The Curl Code: how curl care and self care means wellness for all

Showing up for your curls for the very first time | The Curl Code

Description

For some people, walking into a curl salon is the first time someone looks at their hair, often worn out, bedraggled or caked in product, and says "OMG what beautiful curls! I can't wait to see them!" That was certainly Hannah Gaber's experience when she first went to Curly Oasis, recommended by a friend who knows the struggle. The journey of learning and self acceptance--and finding an unexpected community of curlies--is what inspired this podcast. That moment of acceptance and having your potential reflected back to you can be a game-changer, and that's what drives Wafaya Abdallah and her team at Oasis. This episode is a bit about their origin story and the philosophy that underlies their work: from healing curls and people to implementing a co-elevating business model.

Oasis is more than a curl salon, it's a curl sanctuary, and Wafaya and her team of curl specialists consider themselves teachers as much as anything else. Over the years of serving curly customers, they've seen stories of transformation and revelation that inspire them in what they do, and to evangelize for embracing the natural qualities we all have that make us beautiful to shine as our most authentic, brightest selves. This show was started to share those stories, build a community, share experiences and education, the science and spirituality of curly hair care and empowering our crowns.
