Send us Fan MailShould all hair salons cater for Afro Textured hair?Karen Roberts lives in Bromley, UK. She is the owner of Mintwave Radio and the host of 'A coffee with Karen' podcast. She is mixed race, with Afro Textured hair. She was adopted by two white parents, and lived in Tunbridge Wells in Kent, where there was very little diversity, and they didn't really know how to handle her hair type.Support for adoptive families at that time was minimal, and none of the local salons were capable of working with Afro Textured hair.She found herself as a teenager learning how to braid her hair herself, and getting a train into London to visit a specialist salon. We discuss whether salons should endeavour to offer services for Afro Textured hair, or whether it is better for some salons to specialise.Karen talks about how unsolicited comments on her hair affected her self esteem and the damage this can do.  Connect with Karen:WebsiteFacebook Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy:FacebookInstagramTwitterClubhouse- @Hair.TherapyHair Therapy WebsiteDonate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert! Laser Hair Growth Cap | At Home LLLT Therapy | FDA Cleared | LIVDOR Save £50 off LIVDOR laser cap with code HAIRTHERAPYUK
