Cosmetology students in these states are now required by law to learn how to work with all hair textures. This milestone is a major win for inclusivity, thanks to the work of the Textured Education Collective (TEC), powered by industry leaders like devacurl, lorealpro + aveda.
📍As of July 2025, these states have passed the law:
California • Connecticut • Louisiana • Maine • Minnesota • New York • Vermont • Washington
It’s one more step toward every client getting the haircare they deserve. 🙌🏼
