I was deep into preparing for a major hair show competition that required weeks of intense, creative styling and product development, which completely overlapped with a tedious business certification exam that was necessary but totally irrelevant to the art I was focusing on. The sheer pressure of perfecting my technique while trying to memorize abstract facts for that test led to major burnout, and I honestly had a moment where I just thought, "I need someone to take my exam," just so I could clear that logistical hurdle and put all my energy back into my true passion which is what actually drives the beauty trends in this industry.
