Heal by Hair, a pioneering movement of hairdresser ambassadors for mental health in Africa, is a flagship program of the Bluemind Foundation. It aims to improve the mental health and well-being of African women, one client at a time, through the hairdresser's chair. Since its launch, the program has transformed the lives of nearly 54,000 women in Togo, Cameroon, and Ivory Coast.
"Heal by Hair has opened my eyes to the importance of mental health and has given me the tools to support my clients beyond just hairstyling. Being published in Vogue is an extraordinary recognition of our mental health ambassador work! It is a source of pride for our community and our country, Togo." - Adaku Adama Hondeglah, Promotion Delegate.
"I am grateful to the Bluemind Foundation for providing me with the knowledge to support my clients in their mental well-being through the Heal by Hair training. It is an incredible honor to have the opportunity to share our stories and commitment to mental health in such a prestigious magazine as Vogue." - Hélène Azoyivo, Co-Delegate. "Heal by Hair has been more than just training for me. It has been a true revelation about the importance of mental health and community support. Being featured in Vogue shows that our voice and experience matter, even in the biggest circles. It proves that it is possible to start from the neighborhoods of Lomé and land on the pages of major magazines. The New York Times and now Vogue, it's like a dream…!" - Têlé Akouavi Da Silveira |
