Interview with Keya NealA stylist whose passion for color and texture is unmatched with over 28 years of experience, Keya Neal leads a national revolution breaking textural boundaries that have long separated those in the hair industry. Keya’s passion for hair color and education led to the conception of Kolour Kulture, an educational resource for stylists who are particularly interested in the science of hair color and how it interacts with various hair textures. Keya launched her cornerstone education series “Texture vs Race” at The Energizing Summit hosted by the American Board of Certified Hair Colorist (ABCH), which has since become a nationwide movement with a summit of its very own. Texture Vs Race has amassed the support of top industry influences, including but not limited to the board of the American Board of Certified Hair Colorists.Through the evolution of Texture vs Race and her REPAIRations movement, Keya is at the helm of the salon industry's diversity and inclusion movement, encouraging "uncomfortable" conversations surrounding race and hair texture. Now, Keya acts as a color educator, texture expert, and DEI consultant, working to create a more inclusive and understanding industry.The fourth annual Texture VS Race Summit tackles the salon industry's long-standing textural discrimination and favoritism towards straight hair through hands-on education and anti-racism coaching. Each year, hopeful stylists graduate from beauty school with a standardized education that leaves them wholly unprepared and undereducated to serve a rapidly diversifying clientele. The Texture VS Race Summit, hosted by salon industry DEI consultant and color educator Keya Neal, offers education on cutting, coloring, and styling all hair textures.https://www.kolourkulture.comhttps://www.instagram.com/texturevsrace/ https://www.instagram.com/keyaartistically/?hl=en News from TheTease.comhttps://www.thetease.com/the-freehand-haircut-is-taking-over-tiktok/https://www.thetease.com/mayvenns-brittany-johnson-shares-her-expert-wig-shopping-tips/https://www.thetease.com/get-zendayas-pfw-glam-from-celeb-makeup-artist-sheika-daley/More from TheTease:Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease)Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ (KellyEhlers)Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig)Web: http://www.thetease.com/ (TheTease.com)Email: VolumeUp@TheTease.comCredits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.
