The American Hairbraiders & Natural Haircare Association (AHNHA) is a cultural hair care trade organization. AHNHA members include hair braiders, natural hair stylists, locticians, cosmetologists, consumers and business owners. We invite you to our network of natural hair culturists who, like yourself, strive to make this industry a success. AHNHA is committed to providing you with industry-related information and resources. Professional braiders and natural hair culturists have been challenged nationwide with regulatory issues that threaten the spirit of economic and cultural liberty. Through our collective efforts and nationwide presence, we will guide the hair braiding and natural hair care industry to establishing its future mark while preserving our culture. Your participation is essential and you have a voice through AHNHA.

WHAT MAKES AHNHA DIFFERENT

The American Hairbraiders & Natural Haircare Association is an organization developed to address:

• state laws that affect our cultural practice
• professional standards for practice
• your economic liberty

Our focus is not fashion trends; it is economic and cultural liberty. In order for you to continue a thousand-year old hair tradition in a hassle-free environment, we will keep you up-to-date on state laws, business trends and issues of importance to our industry.
