New Mexico is one of only three states that requires braiders to get a full-service cosmetology license (1,200 hours of training!), forcing braiders to waste time and money learning how to use chemicals and dyes, which are practices they do not engage in and outright reject.

Freedom Hair is a film about one woman’s journey to change a different set of laws targeting braiders, ones preventing Natural Hair Stylists from owning a company. (Movie trailer HERE.)Learn how you can get involved in changing our state’s laws, sign the petition, and meet folks! Snacks provided.
