This comprehensive approach provides continuous professional development and cultural understanding covering the 4c’s:

Conversation: Talking honestly and openly about why Hairstylists may be afraid and apprehensive to work with Textured hair, and may find it challenging. This conversation is a non-judgmental opportunity to be open and truly honest about your relationship with Textured Hair.

Confidence: Hairstylists will begin to grow in confidence as they develop the foundational skills to overcome challenges in the industry and within their own communities socially and economically. It will allow you to move confidently within communities unlike your own.
