Connecticut has passed a new law requiring cosmetology students to learn how to service textured hair, making it the third US state to implement such a requirement. Governor Ned Lamont signed the legislation, aiming to make Connecticut more inclusive for residents of color who may struggle to find a salon that understands their hair type. The law follows similar measures in Minnesota and New York.
