Takeaways:

Effective time management is crucial when juggling multiple roles in the hair industry, such as being a hairdresser, educator, and content creator.

Understanding and embracing neurodiversity can enhance the learning experience for both educators and students, allowing for more inclusive and effective teaching methods.

Instagram and TikTok offer different opportunities for hairdressers to showcase their work and engage with their audience. While TikTok can be unpredictable, Instagram provides a more stable and community-focused platform.

Hairdressers can benefit from using TikTok as a discovery platform to reach new audiences and potentially gain more exposure for their work.

When using social media, it's important to set boundaries and manage the negative aspects, such as hate comments or overwhelming engagement. 

Protect your peace and mental health by setting boundaries and practicing self-care.

Incorporate meditation and morning rituals to maintain a healthy mindset.

Embrace your own journey and avoid comparing yourself to others in the industry.
