Empowering Carers, Uplifting Children: Highlights from Our Cultural Haircare Masterclass
Updated: 5 days ago
Hair is so much more than just routine personal hygiene for Black and mixed-heritage children in foster care, it is a vital connection to their identity, culture, and sense of self. Yet, so many transracial foster carers, social workers, and care teams are left without the practical guidance or training needed to care for textured hair with confidence.
At Crowned with Care, we are changing that.
Our recent Cultural Haircare Masterclass brought together foster carers, social care professionals, and expert textured hair educators for a hands-on, practical learning experience.
Watch our recap video below to see the impact in action:
Key Moments from the Class
Hands-On, Practical Technique: Educator Rianna Henry broke down essential wash-day mechanics, detangling without tension, and maintaining moisture balance for coils and curls.
Building Knowledge Across the Care Sector: Insights from industry advocates like Maxine Campbell MBE and Wonderworks owner Elle Saunders highlighted the urgent need for structured afro hair training across society and the care system.
Bridging the Systemic Gap: As our founder Emiola Lanlehin shared, this mission is rooted in real-world impact, creating moments where carers feel empowered and children feel seen, valued, and cared for.
