You might be a victim of hair discrimination. Hair discriminaiton is when an employer has a hair or grooming policy that unequally impacts people with certain hair types. Such policies often discriminate against natural, curly, textured hair. In effect, people of color, specifically black women, are unequally impacted by these types of policies. Fortunately, some states have adopted the CROWN Act, which stands for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair.” For example, in California, the CROWN Act prevents employers from using race neutral grooming policies that in reality disparately impact people of color. Only 4 other states, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland have adopted similar laws. However, many other states and the federal government have introduced similar bills.
