On June 27, 2019, thanks to Sisterlocks wearer, Sen. Holly Mitchell, California is making another ground-breaking move with anti-discrimination legislation relating to natural hairstyles in the workplace and in schools.

* Excerpt from LA Times *
The legislation comes 20 years after Sisterlocks, a San Diego-based natural hair care management company, successfully argued a case involving hair care discrimination. The company argued its practitioners shouldn’t be required to undergo 1,600 hours of training to obtain a state license because natural hair care wasn’t taught in cosmetology schools and is, in large part, a cultural practice.
"This legislation could potentially set a precedent nationally as our case did," said Dr. JoAnne Cornwell, the founder of Sisterlocks.
