Board of cosmetology requirements modification for cosmetologists and hair technicians relating to textured hair

SF 2428 modifies Minnesota's cosmetology licensing requirements to ensure training on textured hair for cosmetologists and hair technicians. The bill defines "textured hair" as coiled, curly, or wavy hair and mandates that training programs include 900 hours of coursework, with the first 300 hours specifically covering all hair types and textures - such as coil, curl, wave patterns, strand thicknesses, and volume. Applicants must also demonstrate experience providing services to clients with all hair textures. These changes apply to cosmetology schools and individuals seeking or renewing licenses in Minnesota.
