The Texpert collective

Textured hair styling is NOT a specialty — it’s a standard. The Texpert Collective is a Professional Platform and Educational Network formed by celebrity stylist and educators Tippi Shorter and Kauilani Goodwyn, to help elevate textured hair styling as an industry staple. Through workshops and training events, the collective empowers stylists with the skills and tools needed to manage all things curls, coils, and waves.

Now more than ever, women around the world are embracing their natural texture, and while pop culture and hair care brands have reacted to this surge of empowerment through diverse representation and inclusion, textured hair styling techniques are rarely offered in traditional beauty schools and the new generation of stylist are not being set up for success. Our mission is to educate stylists through intensive and engaging courses and events on everything from cutting, coloring, straightening, enhancing to curl definition and healthy hair regimens specific to textured hair.

The Texpert Collective aims to reestablish and elevate the value of professional authority on cut, color, and styling textured hair.
