Make education more widely available

L’Oréal has joined with UNESCO to fight the spread of AIDS by pooling the resources of its extensive network of partnership hair salons around the world.

Launched in 2005 in partnership with UNESCO, the Hairdressers Against Aids campaign aims to provide hairdressing professionals with the resources needed to inform people of risks related to the disease and raise awareness of how to prevent the spread of AIDS.

A special training programme for hairdressers is taught by over 3,000 instructors around the world at academies, salons and conferences organised by L’Oréal.

The programme is constantly expanding and now covers some 26 countries around the world.

The L’Oréal Foundation provides funding to adapt teaching resources and has brought in a specialist to create content and monitor relations with the relevant authorities in countries covered by the programme.

The Foundation also actively supports World AIDS Day on 1st December, mobilising its network of partner hairdressers the world over.
