Introduction to Texture Profiling

Introduction to the Texture Dynamics Framework™ & Texture Profile Wheel™ is the essential first step in mastering a modern, measurable, and inclusive approach to textured hair analysis. In this course, you’ll learn the core philosophy and structure behind the Texture Dynamics Framework™, including its three pillars—Hair Properties, Texture Indicators™, and Hair Thresholds™—and how they work together to form a complete understanding of textured hair. You’ll also be introduced to the Texture Profile Wheel™, a visual assessment tool that brings the framework to life, helping you identify, record, and communicate texture characteristics with clarity and precision. Through guided instruction, demonstrations, and reflection exercises, you’ll build a working knowledge of how to observe textured hair as a dynamic system—one that shifts with health, environment, and care practices.
