Learning requires positive mindset, patience like you have listed. Hair making is one passion I love so much and I was shocked how I learned weaving on my own by just practicing on my cousin's hair. I can make braids too. Though I won't be as fast as a professional but the end result would be seamless.
Acquiring these skills are sure plus for us, you are really talented and I love tje finished look of that hair. Well done sis and keep striving higher.
