Myths about textured hair
Quote from KirstyMaws on April 22, 2024, 1:25 pmWhat are some myths out there and can we debunk them?
Here is one I am going to leave here.
Question: Only people with darker skin have curly/texture hair.
Debunk Answer:
If you’re looking at skin colour to determine the texture of hair then you’re going to make some big mistakes… Curly texture and indeed afro hair are on all skin colours. Assess the hair with a thorough consultation and ask about ethnicity if you feel it’s appropriate to do so. I would also look to the science see the eduction tab on the site for further information.
