See. Touch. Listen. Understand.

Every curl tells a story—if you know how to read it. In this transformative class, Original Moxie Founder & Curl Expert Rachel Blistein introduces the Crown + Core™ approach: a holistic, sensory-based system that connects the science of hair with the intuition of the senses.

 Through hands-on exploration, you’ll learn to interpret what curls reveal through texture, movement, and response using our Hair Type Personality™ and Moisture Balancing™ tools. This isn’t about memorizing product routines—it’s about awakening your sensory intelligence, or Curl IQ,  and learning to map each client’s unique hair story.

Grounded in research and guided by empathy, Crown + Core™ helps you restore balance between scalp, strand, and self—one touch at a time.

The digital portion of the class, which will be available to view on 12/26/25,  is intended to serve as a foundation for the two-day, in-person intensive.  The digital component provides an overview of the Crown + Core approach, and includes: 

• An overview of our client-centered consultation process.
• Step-by-step instructions to perform a Diagnostic Hair and Scalp assessment.
• A guide to quickly and efficiently understanding and enhancing curls through an understanding of their unique 'Hair Type Personalities™'. 
•  An introduction to Moisture Balancing™, our curl expression methodology centered on meeting the unique needs of diverse hair types and optimizing health.  

The in-person class builds on these skills and focuses on cultivating your sensory awareness of texture, porosity, curl pattern, and shape.  On both days, you will work on live models with diverse hair types to assess, balance, hydrate, and style their hair.  At each step, you will learn to identify important sights, sounds, and sensations - essential clues that guide the way to hair health and curl expression.

Please note: The Crown + Core Method will be demonstrated using the Original Moxie product line and Moisture Detox™ Treatment. We will not be working with outside products during the class.  For this reason, we highly recommend viewing our free Product Knowledge 101 Class before the in-person experience.  If you wish to purchase a starter kit of products prior to taking the class, contact Joe Harlow at [email protected].
