Bill S6528A was signed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, making it required by law for aspiring hairstylists to be trained on natural curly and coily hair textures. Here's what that means for cosmetology schools.

Ease is a concept not generally normalized in the Black community, especially when it comes to getting our hair done. From birth, we’re often told our natural textures are “bad” and “unmanageable,” notions many hair-care professionals of all races have long believed, much to our detriment. As a result, having the privilege of being able to walk into any salon and expect adequate service is unfathomable, even in 2023. Even more than a decade into the second wave natural hair movement.

Says Reddy, “ working toward offering supplemental materials, resources, and guidance to cosmetology programs and/or regulators, with added focus on textured hair, to support the transition.” The state board exam will also need to be updated to include questions that reflect knowledge of textured hair care, and traditional mannequins and hair models will need to be diversified to ensure students get adequate hands-on training.
