At NHPC, we firmly believe that UNITY amongst natural hair stylists is the key to our success.
Together, we can stop legislation from erasing our profession.
But to do so, we must move as one.

​Any attempt to divide or derail our efforts —intentionally or unintentionally—will only weaken the cause.

 

The NHPC stands committed to a united, inclusive, and organized front as we continue to engage with legislators, media, and public stakeholders on behalf of the natural hair industry, both locally and nationally.
