Coloring curls isn’t just a trend — it’s an essential skill for every stylist. With over 60% of the world’s population having some form of textured hair, learning how to color curls with confidence is no longer optional. That’s where Color My Curl comes in — a class designed to equip stylists with the knowledge, tools, and mindset to honor and enhance natural texture.
We sat down with educator @hairbyyourloverboy to talk about his journey, what makes this class different, and why every stylist should prioritize this education.
Why He Chose to Specialize in Curls
For him, teaching curls isn’t about niche specialization — it’s about serving every guest who sits in the chair.
“I think for me, it is less about specialization and more about being able to serve every guest that comes into my chair. I experienced a lot of struggles finding stylists who knew how to take care of my own hair, and I wanted to ensure I would never be that stylist to someone else who has hair like mine. I want to be a person that whenever anyone, regardless of how their hair looks or feels, that I can nurture and enhance their natural beauty to feel their best.”
This commitment to inclusivity and confidence is at the heart of Color My Curl.
What Makes Color My Curl Different
There’s no shortage of color education, but most classes focus on straight hair. Color My Curl bridges that gap.
“This class is an introduction to coloring textured hair, and what I think makes it different and exciting is it often gives stylists a toolkit to be able to address the needs of a wider range of textures that may come into their salon. Watching participants’ eyes light up when they have that ‘ah-ha’ moment is my favorite part.”
Stylists leave not only with techniques, but with the confidence to welcome more diverse guests into their salon.
The Most Common Mistake Stylists Make
When coloring curls, the biggest misstep is treating textured hair like straight hair.
“I think the most common mistake when coloring textured hair usually is trying to color the hair as you would straight hair. The hair reacts differently with gravity and with itself, and it’s important to honor that in coloring to get the best results — results that enhance the texture itself.”
This class teaches stylists to see and respect curls for what they are — unique, beautiful, and worthy of a tailored approach.
Why Now Is the Time to Take This Class
With textured hair making up the majority worldwide, this education is more relevant than ever.
“My immediate thought is, ‘because it’s a no-brainer of course,’ haha. But really, over 60% of the world’s population has some kind of textured hair, and that means that if you already aren’t interacting with it, you will be in the near future. It’s important that you have a baseline toolkit to be able to deliver for those guests as well.”
Building confidence in coloring curls isn’t just about skills — it’s about career growth and guest trust.
The #1 Takeaway for Stylists
So what should attendees expect to walk away with?
“First and foremost, I hope they leave with more confidence to jump in and color those guests with textured hair — with less fear and more intention. Furthermore, I hope that it inspires them to seek out further education, tools to build their toolkit, and make every guest feel special and taken care of in their chair.”
