About this Event
Crown Care Classroom: Learn to Cornrow
Hair is a crown, and every crown deserves care. This hands-on workshop teaches you how to cornrow, with clear, step-by-step guidance from an experienced braider in a welcoming and supportive setting.
Whether you are a parent, carer, sibling, or simply curious, you are welcome. You will leave with the skills and confidence to care for the hair of the children and young people in your life, and to rely less on hair drives.
