THE TEXTURE OF CHANGE.
The Texture of Change goal is inclusivity of all hair types and textures in cosmetology state board licensing and beauty school curriculums.
Anyone can sign this petition
to encourage the inclusion of textured hair training in cosmetology testing standards.
Over 65 % of the U.S. population has textured hair. Yet, it is not taught in most beauty schools. Leaving the majority under served and under represented. We need to rewrite beauty school text books with texture included.
“Equipping cosmetology students with an education that is inclusive of textured hair types (coily, curly, wavy), allows for their reach to be even more impactful. Clients with textured hair should have equitable access to professionally trained, licensed stylists with the skill set and experience to provide hair care services in an environment that ensures health and safety standards no matter their hair type or hair service.In an effort to embrace the diversity of those in the professional beauty industry as well as the clients they serve, we invite states to adopt textured hair education as part of their curriculum and state board exam. Our industry seeks to develop experienced licensed beauty professionals who can create inclusive environments. Our goal is to empower cosmetologists with the confidence to consult and work with clients who have textured hair, while maintaining the health and safety standards they learn in their cosmetology program. Join the movement! Please sign the petition and help us create texture inclusive education standards across cosmetology schools nationwide!”- The Texture of Change
