Natural Hair Care Information Update
During the last session of the North Carolina General Assembly a bill was passed and signed into law by Governor Bev Perdue that pushes the deadline for natural hair care specialists to become licensed to July 1, 2012. Current natural hair care practitioners will have an additional year to obtain licensure by passing the state board examination developed by NIC, the Board's testing provider. Natural hair care salons will also be required to become licensed within the year.
Cosmetologists are licensed to practice natural hair care and need not obtain an additional natural hair care license.
