Afro and Texture is a foundation discipline dedicated to understanding and working with textured hair. From coils and curls to natural afro hair, this course builds the essential knowledge and practical skills needed to work confidently and competently across all hair types.
AFRO AND TEXTURE
THE GLOBAL
HAIR COLLECTIVE APPROACH
Textured hair is not a specialism - it is a fundamental. Global Hair Collective's approach to this discipline is rooted in respect for the hair, understanding of its structure, and the belief that every hairdresser should be equipped to work with every texture that sits in their chair.
01WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The structure and behaviour of textured and afro hair, and how it differs from other hair types. How to categorise and understand the full range of coils, curl patterns, and textures. How to handle, prepare, and work with natural texture safely and effectively. The essential techniques for cutting, shaping, and finishing textured hair. The language and terminology to use and how to communicate with respect, sensitivity, and cultural awareness. And how to build the confidence to work across a full range of textures with skill and care.
02WHO THIS IS FOR
For hairdressers at any level who want to expand their knowledge and work more confidently with textured and afro hair. For those who recognise that being a complete hairdresser means being equipped to work with every client who walks through the door.
