Creating a Healed Culture Through Hair Care
At Culture Creations, we understand that hair tells a story of identity, family, and belonging. Our work begins with something deeply personal and often overlooked in the foster care system: the right to care for and take pride in one’s hair.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to support the healing and growth of youth in foster care by reconnecting them with hair care practices that reflect who they are. Through hands-on education, resources, and guidance, we use hair as a foundation for building confidence, restoring self-worth, and creating lasting change in young people’s lives.
Why Hair?
Many children in care lose access to familiar routines and cultural practices, hair care being one of the first. By restoring that connection, we help youth feel grounded, seen, and valued. Hair becomes a starting point for reclaiming identity and building trust with themselves and others.
How We Help:
We offer hair coaching programs, retreats, and workshops designed for youth and their caregivers. These experiences teach hair care skills, share culturally rooted practices, and build strong support networks. Our approach is hands-on, respectful, and rooted in everyday traditions that foster pride and self-respect.
Who We Serve:
Culture Creations works with all youth who have experienced foster care, with a strong focus on those whose hair and culture are often misunderstood or neglected. We know that hair care is care for the whole person.
What We Believe:
We believe every young person deserves to feel good in their skin and confident in their appearance. By providing access to tools, knowledge, and community, we’re helping youth step into their future with strength, clarity, and dignity—starting with the simple, powerful act of caring for their hair.
