NATURAL HAIR


Natural hair has not been chemically altered in texture, color, or volume. Natural hair is not pressed or altered by excessive heat, electric curling, or other thermal services. Any treatment that destroys or breaks down the natural coil pattern of the hair strand (meaning that the hair will not return to its original coiled pattern) denatures the hair. If the hair has been altered chemically, it requires six months to a year to grow into its natural state.

It is important to note that as states begin to adopt "Natural Hair Care" licenses, the rules and regulations governing the license may allow services that contradict what natural hair should represent. For example, the Toronto Natural Hair Care license allows natural hair to be thermally altered, but restricts stylists from coloring natural hair. In New York, you must have a certified cosmetologist license to chemically color hair. Many people become confused and think that pressing is a natural service simply because it does not involve chemicals.
