South Dakota will now allow people to braid hair for money without obtaining a full cosmetology license, creating a new category of licensed natural hair braiders with their own requirements separate from traditional cosmetologists. The bill amends the state's cosmetology laws to define what natural hair braiding is and establish specific licensing standards for people who want to offer braiding services for compensation. This change makes it easier for hair braiders to operate legally without completing the extensive training required for a full cosmetology license.
