AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce regulations for hair braiders. It amends the existing law by defining "Natural Hair Braiding" as twisting, wrapping, weaving, extending, locking, or braiding hair either by hand or with mechanical devices. It then exempts natural hair braiding from the rules and regulations issued by the Board of Registration of Cosmetology and Barbering, effectively deregulating this practice.
