Hair, Skin & Scalp Health Education
Hands-on education that teaches healthy hair, scalp, and skin care practices while promoting hygiene, self-care, confidence, and lifelong healthy habits.
Diversity Hair Care empowers justice-involved youth, foster youth, and underserved communities through personal hygiene education, hair and scalp care, life skills, mentorship, and career exploration. We use self-care as a pathway to build confidence, responsibility, dignity, and opportunities for lifelong success.
Our programs provide trauma-informed, hands-on learning experiences that promote healthy habits, leadership, self-esteem, and personal growth while preparing youth to thrive at home, in school, and in their communities.

Self-care is more than appearance — it is the foundation for dignity, confidence, and lifelong success.
— Fatima Miles, Founder
Diversity Hair Care was founded by licensed cosmetologist and educator Fatima Miles with a vision to use personal care as a pathway to confidence, education, and opportunity. What began as helping families understand healthy hair and scalp care has grown into a nonprofit organization serving justice-involved youth, foster youth, schools, and underserved communities throughout Los Angeles County.
Today, Diversity Hair Care partners with Los Angeles County Probation, Compton Unified School District, foster care agencies, and community organizations to provide trauma-informed programs that combine personal hygiene education, hair and scalp care, life skills, mentorship, workforce development, and career exploration. Our goal is to help participants build confidence, responsibility, healthy habits, leadership skills, and a positive sense of self.
We believe that self-care is more than appearance—it is the foundation for dignity, confidence, personal responsibility, and lifelong success.
