(The Center Square) – California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an unopposed bill requiring barber, cosmetology, and hairstyling instruction and licensing to include “all hair types and textures.”
Lobbying coalition including L’ Oréal and hair instructors celebrated bill as an effort to include “textured” and “diverse” hair.
