Cosmetology licensing required ~1600 hours of training centered on chemical-based white hairstyling while not teaching African hair braiding at all (which uses no chemicals), effectively outlawing African hair stylists and forcing them into the black market; litigation led California to replace the 1600-hour requirement with a 16-hour sanitation requirement—the appropriate form of regulation.
