Why Multicultural Hair Needs a Completely Different Approach

from The Destinations Podcast · host CULTURS Global Media

Tanya Mason grew up between her Caucasian grandmother's fine hair and her Indian mother's hair that wasn't quite hers either. Nothing the beauty world taught her covered the texture in the middle. After 30 years behind the chair, she stopped following the rules and started asking why: Why conditioner? Why the big chop? Why nothing on the shelf actually worked? In this conversation with host Elleyne Aldine, Tanya talks about the multicultural hair gap nobody taught her in beauty school, the ingredient in your conditioner that's also approved as jet fuel, and the water she trademarked that changed everything for her clients. She also shares her CPC formula: Commitment, patience, consistency. The restoration program that lets you keep your length, and why the real damage to your hair isn't the product, it's what's coming out of your tap. Topics discussed: 00:00 - Growing up between her grandmother's and mother's hair textures 03:30 - 30 years behind the chair and what beauty school never taught her 05:00 - Why she became an educator to fix her own confusion 13:00 - Why the type of water you drink matters more than you think 16:00 - The story behind My Water and her trademarked process 20:30 - Why most people don't actually need conditioner 21:30 - The conditioner ingredient also approved as jet fuel 24:00 - What conditioner does once it dries on your hair 31:00 - The restoration program that lets clients keep their length 33:00 - CPC.
