Hair Care Basket
In recognition of the unique hair care needs of Black students with curly, kinky, and coily hair textures, former Center for Cultural Engagement and Inclusion (CCEI) intern N'dia Battle '25 advocated for increased access to essential hair care products on campus. Through a thoughtful proposal to the United Equity and Justice Collective, the Hair Care Basket was created to directly address this need.
Hair Care Resources
Housed within and funded by the CCEI, the Hair Care Basket offers a curated selection
of products specifically designed for textured hair. The basket is inclusive of students
of all gender identities and aims to support them by ensuring they have access to
products that meet their hair care needs.
Products Available:
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Hair Gel (EcoStyle)
- Loc Twisting
- Durags
- Edge Brushes
- & More!
Hair Styling Tool Rental
The CCEI offers the rental or check-out of three hair styling tools, a blow dryer, curling iron, and flat iron. Unlike the other items in the basket which are free to take, the blow dryer, straightener, and curler are free to USE.*
Ask CCEI staff to check out any of these items or T scan the QR Code placed on each of the boxes. You may also fill out the form below.
*Items that are checked out may not exceed two days from the intial check-out date. Failure to return an item on the decided upon date of return, will result in the student no longer being allowed to participate in Crown Care Program or take anything else from the hair care basket in perpetuity.
