Own your craft – introducing Total Texture, a new & free L’Oréal Access online training course that supports all professionals to welcome every client & care for every hair need.
The ‘Total Texture’ online course has been created in collaboration with Industry leader and three-time British Hairdressing Afro Hairdresser of the Year winner, and owner of the Hair Lounge, Charlotte Mensah, alongside other renowned hair experts.
All hair has natural texture from coils to curls, to waves and even straight – no head of hair is ever the same. L’Oréal Professional Products Division, including L’Oréal Professionnel Paris, Kérastase, Redken and Matrix, is proud to announce the launch of Total Texture – a series of knowledge-enriching theory tutorials from a range of leading hair pros open to all on L’Oréal Access to help equip and refresh hair professionals on the foundation knowledge required to welcome every client and care for every hair texture.
“If you want to be a great hairdresser it is so important to know how to work with every hair type so that anyone who walks through your door can be welcomed. Understanding the fundamentals of what, why and how texture influences hairdressing techniques is essential,”
– Charlotte Mensah
