How does a blind woman put on make-up and do her hair?
With some practice in the beginning, blind women can do their make-up and hair just like sighted women. It is often helpful to work with someone who can show us some techniques when we are first learning. We can feel the different ways of drying, curling, or styling our hair. We can feel when the hair is right, or if we have missed a spot. We can apply make-up by touch, by feeling the places where we want the make-up to be. Some of us learn the colours that are best for us by asking people whose opinions we trust, until we discover what we like best. Like sighted women, some blind women like wearing make-up and styling their hair more than others.
