The Strand Network

Today we’re celebrating someone who has been part of the S.T.R.A.N.D. story since our first workshop! 💛

From educating professionals on hair-loss-safe braiding techniques to now capturing, editing, and sharing the heart of our mission through social media, Online Braid Training | Jada 📍Eastern Shore, Va has poured so much of her talent into helping S.T.R.A.N.D. grow, and today we’re celebrating her!

Jada, thank you for the countless hours behind the camera, behind the edits, and behind the scenes making sure our community sees the impact of collaborative scalp and hair care. You have a gift for storytelling, and because of your work, more people understand what it means when stylists train, research, and network with Dermatologists.

Please join us in wishing Jada a very Happy Birthday and an incredible year ahead! 🥳✨

With gratitude,
The S.T.R.A.N.D. Team. 💛

I AM S.T.R.A.N.D.™ CERTIFIED.
Not everyone can say that.

Every S.T.R.A.N.D.™ Certified professional made the decision to go beyond styling and invest in understanding scalp health, hair loss, dermatologist collaboration, and client care at a deeper level.

Today, we’re celebrating every stylist, barber, cosmetologist, educator, and hair care professional who chose continuing education and became part of the movement.

Whether you earned your certification in Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas City or anywhere in between, we want to hear from you!

My stylist told me to come shampooed and blow dried.”

If you’ve ever heard those words, you’re not alone.
For many clients experiencing hair loss, thinning, shedding, or scalp conditions, arriving with freshly shampooed and blow-dried hair isn’t about convenience. It’s often the first step in helping a trained professional see what’s really happening beneath the style.
The challenge is that many stylists were taught how to style hair, but not how to recognize when a scalp concern may require a different approach.
That’s exactly why we’re hosting this free webinar on June 8th.
You’ll learn how S.T.R.A.N.D. Certified professionals approach consultations, hair loss-safe tools, and scalp-conscious decision-making in the dermatologic salon. Because the right brush, the right tool, and the right conversation can make a difference in a client’s hair growth journey.
If you work with clients who have hair loss, thinning edges, shedding, CCCA, traction alopecia, or unexplained scalp concerns, this webinar is for you.
Comment BRUSH and we’ll send you the registration details.
