Hair discrimination is real y'all. I've experienced it and know of countless others who have too. But, hopefully the house approved "Crown Act" can help put an end to race-based hair discrimination or at least hold perpetrators accountable. The law is set to make its way before the senate before it can become a part of federal law. 

It's unfortunate that in 2022, women of color still have to stress over how their hair is perceived in the workplace. I can't count the number of times I've heard clients say natural hair isn't professional or they quickly come in for a press because anything other than straight is not "acceptable" for a job interview. 

While we wait for the Crown Act to hopefully become federal law...I should point out that a few states have passed their own laws on the matter including New York, New Jersey, California and most recently Massachusetts, to name a few. 

But beyond bills and laws, my hope is that anyone who chooses to wear their hair "natural" becomes more comfortable and confident in how it grows from their scalp.
