Rep. Antonio Perkinson #Backpedals on #occupationalLicensing by halting #deregulation of a #BillionDollarIndustry

Rep. Antonio Perkinson #Backpedals on #occupationalLicensing by halting #deregulation of a #BillionDollarIndustry

“When I say natural hair, I’m talking about coily curly type of hair,” said Yvette Granger, owner of Natural Divinity Salon. Granger wants to see a halt on deregulation, like the state law allowing just 16 hours of hygiene training to receive a braiding certificate.

She also wants more business resources after seeing the issues business owners faced when applying for PPP loans.

“We have a lot of natural hair leaders, strong people in the industry,” said Antonio Parkinson, State Representative. “This is a billion-dollar industry, and I just don’t want us to be asleep at the wheel, while other people capitalize on this industry.”

“It’s great to have people in business for over a decade, who have been successful. And we should do everything we can, as a state to help small businesses like this be successful,” said Cameron Sexton, Speaker of the House.

The legislators sat down with Granger to discuss what’s next for the natural hair care world in Tennessee.

Wisconsin Black Assembly members used to Deregulate Hairbraiding from Natural Hair Care

Wisconsin Black Assembly members used to Deregulate Hairbraiding from Natural Hair Care

Hey, Supernatural,

It’s your girl Denise on coming to speak to you today about the Wisconsin Assembly overwhelmingly approving Hair Braiding without a #barber or #cosmetology license.

This article speaks to the black community and says that the black community has been pushing for #deregulation for her braiding for years.

It also states that 30 states exempt Hair Braiding from #occupationallicensure in which is State licensure.

Representative Sheila Stubbs and Senator Latonya Johnson are #Black they're saying that the deregulation of #hairbraiding will put more female entrepreneurs in the practice of hair braiding jobs for people of color not just black people.

They're also stating that hair braiders do not use heat or chemicals which I totally disagree with because we know that they use heat (curling irons). It’s my perspective that they are clearly separating the two Hair Braiding from Natual Hair Care.

Please check out the article for yourself.

Research on the impact of SUTURE needles 💉 and blood-borne pathogen exposures 🦠#BlackWomen

Research on the impact of SUTURE needles 💉 and blood-borne pathogen exposures 🦠#BlackWomen

Are you a Cosmetologist or Weaveologist?

Here is a simple suite, salon, shops, spas, and school sharps safety culture for our industry. 

www.hnic.online

I recently read the article “Hair braiding bill represents ‘new narrative’ at legislature” and Rep. Rena Moran’s move to eliminate hair braiding license requirements. I strongly disagree. She thinks she’s helping us, but she’s not. Removing the education piece will only place Black women at even higher health risks.


“Hair braiding” as defined in HF Chapter 155A includes more than just cornrows — it also includes “locking, sewing, twisting, weaving, or wrapping” hair and extensions by hand and by only using simple braiding devices. Those “simple hair devices” include needles under Minnesota Statute 116.76.


These needles are used for installing “scalp hair prostheses” as defined in Minnesota Statutes 62A.28, commonly known as “customized wigs” as included in the Hair Braiding definition, as well as for sew-in weaves.


This is scary as most Black women in braiding salons re-use weaving needles and do not use safety equipment in hair braiding salons and we are the highest rate of HIV, HCV, and HPV contacting in Minnesota.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 385,000 sharps-related injuries occur annually among health care workers in hospitals. While there is no data for exposure to injuries by the Board of Cosmetology or the MN Health Department, the CDC reports that such simple device injuries pose a 24 percent increased risk with suture needles.


As a licensed cosmetologist and hair braider course provider, I helped form the EcoHair Braiders Association, LLC in 2014 along with five hair braider course providers to provide an online learning natural hair course and learning experience for hair braiders. Currently, there are 350 registered hair braiders 156 active, 17-course providers, 2 charter schools and four community colleges offering the hair braiding services and curriculum, “Natural Hair Braiding Safety for the Public and Practitioner.”


As hair braiders, individuals and entities, we authorized, reviewed, and approved the adoption of the rules by the Board of Cosmetology into Chapter 154 and 155A and are now asking Minnesota’s legislators to amend HF 140 to include informative safety oversight research and analysis that will create uniformity and allow reciprocation between 24 other states that currently regulate hair braiding and fiscal note for appropriations.


We also request the creation of a Needle-Stick Committee to help reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens by establishing preventive rules for the safety of the citizens of the state.


We do not want the current hair braiding law repealed, we just want it transferred to another chapter in the Minnesota Statutes to address infection control. In addition to needles, “hair braiders” use glue, cigarette lighters and boiling hot water which could also create health risks. 


We recommend this infection control training be regulated and include three parts: bloodborne pathogen compliance via OSHA and its Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act of 2000; first-aid training from Red Cross; and personal protective equipment training from the Department of Labor and industry to include the use of thimbles and containers. This training could be completed in as few as three hours, but needs to happen annually.


We understand Moran’s desire to remove cumbersome requirements as it relates to the economy, but ultimately see it posing a greater risk for the health of Black women which is our greatest form of wealth.

Should hair braiding be licensed to 💉sew-in weaves?
Jul 05, 201903:46
My Origin Story on Natural Hair Braiding Licensing

My Origin Story on Natural Hair Braiding Licensing

Hi, I’m Denise.
I’m a third-generation hairstylist and licensed in three states.

I desired to open a beauty school that teaches hair weaving.

Not just any school but an online school to teach massive amounts of black women.

My struggle was that the cosmetology boards, requiring an application fee for my hard work.

Fortunately, the courts ruled that hair braiding was an unregulated service, including simple hair devices.

During this, journey the conflicting story about an infection control level of oversight in hair braiding began to emerge.

Not only hair braiders but cosmetologist, estheticians, and barbers core course is infectious diseases.

So from my the first-hand experience, I knew this was true about one particularly intriguing attractive hairstyle is the sew-in weave.

The suture needles are being used to install wefts of donor's hair is seen into braided hair that is attached to the scalp.

This procedure requires infection control training for hair stylist protection.

Cosmetology and Barber Boards protect the customers.

Not us!

It's time you protect yourself from high-risk cross transmission diseases.

This Infection Control training helps you to create the ultimate trust with a healthy and ”safe salon sharps culture.”

Lucky enough this is a one-hour life-changing training to open a Weaveologist salon today.
