Textured Hair in Film, TV & Theatre – with Angela Stewart

Angela Stewart has been a hair and makeup artist for 24 years working across film, theatre and the creative arts.

As a person with Afro hair she has encountered various approaches to Afro hair styling and had simply accepted that Afro hair (all types) was ‘special’ and ‘difficult’ to master as society seemed to imply. Growing up she didn’t question the lack of salons for natural Afro hair; she also accepted the excuse that there were those with good hands and this who were heavy handed. Unfortunately, this also meant that many who catered for afro hair caused significant pain.

Pain was a way of life.

Because she refused to accept the pain, she learnt how to care for afro hair in a pain free manner. This led her to become an expert not just for her own hair but to become an afro hair stylist to help others. There are small pockets of individuals doing their best to enlighten others, however there is still no official school that promotes a simple, effective and uncomplicated method of caring for the naturally textured curl.

Angela realised that she had the opportunity to share her knowledge and contribute to changing the landscape for the inclusion and proper consideration of Afro/Textured hair in the professional world while addressing the importance of representation for the general public, and now specialises in both working in and sharing knowledge with those working in the creative industries as well as the public consumer.

As a hair and makeup artist, I’m always looking for courses to improve my skills. Angela showed me not only to style afro hair, but also to understand it and the history behind it. Her way of teaching makes it very easy to follow and gives you the tools to practice and discover more on your own time. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s interested in learning more about afro hair be it in a professional or personal level
