A Practical Course: Black Hair Care
Master the Art of Black Hair Care: Enroll in the Course That Builds Confidence, Connection, and Cultural Understanding!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, or even judged when it’s time to care for your child’s hair?
When a mom and her daughter walked into my salon, I could feel the mom’s anxiety before she even sat down. Her child was calm, but she was visibly stressed. As I finished styling her daughter’s hair, the mom let out a deep sigh and said, “Now I can hold my head up.”
Her words struck me. When I asked her what she meant, she shared the painful truth:
She had spent countless hours watching online tutorials, but nothing worked. The judgmental looks from strangers made her feel like she was failing her child. The shame—both silent and spoken—was overwhelming.
That’s when I knew I had to do more than just offer advice in the salon. I created The Black Hair Care Course to provide a clear, compassionate roadmap. This isn’t just another tutorial—it’s a step-by-step course designed to help parents feel equipped, confident, and empowered.
You’ll walk away with real skills, cultural insight, and the ability to turn hair time into a powerful connection with your child.

I am always looking for good resources to share with the parents that we work with. Isaac speaks from lived experience, and his story and his advice are invaluable. With this guide, Isaac gives parents the tools to navigate parenting a transracially adopted child. He uses concrete examples and advice, weaving in his own personal experiences. Isaac talks about his own search for identity and acceptance and how he spoke with his own adoptive parents about racial injustice in general and within his family. In his thoughtful and gentle way, Isaac highlights how important it is for adoptive parents of transracially adopted children to explore their own racial issues and biases. I highly recommend this guide to all parents who are adopting a transracial child.

Such a fantastic and digestible resource! A must-read for adoptive and prospective adoptive parents of children with different ethnicities than their own. 1st, Isaac shares his perspective with vulnerability and honesty, but without shaming anyone. As adoptive parents, it's critical that we seek out adoptee perspectives! All of our parenting decisions are for them. Next, he shares a framework of how to support your child with love and ethnic mirroring throughout their developmental stages. Then he outlines actionable tips and FAQs. So helpful. Last, Isaac's mom shared her perspective on the realities and crucial lessons in raising an adoptee with love, compassion, safety, and continuous learning.I love that this book has wide margins, which invited me to take notes."
