A new law in New York now mandates that cosmetology schools include training on natural hair care and styling as part of their curricula. The measure aims to address historical gaps in education, ensuring students learn techniques for working with textured hair types. Cosmetologists and advocates have long pushed for broader representation in beauty education, arguing that traditional training often overlooks diverse hair needs. The change reflects growing recognition of the need for inclusive standards in the industry.
