Shiny Hair Team Building 2026: A Journey Back to Craftsmanship and Cultural Heritage
At the beginning of 2026, the Shiny Hair team stepped away from our daily routines and production schedules to start the new year in a different way, with a team-building experience rooted in culture, craftsmanship, and reflection.Instead of a traditional corporate outing, we visited Kezhifu Cultural Experience Center in Heze, a space dedicated to the preservation and hands-on practice of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage. It was a meaningful opportunity for our team to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the values that guide our work every day.
Experiencing Intangible Cultural Heritage Firsthand
Kezhifu is a cultural space where traditional Chinese craftsmanship, aesthetics, and lifestyle come together.From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere encouraged calm and focus — textured earthen walls, soft lighting, handcrafted artworks, and a peaceful tea setting created an environment where attention naturally shifted inward.
For the Shiny Hair team, this was more than a cultural visit. It was a reminder of the importance of patience, detail, and long-term thinking — values that are deeply aligned with our own approach to hair manufacturing.
Cloisonné Art: Patience in Every Detail
One of the main activities was cloisonné (wire inlay enamel) craftsmanship, a traditional technique known for its precision and complexity.Each participant carefully shaped metal wires, filled enamel colors, and slowly brought the design to life.
Our collective artwork, titled “Distant Mountains,” required focus and steady hands. As the piece gradually took shape, it became clear that true craftsmanship cannot be rushed. Every small decision affects the final result.
This experience closely reflects how we view our work at Shiny Hair, whether sourcing raw human hair materials, refining production processes, or maintaining consistent quality across batches.
Gold Leaf Art: Creating Symbols of Good Fortune
We also explored gold leaf painting, creating a piece called “Prosperity Ahead.”The shimmering gold details and dynamic horse imagery symbolize progress, strength, and good fortune — meaningful wishes for the year ahead.
Completing this artwork together was not just about the finished piece, but about the shared sense of optimism and confidence within the team as we move into a new year.
Rubbing Art: Preserving History Through Touch
Another hands-on activity was traditional rubbing art, a technique used to transfer ancient texts and patterns onto paper.As ink revealed each character and motif, we experienced firsthand how cultural knowledge is preserved across generations.
The quiet concentration required during this process allowed everyone to fully immerse themselves in the moment — a rare and valuable experience in today’s fast-paced world.
Tea Appreciation: Connection Beyond Work
Between activities, the team gathered to enjoy traditional Chinese tea.In a relaxed setting, conversations flowed naturally — about craftsmanship, daily life, personal reflections, and the future of Shiny Hair.
These moments of connection, away from production lines and meetings, strengthened our team in ways that go beyond professional collaboration.
Why This Experience Matters to Shiny Hair
For over two decades, Shiny Hair has been deeply involved in the hair industry, from raw material sourcing to finished products.The principles behind traditional craftsmanship — patience, respect for materials, attention to detail, and long-term commitment — are the same principles we apply to every bundle of hair we produce.
This team-building experience was a reminder that quality is not just a standard; it is a mindset.
