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.

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
So won’t this hurt black-owned barbershops? It seems to me it will create more competition for them?
“What’s the big deal? Just learn to pin on hair extensions and blonde wigs.”
And the glue - don’t forget the brain-rotting (per Caramel Anthony) glue!
“”Just learn to pin on hair extensions and blonde wigs.””
So true...that’s all that’s involved today...and not necessarily just blonde wigs - all colors. Most of the hairdos (the longer, the better TO THEM) seen on TV are atrocious - like putting curlers in your hair when it’s wet and taking them out while still wet, combing it out and believing they have achieved a great look. A look that would have kept me home from school in the ‘50’s if it looked like that...
“”Some black hair styles are ridiculously elaborate””
AND time consuming and expensive...I don’t know how THEY manage it..
I bet you left out some adjectives but I wouldn’t swear to it...
Yeah, because all black women must be like that.
Do you ever get sick of posting racist crap?
Well at least they don’t go in for the blue/green hair look, at least as far as I know.
That would make a really good song. 😉🎶

And a Broadway Play.
Yes; that too!
Is this The Bee?
Hedge Fund! Hahaha!
This country is lost.
On one hand, I’m right. You know I’m right. And it gets your panties in a twist.
On the other hand, I have to wonder:
Do you ever get sick of drunk-posting?
LOL!
No, I know you at times post racist crap.
And you’ll keep getting called out for doing so.
Never drunk posted. Sounds interesting.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha!!!
I post truth.
The truth isn’t racist.
The truth is the truth.
You can’t handle the truth.
And you’re sober when you post your stupid, arrogant, ignorant, self-righteous rubbish??? Really???
Drunk posting might improve your work.
Assuming you’re old enough to drink ... which does seem doubtful. If you’re under age, please DON’T drunk-post.
Couldn’t you just advertise you only specialize in one type of hair.
As they say… whatever!
Good advice on drunk posting.
Ask a "black" woman...
