This week, we're revisiting an exploration of hair braiding gone
wrong. Online, women looking to get box braids have gone viral with
their complaints about confusing pricing structures, minimal care,
and poor customer service. Brittany Luse chats with public
historian and YouTuber Jouelzy to get an overview of the tension.
Then, Jessica Poitras, legislative counsel for the Institute of
Justice, joins the show to talk about the legal roadblocks many
hair braiders face in setting up their businesses. And later,
Brittany is joined by stylist Tyré Rimple to discuss the hidden
costs behind braiding. This segment first aired last summer.
