How to become a hairdresser..?

I have decided that I want to become a hairdresser. I’ve always loved messing with peoples hair; have always done my friends and that; love the way it allows me to express creativity. I went to a carreer expo thing a few weeks ago; and had done my hair up before I left; many of the hairdressing school stalls were asking if I’d had one of the other schools do it; some of them eve gave me their personal number to contact me because they felt just by how I’d done my own hair, that I had that much promise; but these are to proper universities for hairdressing; and I don’t have that kind of money to outlay for it. Is there another way to get into the profession? Wothout going to the universaty first? I mean, I definatly want to go at some point; but I need a job and would love to start first; and have a place train me or something. Is there a way to do this…?
I’m in Aust…

Don’t listen to any of this garbage advise that people are telling you. You learn a job by DOING IT, not by reading a textbook on the subject. I live in NYC. My office is in the Bronx. I get my haircut from Dominican women across the street. Believe me, NONE of them went to school for hairdressing. In fact, some of them may even be illegal aliens. However, I don’t care about these things. The ladies do a nice job on my hair, and I will continue to see them every few weeks.

wouldn’t economic recession/depression inspire greater creativity in the entrepreneurial sector?

I don’t know for sure, but it would seem to me that when times are tough, and money is hard to come by, that would actually lead to greater innovation, creativity, and new entrepreneurship, because it forces people to cut out the fat and focus on the basics, and to be creative and get the most mileage out of what they have to work with. On the contrary, an era of supposed "economic vitality" with all its "easy money" leads businesses to get lazy, to pork up on too high salaries and bonuses for their employees, and not enough incentive to innovate.
Furthermore, hard economic times produce a more interesting, artistic sociocultural milieu, with more interesting art and music and film…kind of bohemian like. It will help bohemians to take back their neighorhoods from yuppies now that the yuppies are losing their i-banking jobs, etc.

What do you think? Is my reasoning valid or flawed?

Of course, Yes, recession is the best period for an entrepreneur to explore, try and use his creativity. In fact, only those with unique ideas and progressive thoughts get success during recession period.

A famous poet & creative thinking scholar once told me: Creative people needs to have lots of sex. Is it true?

Perhaps he meant to say that sex is a boost towards poetic creativity? Does it applies to you? Think it’s true or no??? =)
Yes first answerer. You are absolutely correct!
He was really trying to get into my pants. Now i’m just asking all of you on the validity of such claims! =)

So why are you quoting me again? Of course it is true. I have it at least ten times a day. Ah, the mind! lol

Destructive Parenting Produces Sleep Disorder in the Young!

The existing era of human being is deprived of so many priceless values and arts of living. The knack of parenting is no exception; in fact, it tops the list. In this age and time, the art of parenting is taken for granted by all parents. They believe themselves to be born perfect parents and start acting as if they were well versed in the art of parenting. But in the long run, they turn out to be unsuccessful and precarious parents for their progeny unknowingly. As a matter of fact, parenting is no kids’ stuff. It is an arduous act of art. Parenting is like preparing or nurturing a brand new generation.

Pragmatically speaking, food determines one’s mood and parenting decides the propensity of a progeny. Therefore, a failure in rearing and caring a child can cause so many disorders in a child. If parenting is aggressive in nature, it can even paralyze a child on physical, mental and spiritual levels. There are so many parenting styles to rear and care a child and each style has a different type of demand and responsiveness, and the resulting child is different for each style. According to a pediatrician from Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital, aggressive parenting style may be the cause or effect of sleep disorders in young children.

A study was conducted by the Harriet Hiscock in which he analyzed data from 4600 families in order to find out the impact of the parenting styles on the sleep behavior of children between the ages of one and three.

As per the finding of the study, “children were nearly twice as likely to have sleep disorders that continued through the toddler years, if their mother used ‘hostile or aggressive’ parenting style as a way of caring and rearing their children. In aggressive parenting a mother or father yells or screams at them always and give physical punishment such as beating, slapping, smacking and the like rather than being cordial and loving with the baby.

Beyond any shade of doubt, it is a big responsibility to be the parents of infants and toddlers. Pro-progeny parenting requires dedicated care, including but not limited to feeding, changing diapers, bathing, potty training, ensuring safety, teaching and health care with no chagrin and aggressiveness at all. Because aggressive parenting is more likely to cause sleep disorders in the children as per findings. Sleep disorders caused by aggressive parenting may be in the form of nightmares, night terrors and sleepwalking, resistance to going to bed, awakening during the night and the like.

It must be taken into consideration that sleep disorders can have pernicious repercussion on over all health and the development of the children in the long run. So, it is strongly recommended for the conscious parents to avoid aggressive parenting and adopt pro-progeny parenting style (a style of parenting which is in favor children).

The relationship between parents and children should be such that it may encourage or motivate children to express themselves with integrity and honesty. Parents should help their children have firm faith in themselves and let them understand that their lives, feelings, actions and all that jazz are their own responsibilities. Aggressive parenting not only causes sleep disorders in children but also make children zestless, serious, diffident, imitative and timid. A parenting with understanding can help children develop an enthusiastic, confident, jovial and valiant approach to learning and living.

Instead of being aggressive they should be permissive helping children transform their natural inquisitiveness into a strong inner discipline and motivation. Parents should be cognizant of this fact that each and every individual is endowed with some gift, some talent and treasure. All they need to do is to create as much space and develop as many opportunities as possible for the child’s creativity and individuality to unfold.
