I would like to see a upper division course called retention 201.
It would re-inforce the principles in detangling 101
Protective styling 101
Introduce how to properly S&D, dust and trim your hair
Discuss natural growth expectations for APL BSB/BSL MBL WL and etc
Would include a lab component to ensure enrollees were using continued healthy hair practices with growing lengths
lab course would also evaluate this naturals heat styling techniques to try and avoid long term goals
Pre reqs: for (2) year plus naturals
Course description: The aims of the course is reinforce the principles learned in the lower division courses so that naturals heads can continue to see progress. As hair grows and becomes longer the ends need more attention since they are the oldest part of the hair. This course will teach students how to retain the growth and achieve great lenghts
I would def sign up for this one once I hit my 2 year HHJ mark!!!!! dont wanna loose all my progress... or worse be stuck at a particular length for an extended period of time.

What would the senior capstone project be???? Hmmmm....I'm thinkin you would be required to 1) write a paper on your regime. including an analysis the products use. 2) demonstrate your detangling technique. 3) create 5 protective styles.

Great minds think alike. This is what I was thinking.
You could also have a Denman 101 course that breaks down all the diff types there are and which ones would best suit diff hair textures.
I would sooo want to take these courses!
Another course, Determine Your Personal Hair Styles 101, Heat Free Hair Styles for different events/occasions and Confidence 101, 201 and 300. Stop caring so much what other people think and rock that beautiful natural hair!
I believe the Avoid PJ'ism course would stay full. LOL. There'd be an impossible waiting list then again, some still might be in denial and not want to take up that class b/c it would ruin their flow.
