Best Kept Secrets Salon Launches 4C Hair Boot Camp
In an initiative aimed at empowering young girls to embrace and care for their natural hairstyles,
Best Kept Secrets Salon is thrilled to announce the launch of its first-ever
4C Hair Boot Camp. This innovative program, designed for girls aged 10 to 15, is set to start on
August 5, 2025, and will run for two weeks, with the first session from August 5 to 8 and the second from August 12 to 15. The camp will take place at
2060 Yellow Springs Road, Frederick, MD.
About the Program
Under the guidance of salon owner and beauty expert,
Kim Abernathy, the 4C Hair Boot Camp will provide participants with comprehensive training focused on the unique needs of 4C textured hair. Throughout the camp, girls will engage in hands-on workshops that will cover a variety of essential topics, including:
- - Natural Hair Styling: Techniques to style natural hair in versatile and chic styles that showcase their unique textures.
- - Hair Maintenance and Care: Proper methods for maintaining healthy hair, including washing, conditioning, and moisturizing routines.
- - Understanding Locs and Braiding: Insights into different hairstyles like locs and various braiding techniques suitable for 4C hair.
- - Curl Patterns and Detangling: Understanding different curl patterns to enhance hair care practices, including effective detangling methods.
- - Flat Twisting Techniques: Learning the art of flat twisting, a popular style that helps protect the hair while also allowing creativity.
Each camper will receive a
complete haircare kit to take home, ensuring they have the necessary tools to maintain their hair effectively. Daily lunches will be provided, and there will be live Q&A sessions, allowing girls to interact, ask questions, and deepen their understanding in a fun, supportive environment.
Building Confidence Through Education
Kim Abernathy passionately stated, "It's more than just a camp; it's a confidence-building, skill-sharing introduction to a world where Black hair is celebrated, understood, and cared for." The aim is to foster a sense of pride and self-acceptance among the participants while equipping them with practical skills they can use for a lifetime.
This camp not only teaches technical skills but also aims to uplift and empower girls to appreciate their unique beauty and strengths. With a focus on community and education, the 4C Hair Boot Camp symbolizes a positive step towards honoring and embracing the natural beauty of textured hair.
