Project snapshot
The “NEXT Level Naturals” project in Brooklyn is designed to combat the prevalent issue of hair loss and damage among young women and girls caused by harmful practices like extensions and chemical treatments. Our initiative, vital due to the widespread lack of proper hair care knowledge, employs skilled professionals to mentor and empower these young women by promoting healthy hair practices and challenging beauty stereotypes. Through workshops, social media, virtual Q&A sessions, and local partnerships, we advocate for embracing natural hair textures. This not only enhances self-love and confidence but also fosters holistic well-being. We’re building a supportive community that celebrates natural hair, enriching the lives of Black and brown women and girls in NYC.
