Our Story So Far

Hey, I’m Dawn/Nyasha — The Curl Coach behind Afrotility Limited. One of my favourite shoe brands is Irregular Choice, and if I could, humans would communicate through singing only (hahahaha 🎶).

After training at WOBEL, I fell in love with the art and science of hair — especially curly hair (yes, Afro hair is curly hair!). The more hair I worked with clients, the more questions I had. That curiosity led me to study Trichology, so I could go beyond styling and truly understand what makes hair healthy.

I began coaching clients to embrace and understand their “true” hair. Online coaching was powerful, but when it came to braiding — a key protective style for many — I quickly realised there was a barrier. I simply could not braid every client who needed specialist care, and many lived far away. That’s when it became clear: coaching clients was not enough without educating the stylists who care for them.

Since 2012, I’ve worked one-to-one with Afro and mixed-race clients and seen a harsh reality: too many salons turn away Black women with natural hair because their teams lack specialist knowledge. Others rely on outdated or damaging techniques. This isn’t just bad for hair health — it’s bad for client trust and the reputation of stylists and salons alike.

That’s why I combined my Afro hair and trichology expertise into CPD-accredited workshops and courses — designed for stylists who want to braid without heat or chemicals, work ethically, and deliver lasting results. I created Afrotility to give professionals the tools and confidence to work responsibly, professionally, and inclusively.

To ensure this knowledge is shared meaningfully, I qualified as a Further Education Teacher, so I could train stylists to a standard that protects hair health and elevates professional care. My mission is simple: to build a global network of Afrotility-approved stylists, raise professional standards, and empower stylists to deliver healthy, beautiful results their clients love.

Because this isn’t just about braids — it’s about doing the right thing for hair, for clients, and for the future of the industry.
