Hair Bratters Sue for the Right to Make a Living Out of Hair Braiding

Three women have been practising african style hair braiding for combined 60 years. Idaho's costly and time consuming licensing process has kept them from practising their trade. Braters must undergo 16 hundred hours of training at a cosmotology school before completing a written and practical exam. Only two out of the 110 questions on the written exam test students on braiding. The practical exam does not cover braiding at all.
