    Hair braiders in Pennsylvania are hoping to be exempt from regulatory oversight.

    “The Philadelphia Inquirer” reports that the PA state senate passed a bill last month that would free braiders from formal instruction.

    Democratic Senator Anthony Williams said the legislation would remove excessive and unnecessary barriers and would encourage entrepreneurism.

    However, the bill never became law.

    Braiders argue that because many learn the art informally and do not use chemicals, that they should be free from Pennsylvania regulations.

    “The Inquirer” reports that 33 states have de-regulated hair braiding.
