What are your business goals?

 We work alongside local government bodies training single parents, foster caretakers and families that have mixed heritage children.

 Through market research, we have established that there is a very high demand for more information and training from parents/foster caretakers to help maintain and look after their child's hair.

Soul Styles will be holding a Black Hair and Beauty event at which local colleges will be able to showcase  talent in the areas of hair, beauty, fashion as well as music. Shea Cottage,  American Hair Company  and Design Essentials will  also be conducting educational seminars.

Why our we doing this?

We want to improve the lives of people. We believe that our events will bring the community together and improve lives. We aim to guide and nurture families through hair training so they may  gain an understanding of how to improve a child's appearance. It’s a very important part of growing up.

Unauthorized Military Black Hairstyles

Recently, I was in my local VA office when I ran across this article in a military magazine. I was stunned by the article. African American enlisted females worry about family members they leave behind, the threats of war, being targets of rape, and now they are being attacked for wearing hairstyles like braids and twists that do not meet military guidelines and standards.

The Pentagon said the military would review controversial grooming policies that led some to accuse the Army of racial bias. Grooming guidelines released in late March, known as Army Regulation 670-1, included rules on hair grooming. Among the "unauthorized styles" were natural hairstyles popular among African American women, including twists. A White House petition, asking the Army to reconsider the ban, gathered more than 10,000 signatures.

Thank you to the women members of the Congressional Black Caucus for standing up for African American military women and Secretary Hagel for asking the military to review the guidelines. Click here to read the article in the Washington Post.
