The Curl Code explores individual stories of how learning to embrace our natural hair can unlock the journey to embracing and empowering our most authentic selves. Each episode reveals a unique story of an individual journey, starting with a decision to lean into and learn to care for their curls, unwinding a process of transformation in how they view the world, society, and themselves. Wafaya Abdallah, owner of Curly Oasis curl salon (https://www.curlyoasis.com/) and curl educator based in Rockville, MD, brings decades of experience in the beauty industry, and leads conversations including practical advice on hair and self care, how she runs a co-elevating, team-based business, and how uncovering our most authentic selves allows all of us to vibrate at our highest frequency.

A wellness cheat sheet from an integrative health coach | The Curl Code

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mardi 18 février 2025 • Durée 34:12

Lori Fish Bard is a wellness expert, licensed clinical nutritionist and board certified integrative health coach, and long-time client of Oasis. After finally becoming comfortable with her curls, Lori's hair began thinning after childbirth. She discovered she had an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Her wellness journey began, leading her to the importance of gut health, integrated effects on the body of hormones and more. Now, as a nutritional counselor, Lori takes a holistic functional approach to wellness, focused on digestive and gut health, metabolic syndrome, thyroid health, autoimmunity, celiac disease/gluten sensitivity, and food allergies or sensitivities to help people develop sustainable habits and live a healthy, nourished, balanced life. She played a significant role in helping Wafaya and the team at Oasis learn how to better their own health, including some tricks that benefit hair and scalp health as well. Learn all about those and some other simple things to help improve your health from head to toe!

In this episode:

Postpartum hair loss is a fairly common, but temporary, phenomenon resulting from hormonal changes during and after pregnancy.

A study on black seed oil's effect on thyroid in rats.

Essential oil aromatherapy reducing fatigue in women with hypothyroidism.

More on the microbiome and immune system.

GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) testing is a relatively new technology, and while manufacturer Diagnostic Solutions defends the results, independent testing has shown low reliability and high false positives. If you are experiencing gastrointestinal issues you should consult your physician about options.

Studies have linked sugar to inflammation and metabolic disorders, and shown addictive qualities which may indeed trigger a higher reward response than cocaine in test animals.

Studies have linked pesticides to gut microbiome changes and secondary effects on hosts.

The Environmental Working Group provides the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists based on up-to-date USDA data.

While the link of specific foods to inflammation is often debated, certain diets have been linked to anti-inflammatory results.

Hair care, hair trauma, curl discovery, and embracing authenticity: stories from our live event

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

jeudi 12 septembre 2024 • Durée 38:54

We're kicking off the second season of the Curl Code by sharing vulnerable, illuminating, sometimes hilarious and always incredible stories from the show's launch party last year.

This live event brought together curlies and non-curlies of different generations and backgrounds to discuss lived experiences of their curly hair, including hair care, trauma, and self-acceptance. Regardless of what we might not have in common, we discovered funny and not-so-funny stories of struggle, and self-discovery that revealed the things we share, and taught us some of what's changed--and still needs to change--for us all to live as our most authentic selves, and embrace our curly crowns.

Our non-curly allies helped us understand their own experiences and limitations, and our wavy and swavy friends got some reassurance that there is a place for them in the curl universe!

This event and conversation exemplifies the openness, authenticity and healing we stand for in this show, and at the Curly Oasis salon and education platform. We hope you'll find solidarity, companionship, and discovery here, and realize that whatever you curl experience may be, you are not alone!

Continue your curly hair care and education journey on our Instagram!

In this episode:

The CROWN Act: The CROWN Act, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” is currently being adopted on a state by state basis to ban hair-based discrimination at schools and workplaces. Braided twists or locs, “as long as style is neat in appearance” are allowed for women–but not men–in the military.

People over profit is a better business model | The Curl Code

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 39:52

Michael Yost has been a hairdresser for 25 years, and a business owner for 16 of those years. Much like the rest of the industry, he didn't think much about styling curls or natural texture until the last seven years or so, even though he's a curly man himself. Around that time, he also sold his business, and now, Michael is the president of Strategies, which teaches salon and spa owners how to create, run, and grow a team-based business around a co-elevating culture that builds up profits by building up people. Like Wafaya, Michael and his organization believe that good numbers are a reflection of a healthy and happy staff, thriving in a culture of safety and growth, with a clear sense of purpose. Michael joins The Curl Code to talk about growing up curly in Pennsylvania, raising curly sons, and how much he's seen himself and his industry grow and change over the last few decades.

Strategies and Oasis Curl Salon have partnered on a technical and business training course called Crosswalk, bringing the culture of curl and team elevation to salon owners from all over the country. Michael visited Rockville for an on-site with the team, and to kick off the classes. Learn more about topics like leading with empathy, avoiding owner burnout, and becoming an eco-friendly salon on the Beauty Business Strategies podcast.

How ableism and hairism are connected, and experiencing--and resisting--both | The Curl Code

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

samedi 16 décembre 2023 • Durée 45:09

Luby Ismail came up in the same Egypt as Wafaya; longing for straight, silky hair, and taking hot irons and chemical relaxers to it to try and meet the beauty “ideal.” As an adult, Luby is an intercultural educator and public speaker, and realized one day that she couldn’t be authentic in her teaching if she wasn’t authentic in herself. Her journey includes living with multiple sclerosis, and in this episode, she educates us on ways even people with the best intentions can fail to see the fullness of lives that differ from their own.

From founding Connecting Cultures, which fights Islamophobia, to her husband’s documentary filmmaking, and her son’s environmental activism, Luby’s whole family is committed to using education to build bridges, making the "foreign," "familiar," and working for the betterment of humanity.

Your hair doesn't need to be "fixed" | The Curl Code

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 16 novembre 2023 • Durée 50:58

Scott Musgrave started Curly Hair Artistry as an online education forum back when Facebook was in its prime, and Wafaya Abdallah was what you might call an early adopter. His philosophy of embracing natural hair texture and cultivating curls, instead of "dealing with" dry, frizzy hair, was still cutting edge a decade ago (no pun intended). Since then, they've teamed up to take the learning into real life in curl cutting workshops, and in their personal and professional friendship, sharing philosophies of wellness and the deeper meaning of "work."

On this episode, Scott and Wafaya talk about learning to identify the values that drive fulfillment in work and life, and how abandoning external measures like comparing yourself to others and letting go of outcomes has helped Scott improve his health, energy level, and elevated his mindset. From being trolled online to being teased as a curly guy growing up, Scott talks about how important it is to overcome the demons in your head, even if by just having the courage to step into a cold plunge to get in touch with yourself and your innate capabilities.

In this episode:

You don’t get to be bossy for free | The Curl Code

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 19 octobre 2023 • Durée 48:48

Kelly Swann started out as an apprentice Oasis Curl Salon. Originally she knew nothing about the art of hair styling. She was a great student and went on to have her own salon in Denver, Colorado.

Shortly after taking ownership of her own salon, Let Em Have It, in Denver, Colorado, Kelly and her team experienced a terrible tragedy. She reflects on how they coped–and didn’t, maybe–and what absorbing such a heartbreak means for a salon that is deeply interwoven in their community, including the clients as well as the stylists. On this episode, Kelly and Wafaya reflect on the deep commitment stylists like them feel to their clients and each other, the preciousness of students who challenge you, and what “swavy” girl Kelly has learned about the difference between, and caring for, curls and waves alike. Kelly and Wafaya explore the rewards of leading with love for clients and coworkers alike, the magic of seeing someone fall in love with themselves, tips for other young and ambitious business owners, and how the more we learn, the less we know.

A generational shift in curl culture philosophy | The Curl Code

jeudi 5 octobre 2023 • Durée 41:19

Curl Stylist Sydnei Cave grew up with a lot of the same "curl wisdom" as many women of color. Oil your scalp, braid your hair, use relaxers. But, as she became educated in hair science and curl styling, Syd increasingly understood that those approaches were based in a philosophy of beauty generations before her had adopted as a legacy of slavery. First, absorbing society's attempts to keep women of African descent as "tame" as possible, to control them and then, as Black women in the United States fought for civil rights, to present themselves as close to whiteness as possible to be taken seriously, and be heard. While she understands and respects the experiences of her elders, Syd is part of a generation which sees--and is starting to do--things differently.

On this episode of the Curl Code, Oasis Curl Salon's youngest stylist educates Wafaya on how far her vision of natural hair has come since her childhood, and how she thinks her generation, and hopefully one day, the world, will see things differently.
