  • How is the Total Curl Control Program structured?
    The Total Curl Control Program is broken down into three learning paths, each focusing on different levels of knowledge and skill. It’s designed to take you on a journey from basic understanding to mastery of Afro curly hair care. Path 1: Curl Confidence (6 weeks) – This is where you’ll start if you’re a beginner. You’ll learn the essentials of curl patterns, product selection, and foundational techniques like hydration and moisturization. Think of this as building your foundation—you’ll come away with all the knowledge you need to confidently care for curls Path 2: Core Curl Techniques (6 weeks) – This path takes you deeper. You’ll learn more advanced techniques, from creating long-lasting styles to solving common challenges like frizz, shrinkage, and dryness. You’ll also dive into protective styles and braid maintenance, focusing on keeping hair healthy over time. Path 3: Expert Curls (6 weeks) – By the time you reach Path 3, you’ll be ready to tackle advanced styling techniques, including creating sophisticated styles for special events. You’ll learn to perfect your skills and deliver professional-level results that last
  • How much time will I need to dedicate to the program each week?
    To get the most out of this program, you’ll need to dedicate around 6-8 hours per week. Here’s how that breaks down: Live Sessions: 2-hour weekly live session, where I’ll guide you through the techniques, answer questions, and offer real-time support. Pre-Recorded Videos: Around 1-2 hours watching the detailed video tutorials at your own pace. Assignments: 2-3 hours completing your practical assignments, depending on the complexity of the task for that week. Community Engagement: 1 hour for Q&A and participating in discussions with other learners. The program is flexible, so if you need to adjust your pace, that’s completely fine. You’ll also have access to the videos for the duration of the course plus a few weeks after, so you can revisit any lessons you need to.
  • Will I have access to the course materials after the program ends?
    Yes, you’ll have access to all the pre-recorded videos and course materials for the duration of the program plus a few weeks afterward. This allows you to review the lessons and refine your skills before moving forward. After that, the videos and materials will no longer be available, so we encourage you to make the most of your access while you have it.
  • Can I take just one learning path, or do I need to complete all three?
    You’re welcome to take just one path if you’re looking to focus on a particular area of expertise. However, to gain the full certification for the Total Curl Control Program, you’ll need to complete all three paths. Each path builds on the last, so while you can start with Path 1, you’ll find the most growth and transformation if you continue through all three. Plus, the more you learn, the more confident you’ll feel offering a full range of services for Afro curly hair care, which can also increase your client base and boost your earnings
  • What kind of assignments will I need to complete?
    Each week, you’ll be given a practical assignment that aligns with what you’ve learned in the live session and pre-recorded tutorials. These assignments are designed to be hands-on so you can apply your new skills in real-world scenarios. Example assignments: In Curl Confidence: You’ll be asked to demonstrate how you apply the LOC method (Leave-In, Oil, Cream) to hydrate and style Afro curly hair, submitting a video of your process. In Core Curl Techniques: You’ll practice a protective style like two-strand twists or braids, recording the steps and showing how you keep the hair moisturized and protected. In Expert Curls: You’ll create a complex updo or special event style on Afro-textured hair, explaining your product choices and styling techniques in a video submission.
