Natural Hair Braiding, HIV and HPV in the Black community
Hi #naturalhair community.
Today I’m asking for the natural hair care community of #Black Women, to elaborate more on the NEEDLE usage in the Hair Braiding salon.
The #Underground natural hair care industry is underfunded, uneducated and, currently unregulated.
The #Health concerns of HIV and HPV in the public outway the lack of knowledge on how to maneuver the government’s responsibility to protect the people.
Ongoing #Safety hazards in natural hair braiding salons are posted every day on social media sites such as; Facebook, Youtube, and Google with many comments and issues that all happen in Hair Braiding salons.
#Sanitation plays a key factor in many of the natural hair braiding salons and the opportunity to advance the hair braiding 30-hour course into 300 hours to increase #STEM learning.
The hair braiding license is another #Occupational Licensing but it’s one in the favor of #BlackWomen. Below are the organizations and the links to the websites discussed in this post.
The Minnesota Board of Cosmetology
The Court Order
The OSHA Blood-Borne Pathogens
The New York Natural Hair Care
