Do you know what you're putting in your hair when it's being braided?

The simple answer is extensions—specifically PVC-synthetic hair that has been used for years across continents and cultures. However, a deeper understanding reveals that PVC-synthetic hair may not be the best option. It can have lasting negative impacts on both individual health and the environment.

So, what can we do about it?

The first step is becoming informed. Project HEW invites you to join us for a workshop that dives into these important discussions. Together, we’ll explore sustainable practices, cultural insights, and wellness strategies that support a healthier future for both our personal well-being and the planet.
