The Curl Lab Academy

Nobody taught you your curls. We will.

The Curl Lab Academy is our school. Look-and-learn classes for families, adults and professionals, taught with the same method we use in the chair every day.

Why we built this

Wavy, curly and afro hair is barely taught in Australia.

An entire community has been left to figure it out alone. People travel hours, some interstate, just to find someone who understands their hair. That is not a niche. That is a gap, and the Academy is our answer to it. We are not calling the industry out. We are calling everyone in.

Kinds, The Curl Lab
The Curl [Edit] · Coming soon

Built for the curl. Not adapted for it.

Premium Australian curl care for waves, curls and afro textures. Most curl products are straight-hair formulas in a curly costume. The curl was never the problem, it was everything built around it. So we edited the routine down to only what performs, built from the curl structure outward.
