Championing the Global Majority of Hair Types
Building a stronger, more inclusive future through business education, support for vulnerable children, and anti-discrimination advocacy.
A holistic ecosystem of support and empowerment.
Curls, Coils & is a Community Interest Company dedicated to transforming the textured hair community. We tackle interconnected challenges—economic inequality among stylists, systemic neglect of children in care, and ongoing discrimination—through three comprehensive branches.
Our approach is holistic. Each branch strengthens the others, creating an ecosystem of support that drives real, lasting change.

OUR METHODOLOGY
Three Pillars of Change
Curls, Coils & Cashflow
The textured hair industry is worth billions, yet the average UK stylist earns just £15-20k per year—despite Black women spending four times more on hair and beauty than any other demographic. The problem isn’t talent or demand. It’s business knowledge.
Through our 8-week business accelerator program, we equip independent stylists, salon owners, beauty brand founders, and educators with the tools to build profitable businesses. Our goal: help textured hairstylists 4x their income, from £15-20k to £60-80k average annual earnings.
When stylists thrive financially, they invest back into communities, break cycles of poverty, and build generational wealth.
Curls, Coils & Care
For too many Black and mixed-race children in foster care, proper hair care is treated as optional. When their hair is neglected, it affects confidence, cultural identity, and mental health.
Most foster parents and social workers genuinely want to help but lack the knowledge and resources to care for textured hair properly. This knowledge gap leaves children feeling overlooked and disconnected from their heritage.
We provide free hair care services to vulnerable children while educating the adults in their lives. Our pilot event supported 45 children, and we’re scaling to reach 100 children in April 2026. Beyond one-day events, we provide ongoing training for foster parents, social workers, and organizations.
Curls, Coils & Change
Discrimination against textured hair isn’t history—it’s happening now. Young athletes forced to cut their locs. Employees facing workplace policies penalizing natural hair. Students sent home for wearing braids or afros.
We drive the systemic reform needed to end hair discrimination. We partner with World Afro Day and the HALO Act, engage corporations for policy changes, and lobby for legislative protection. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it happens when communities organize and hold institutions accountable.
