A new law requiring hairdressers in New York to learn how to do all hair types including Black hair is now in effect.

Starting Tuesday, anyone studying cosmetology in the state must be trained to work with diverse types of hair textures.

The number of hours needed to get a license won't change.

Instruction on how to do curly, wavy, coily and kinky hair must be integrated into the curriculum.

The goal of the law is to stop anyone from being turned away from a salon.

Some black hair styles are ridiculously elaborate.
Are they expecting everyone to know any and every style?
This is going to be jet fuel for lawsuits.

There is no way they can regularly shampoo those elaborately grotesque "black" hairdos

How about old lady hair that wants to look like Sweeney?

Or me, I want corn rows and I’m bald as cue.
