The prerequisite for obtaining a license includes 1,600 hours of training at a cosmetology school and completing both a written and a practical exam.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit argues that most of that training is irrelevant for professional hair braiders. Idaho law does not require cosmetology schools to teach students African-style braiding techniques, and only 2 out of 110 questions on the written exam are related to braiding, with the practical exam not covering braiding at all, according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three Idaho women are filing a lawsuit to address the braiding license requirements that
