practice, please call (706) 272-4489 to register. If not, you may log on to www.daltonstate.edu/cce for more information or to register.
