In collaboration with founding partners Aveda, DevaCurl\u2122, L\u2019Or\u00e9al USA, and Neill Corporation, we\u2019re championing legislation to make&nbsp;<strong>textured hair education a mandatory part of all U.S. cosmetology programs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this movement is about more than curriculum changes\u2014<strong>it\u2019s about equity, representation, and raising the standard of beauty education nationwide<\/strong>. By ensuring every licensed professional is trained to serve&nbsp;<em>all<\/em>&nbsp;hair types, we\u2019re expanding opportunity, closing service gaps, and advocating for the 65% of Americans with textured hair who deserve inclusive care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With&nbsp;<strong>Washington, Vermont, and Maine<\/strong>&nbsp;recently joining the growing list of states passing textured hair education requirements, we\u2019re seeing the results of this advocacy in real time\u2014and we\u2019re just getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scroll down to read more in the official press release from our partner, L\u2019Or\u00e9al USA, and join us in building a future where&nbsp;<strong>all textures are taught, understood, and celebrated<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>NEW YORK,\u00a0July 1, 2025 \u2014 Over the last eight weeks,\u00a0Washington,\u00a0Vermont, and\u00a0Maine\u00a0signed landmark legislation into law requiring the inclusion of textured hair (defined as curly, coily, and wavy hair) education in all\u00a0cosmetology schools in each respective state, going into effect over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new regions join a growing number of states that have passed similar legislation since 2021, including&nbsp;California,&nbsp;Minnesota,&nbsp;Connecticut,&nbsp;Louisiana&nbsp;and&nbsp;New York. Policymakers who championed the bill include Representative&nbsp;Melanie Morgan&nbsp;of&nbsp;Washington State, Secretary of State&nbsp;Sarah Copeland-Hanzas&nbsp;of&nbsp;Vermont&nbsp;and Senator Rachel Talbot Ross&nbsp;of&nbsp;Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The milestone achievement is a proud accomplishment of the Textured Education Collective (TEC), an alliance of professional hair industry leaders founded by Aveda, DevaCurl\u2122, L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&nbsp;USA, and Neill Corporation, under the&nbsp;<strong>Professional Beauty Association (PBA<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The Professional Beauty Association celebrates the signing of&nbsp;Washington,&nbsp;Vermont&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Maine&#8217;s&nbsp;landmark textured hair education bills,&#8221; said&nbsp;<strong>Myra Reddy, Government Affairs Director, Professional Beauty Association<\/strong>. &#8220;These continued victories fuel the Texture Education Collective momentum as we advocate for similar legislation across the nation, promoting consistent standards and excellence in beauty education from coast to coast.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new laws directly address a gap in representation for the 65% of Americans with textured hair who have historically been left out of cosmetology education and so frequently lack equitable access to professionally trained and licensed stylists. The program, furthermore, offers a broader scope of skills for beauty professionals, enhancing opportunities for career growth and success as they journey through the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Every aspiring professional deserves an education that reflects the full spectrum of hair types and textures, and every client deserves access to stylists who are trained to meet their unique needs,&#8221; said&nbsp;<strong>David Greenberg, CEO of L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&nbsp;USA, President of North&nbsp;America Zone.<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8220;L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&nbsp;USA&nbsp;applauds&nbsp;Washington,&nbsp;Vermont, and&nbsp;Maine&nbsp;for requiring textured hair education in cosmetology licensing. This is a meaningful step toward enhancing the skillsets of the professional beauty community, expanding the opportunity to meet and exceed the needs of a wider network of consumers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington&#8217;s&nbsp;legislative victory makes it the first state in the Pacific Northwest to adopt this measure. With&nbsp;Maine&nbsp;and&nbsp;Vermont&nbsp;also on board in the Northeast, the legislative movement has been gaining momentum across&nbsp;the United States.&nbsp;Louisiana&nbsp;enacted a similar requirement in&nbsp;November 2021; and TEC was then founded to champion the passage of&nbsp;New York&#8217;s&nbsp;textured education legislation in 2023, followed by&nbsp;Minnesota,&nbsp;Connecticut, and&nbsp;California&nbsp;in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4459551-1&amp;h=3656990723&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4260492-1%26h%3D4019393413%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.probeauty.org%252Ftexture-education-collective%252F%26a%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.probeauty.org%252Ftexture-education-collective%252F&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.probeauty.org%2Ftexture-education-collective%2F\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https:\/\/www.probeauty.org\/texture-education-collective\/<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>About L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&nbsp;USA<\/em><\/strong><br>L&#8217;Or\u00e9al&nbsp;USA&nbsp;is the largest subsidiary of the L&#8217;Or\u00e9al Group, the world&#8217;s leading beauty company.
