WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I am so happy to take home what I have learnt to my children, my family and in my profession to be a braider. I have three daughter's, and each have different texture hair and the Nurture Academy has helped me identify how to treat each hair type differently and with care, the techniques on detangling and blowing drying hair and how to use different hair equipment.
