EVERY CHILD DESERVES THE DIGNITY OF A GOOD HAIR DAY.
A COMPREHENSIVE DIVERSITY-CONSCIOUS HAIR RESOURCE FOR YOUTH AND THEIR CAREGIVERS.
That seems pretty simple, until we define what “caregiver” means to The Hair Initiative.
To some kids, caregiver means biological parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or siblings.
To others, it’s a staff member at a group home, a detention center, in-patient facility or a shelter.
