"Natural Care for Black Hair"
Monday, July 19th | 6:00 pm-7:30 pm
Saturday, July 31st | 2:00 pm-3:30 pm

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR ALL HAIR TYPES AND TEXTURES. Designed with Black women in mind, this workshop will discuss a variety of natural options for regular hair care and maintenance. This class will address care for all hair types: relaxed, pressed, natural etc. and is geared towards creating a healthy hair environment.

Risikat will offer basic tips and share a few remedies for issues like: dry scalp, hair loss, thickness, growth and more. Students can also bring in the products they already use for feedback, and should also be prepared to sample some of the suggested products. Class size is limited to 12 students in order to accommodate questions and concern.

"Creating Ritual & Sacred Space"
Saturday, July 24th | 11:00 am-12:30 pm

This workshop designed to empower students to create rituals in daily life. By separating habit from ritual, Risikat will discuss and guide students towards recognizing the importance of daily ritual and the value of deeming space sacred for overall balance. Herbs, cleansing rituals, altar creation and more will be discussed. Students will learn to create balance through daily conscious action and sacred space building.

Black Hair Care Workshop

As an herbalist working at Smile Herb Shop, I often get questions from Black women on how best to care for their hair. I decided that it was time to create a workshop around the topic. The first two went so well in May, I am offering two more sessions in June.
