THE WHAT? California Governor Newsom has signed a landmark bill into law mandating the inclusion of textured hair education in the state’s cosmetology licensing requirements and curriculums. California is home to the highest number of cosmetology schools in the US.
THE DETAILS The new law addresses a critical, long-standing gap in cosmetology training, which often overlooks the unique needs of textured hair, defined as hair that is coiled, curly, or wavy. This benefits both professionals and consumers: stylists will gain the skills and confidence to serve a wider clientele and grow their businesses, while consumers with textured hair, approximately 65% of Americans, will have access to a greater number of knowledgeable stylists.
THE WHY? David Greenberg, CEO of L’Oréal USA, President of North America Zone, comments, “Inclusivity in the beauty industry is non-negotiable. Every professional entering the world of cosmetology needs to be equipped with the knowledge and skills to service all hair types to ensure that all consumers have access to trained professionals that can meet their individual needs. L’Oréal USA applauds California for its groundbreaking legislation mandating textured hair education in cosmetology licensing. This, along with the work of the Texture Education Collective, is a monumental step towards hair inclusivity.”
