Below is a breakdown of what participants can expect to learn:

Module 1: Anatomy & Foundations

· Understanding Texture Patterns: Classification of waves, curls, coils and kinky coiled hair

Module 2: Tools & Product Technology

· Product Layering: Strategic application of leave-in conditioners, creams, gels, and oils to define texture without excessive buildup that causes “film glare”.

Module 3: On-Set Dynamics & Continuity

· The Continuity: Creating detailed logs including products, drying times, technique, specific placement of hair, elements like “edges” or baby hairs.

· Lighting Interactions: Understanding how different textures absorb or reflect light; working with the Director of Photography (DP) to ensure hair isn’t lost in shadows or over-exposed.

· Rapid Styling: Techniques for quick, seamless touch-ups between takes to maintain the look under studio lights.

Module 4: Advanced Styling & Finishing

· Wigs & Extensions: Proper application, blending, and securing of extensions on textured hair to withstand physical action or long shoot days.
