Empowering the Next Generation to Love Their Natural Hair

​

The tween and teen years are a critical time for building confidence, self-expression, and identity. For many young people with textured hair, learning how to properly care for and style their natural hair can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, hair challenges often impact self-esteem and leave teens feeling frustrated, discouraged, or unsure of themselves.

That's why Teen Texture Camp was created.

​

Teen Texture Camp is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth through textured hair education, confidence-building, and self-care. Our mission is to help young people develop the knowledge and skills needed to embrace and care for their natural hair with pride.

​

During this immersive, hands-on experience, campers learn directly from licensed beauty professionals and textured hair experts. Participants explore topics such as:

• Understanding hair texture and curl patterns
• Healthy hair care practices
• Product selection and ingredient awareness
• Shampooing, conditioning, and detangling techniques
• Protective styling methods
• Two-strand twists, flat twists, Wash-and-Gos, and more

​

New for 2026

This year, advanced campers will have the opportunity to participate in a limited self-styling experience, allowing them to practice their newly learned skills on their own hair under professional supervision. Campers may also choose to work on mannequins.  Space is limited.  

​

"Our goal is about much more than hair," says Founder India Bertin. "We're helping young people build confidence, independence, and a positive self-image. When a teen learns to care for and embrace their natural texture, it can change how they see themselves."

​

What Parents Are Saying

"My child struggled with self-esteem during her first year of middle school. After attending Teen Texture Camp, she felt inspired and learned how to care for her hair. It was a game-changer for her confidence."
— Shameka B., Parent
