We hope that students will gain the ability, understanding, and confidence to apply what they have learned, allowing them to practice, improve, and excel in hair braiding and natural hairstyling for young girls. This journey is about more than just mastering techniques and having fun, building friendships, and embracing creativity. Students will explore different styles, experiment with colors and textures, and develop their unique artistic flair. Through hands-on learning in a supportive and encouraging environment, they will not only refine their hairstyling skills but also build patience, teamwork, and a sense of pride in their work. Ultimately, this experience will empower them with a lifelong skill that blends culture, artistry, and self-expression.

Did you know that braids once served as a survival tool? During the transatlantic slave trade, enslaved Africans braided rice and seeds into their hair—ensuring they had food for the unknown journey ahead.
These braids were more than just a style; they were maps, messages, and a means of survival. They carried culture, resilience, and resistance. Many of the rice-growing techniques that shaped agriculture in the Americas came from the hands of these very people.
Braiding is not just a trend—it’s history, strength, and legacy. ✊🏾
1. Part the Hair: Use a rat-tail comb to divide hair into two equal sections.
2. Start Braiding: Take a small section at the front of one side, split it into three, and begin a braid.
• Dutch Braid: Cross strands under the middle.
• French Braid: Cross strands over the middle.
3. Add Hair: Keep adding small sections as you braid down.
4. Secure the Ends: Tie with a hairband.
5. Repeat on the Other Side: Match the braid on the second section.
6. Finish: Smooth with edge control or mousse.

Today was absolutely beautiful!
The energy, the joy, the creativity—it was all flowing! My students truly amazed me with their imaginative arts and crafts. Watching them bring their ideas to life reminded me just how powerful creativity can be in a child’s world.
