Walking into a salon and being turned away because of your hair texture just got a lot harder to justify in New York.

A new law now requires all cosmetology students in the state to learn how to style every hair type and texture, with proficiency now required to earn a license. The lawmaker behind it put it plainly: no one should ever receive substandard care because of their hair.

New York already has its own CROWN Act protections, and now joins a growing list of states closing this gap while a national version stays stalled in Congress.
