Moisture Balancing™, the science of optimizing hair health, is an essential skill for Curly Hair Specialists. In this hybrid class, you will learn how to understand the four essential Hair Type Personalities and how to quickly and efficiently map products, treatments, and even styling methods for each one.  Our course begins with a 90-minute on-demand virtual class covering the basics of hair types, product mapping, and the theory and practice of Moisture Balancing.  Original Moxie Founder, Rachel Blistein, will then lead a one-day intensive class at Curve Hair Studio in which, using your Moisture Balancing Guide,  you will work in teams to perform Moisture Balancing on two sets of live models.     At the end of the course, you will have an intimate, hands-on understanding of the Moisture Balancing Process and be certified to perform the Original Moxie Moisture Detox™, a game-changing hydration and repair professional treatment for curly hair.

The in-person Intensive is primarily hands-on and structured into two modules.  There will be no lecture portion as it will be assumed that all students have completed the digital portion of the class. The morning session will be devoted to Loose Textures, with students working in teams on a loose-textured model and the afternoon session will be focused on Tight Textures, with students working in teams on a tight-textured model.  The morning session will last approximately 3.5 hours and the afternoon session will include a 4-hour practicum and a brief discussion & Q&A to close the day.  Snacks, beverages, and lunch will be provided.

Please note that the process of Moisture Balancing involves the expert use of the Original Moxie product line and Moisture Detox™ Treatment. We will not be working with outside products during the class.  For this reason, our digital course begins with an introduction to our product line and the Moisture Detox

The digital on-demand course includes:

Rachel Blistein

At Original Moxie®, our business is personal. It started in 2009 with Rachel Blistein’s quest to understand and heal her dry, damaged curls. Her kitchen chemistry experiments led her to create a full line of natural hair care products, each one designed to meet the needs of specific hair types. After launching her business, she embarked upon a 4-year study that included over 1,000 individuals. The data she collected on Curl Pattern, Shape, Porosity, and Texture allowed her to identify characteristic patterns, which took shape as Hair Type Personalities™ and became the basis for our professional guide to Moisture Balancing,™ a science-based approach to optimizing hair health.
