In the morning sessions at Shikota Nagar, Ms. Maheshwari Lohar led the training for 20 girls.

Following this, the focus shifted to hair styling, where the girls were introduced to creative and trendy hairstyles suitable for various occasions. Practical demonstrations were also given on the use of a hair straightener, teaching the safe handling of equipment, heat protection, and achieving sleek, smooth results. Finally, the session concluded with techniques for creating hair curls, including methods using curling irons as well as simple, no-heat techniques.

In the afternoon sessions at Kishanwadi, Ms. Roshniben Makwana conducted a similar series of workshops for 22 girls. The sessions ensured that participants gained hands-on experience in all four areas-hair cutting, styling, straightening, and curling. With a strong focus on practice, each girl was given the opportunity to try out the techniques under the trainer’s guidance, boosting both their confidence and skill level.

 Overall, these training batches not only taught the technical aspects of hairstyling but also helped the girls understand hygiene, professional presentation, and client handling, thus preparing them with essential skills for possible employment or self-employment in the beauty care sector.
