Yes, it\u2019s a theoretical concept, a practice, and a way of seeing the world, but it\u2019s also a course where people are schooled in the scientific study of behavior and mental processes as they relate to hair. Since founding the practice in 2020, Dr. Afiya has trained everyone from stylists and barbers to teachers and health professionals on the connection between hair and a person\u2019s mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The healing power of a hair appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Afiya zeroed in on a universal experience: the healing power of getting your hair done. We trust our stylists both physically (with our hair) and mentally (with our stories, secrets, and stressors). There\u2019s something about sitting in that chair and getting a head massage or having your hair styled that triggers a release. Dr. Afiya harnessed that power to address an issue that\u2019s not quite as universal: the mental and emotional stress hair has on a person, particularly those in the Black and BIPOC communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>PsychoHairapy wants to address hair depression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over a two-day course, Dr. Afiya\u2019s students are taught skills like \u2018active listening\u2019 and \u2018mental health first aid\u2019 so that they can address their clients\u2019 emotional needs on a whole new level. By learning the history of hair and its cultural significance they get a better understanding of why exactly hair has such a high impact on a person\u2019s mental health. They\u2019re taught about the history of hair in our culture and about the laws created to target Black people\u2019s hair that make it legal to discriminate against someone solely based on how they choose to wear their hair. Some initiatives, like the Crown Act, fight discriminatory laws that are still in place today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love studying and talking about hair history because it\u2019s so ancient. Understanding that hair is the highest point of our entire bodies and grasping how this connects us to everything around us, along with how that has been studied in ancient Egypt and the Caribbean is crucial,\u201d says Dr. Afiya. PsychoHairapy\u2019s goal is \u201cto create a culture around really caring for someone and their hair. The person being central, their hair being secondary, and having open conversations about what the client wants and doesn\u2019t want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The role PsychoHairapy plays in salons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the certification is open to anyone\u2014teachers, therapists, etc.\u2014Dr. Afiya\u2019s current focus is hairstylists. The intimacy between a stylist and client fosters a relationship where the stylist offers advice and opinions. In PsychoHairapy, stylists are encouraged to practice active listening instead, with the belief that healing really starts to happen when someone feels \u201cheard\u201d or is \u201ctouched in a certain way that communicates real listening\u201d. They\u2019re also taught mental health first aid. The training offers a framework and tips on how to notice and label clinical conditions, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/trichotillomania\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20355188#:~:text=Trichotillomania%20(trik%2Do%2Dtil,body%2C%20despite%20trying%20to%20stop.\">trichotillomania<\/a>, or damaging actions like cutting and self harm. After which, they make referrals to a mental health professional so their client can get the help they truly need. One student even joined up with a social worker to facilitate a stress management group out of her salon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hair discrimination\u2019s deep roots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t seem to understand how sacred hair is. In a lot of ancient African societies hair was crucial to rituals. It was how you would prepare the mind, body, and spirit to receive a blessing. There were hairstyles that were so ornate that it could take days to complete,\u201d says Dr. Afiya. This reverence for hair did not carry over to colonial America where slaves were seen as animals not people. \u201cBlack hair was often referred to as wool or fur,\u201d she says. \u201cHair is so connected to racism. It\u2019s really a re-education process. Because this country is so race-based, we have to have these conversations about race relations, skin color, hair, and even facial features very early on and in schools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><div class=\"gbda-custom-cta\" style=\"background-image:url()\"><span class=\"cta-title\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\">\u201c<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PsychoHairapy\u2019s goal is to create a culture around really caring for someone and their hair. The person being central, their hair being secondary, and having open conversations about what the client wants and doesn\u2019t want.\u201d<\/span><\/span><span class=\"cta-text\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/span><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"\"><\/a><\/div><div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2>The mental toll of embracing your natural texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the history of hair discrimination and breaking down long-ingrained societal standards around hair, is the first step to healing and to helping a client cope with stressful life moments associated with their hair. One of those times for many Black women is the transition from heat- or chemically-straightened hair to her natural texture.\u00a0<\/p><p>Dr. Aifya identified the different stages of transitioning using what\u2019s referred to as the <i>Transtheoretical Model<\/i>, also called the stages of change model. She explains that it\u2019s often used to get someone off of drugs. \u201cI was able to draw a parallel between the steps and process. With PsychoHairapy, it\u2019s identifying something called motivational interviewing to understand where someone is psychologically in the process of hair transitioning. There are a few stages, one being the relapse stage. So just like the way someone can relapse from a substance, the same thing happens when people transition to go natural and then go back to heat styling and straightening their hair.\u201d<\/p><p>In her research, Dr. Afiya discovered that many women who found themselves relapsing claim that if they had a stronger support system or knew other women transitioning that they would have been less likely to relapse and give in to heat styling. With the help of PsychoHairapy, women can now look to their stylists for that support.<\/p><p>Hair-associated stress is even influenced by a woman\u2019s romantic relationships. Dr. Afiya\u2019s article, <a href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/714328\/summary\"><i>Strands of Intimacy<\/i><\/a>, explores the dynamic between women and men in intimate relationships and how that often plays a role in how a woman chooses to wear her hair. She also penned an article on hair discrimination, which speaks on the stress and anxiety Black women experience from wearing their hair natural in school, at work, in an interview, or even in social settings. She uses these same reports and articles in her PsychoHairapy training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Changing the conversation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our hair isn\u2019t just hair and that\u2019s why it affects and impacts how we feel and how we carry ourselves. It can bring us high highs, like right after a fresh trim or color, and low lows, if it doesn\u2019t fit society\u2019s definition of beauty or even starts falling out. The factors that go into these feelings are complicated. From history to our DNA to the energy that exudes from our hair and even politics, hair\u2019s impact is layered.\u00a0 Thanks to gamechangers like Dr. Afiya we can start to untangle the invisible stressors that hold us back from celebrating our hair in a beautifully inclusive way. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through hair and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":16888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,384],"tags":[266,268,479,264,267,265],"class_list":["post-16887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-category-from-prose","category-highlights","tag-curly","tag-frizzy","tag-new","tag-smooth","tag-very-curly","tag-wavy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How PsychoHairapy Helps Black Women Gain Self Acceptance |<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The way Black hair is percieved in Western society has deep roots that date back to slavery.
