The Afro workshop for mixed-race families
Roxanneβs classes aim to prevent white mothers from making common mistakes, such as over-washing their mixed-race daughters' hair, by teaching the differences between Afro and Caucasian hair.
βThe difference between Afro hair and Caucasian hair is the fact of the follicle and how it grows," said the 29-year-old.
βWith Caucasian hair the follicle is more rounded in shape and in Afro hair itβs more of an oval shape.β
The workshop aims to ensure every child leaves feeling confident with their curls.
