'My hair just burnt off'- Tutorial gone wrong



Everyone and their mama is a YouTube guru. You have natural hair gurus, makeup gurus, weight loss gurus, relationship gurus, spaghetti and meatball gurus... But 80% of these folks have no training. (Home training or otherwise...lol)

I don't really have issues with gurus, I just know better than to follow instructions from folks who have nothing to back up what they are saying beyond trial and error. This poor young lady, Tori Locklear, is the reason why.

She's doing a tutorial on the curling wand. I watched a similar tutorial from an actual licensed cosmetologist just last week. And as soon as this poor girl wound her hair around the wand, I saw trouble trouble trouble!

I'm not saying you have to go to school to know what to do with hair or makeup or anything else, but I am saying it sure does help! You can have an "oops" on a dummy's head instead of a living breathing person's head.

I learned my lesson when I was about 13. I went to a beauty school to get a relaxer. There was a lady there who was near graduation and she always did a great job on my mom. However, this time, they let a trianee do mine. OMG! That woman almost burned off my entire head! I mean my hair was glued to my seared scalp. It was tragic!

Anyway, I watch some YouTube people all the time. They have great videos and tutorials on this or that, so they are not all bad. However, I take most of it with a grain of salt.
