What You Will Learn and Practice in Class

The class begins with an overview of textured hair structure, porosity, and growth patterns, then moves into washing, conditioning, and detangling techniques that minimize breakage and tangling. In Battle Creek, the instructor demonstrates each step and allows you to practice with your child or on a training head so you can build muscle memory and confidence.

After the class, you will know how to section hair for washing, apply leave-in conditioner evenly, detangle from the ends up, and create simple protective styles such as twists or braids. Your child's hair will be easier to manage, and they will experience less pulling and discomfort during grooming.

The class includes guidance on how to choose the right products based on your child's hair type and how often to wash and moisturize their hair. You will also learn how to recognize signs of dryness, breakage, or scalp irritation so you can adjust your routine as needed. The class does not cover chemical treatments or advanced styling techniques, and it is designed for caregivers who are new to textured hair care.

What Caregivers Often Ask Before Enrolling

Caregivers often want to know how long the class lasts, whether they need to bring their child, and what documentation is required to enroll in the program.

How long is the hair care class?
Most classes last between ninety minutes and two hours depending on the number of participants and the techniques covered. Hands-on practice is included so you can apply what you learn during the session.
Do I need to bring my child to the class?
You can bring your child if you want to practice on their hair, or you can practice on a mannequin head provided during the class. Bringing your child allows the instructor to tailor the lesson to their specific hair type.
What documentation do I need to bring?
You should bring any court order documentation and your foster care license to verify eligibility for the program. This requirement ensures the class is reserved for caregivers who are actively fostering or adopting children.
What if I have never worked with textured hair before?
The class is designed for caregivers with no prior experience. The instructor starts with basic concepts and builds up to practical techniques so you can develop skills gradually.
Will I learn how to do protective styles?
Yes, the class covers simple protective styles such as two-strand twists, flat twists, and braids that you can recreate at home. These styles help reduce daily manipulation and keep your child's hair manageable between washes.
