Our Philosophy

We recognize the unique challenges faced by foster youth, especially those with ethnic hair and skin care needs. To address these challenges, we offer specialized training programs for foster parents and placements. These programs are designed to equip caregivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to properly care for the diverse hair and skin care needs of foster children.

Lana Contrell Founder of Love Your Texture

Our Mission

We offer a range of services, including haircuts, braiding, and educational programs designed to help parents maintain and care for natural hair. Our goal is to instill confidence and a sense of pride in every child we serve. We are proud to partner with Arizona Friends and Family, a valued ally in our mission to make a positive impact on the lives of children in need. Together, we strive to provide a supportive and nurturing environment where children can learn to love and care for their hair, fostering self-esteem and a sense of identity.

Love Your Texture Overview For Caregivers & Adoptive Parents

Good Hair vs. Bad Hair

This is a widely used term and usually refers to the difference in the texture of multi-cultural and African-American hair, It is a myth. Knowledge is power and teaching your child the same will build confidence at any age. The truth is that the ability to maintain a regular grooming schedule will promote a healthy scalp and hair growth.     

The Color Complex

The division of light skin and dark skin is something that your child will face in the world. Teaching your child to love themselves just the way they are on a regular basis will build their self esteem.  Using positive affirmations will help your child to cope. 

Golden Moments

Challenge yourselves as caregivers and parents to learn to do basic hair techniques. A transfer of trust and love builds a lasting bond. Since AA and MC hair care takes a longer duration it has always been valued for generational storytelling and sharing family values and helping the child not become visionary of their own future. 

Keep It Simple

Continue to educate yourself.Maintain your child's hair or select a consistent stylist, barber or braider. Use photos to convey your vision of how you want your child's hair done. If your child is 12 or older encourage them to learn to do their own hair for long lasting self-care. 

Oil Applications

Skin oil needs a carrier oil for application. You may also add oil to purified water and use in a spray bottle as a facial mist. When using oils on hair it is considered a hot oil treatment. Apply oil to hair for 1-2 hours. Then soak a towel in hot water and wrap hair for 30 additional minutes. A second option is to add oil to a natural conditioner and follow product directions.
