Course Overview: Silk Press & Cutting Highly Textured Hair
Course Description
This hands-on course, led by renowned textured hair specialist Erica Liburd, is designed for professional stylists looking to elevate their skills in working with Afro-textured hair.

Participants will gain a deep understanding of the science behind textured hair, the best tools and products for achieving long-lasting results, and how to maintain hair health throughout the process.
In addition to silk pressing, the course covers precision cutting techniques tailored specifically for highly textured hair. You'll learn how to shape, layer, and sculpt curls to enhance natural movement and style versatility. This course is ideal for stylists aiming to expand their service offerings and move toward a fully texture-inclusive practice.
