Thanks for sharing the article. Yes it happens to black folks pretty often here in America. My relatives have had to shave their head (they had nice/neat dreads) and I’ve had friends who have been told their hair is too “unprofessional” for the job or it’s “unkempt” even though it’s just their natural hair (braids, curls, etc.) I hate that this law had to be made, but on the flip side I’m glad they won’t have to deal with that blatant racism.

Not for black people, it’s more common than you think.

black people, like myself, have dealt with this when trying to get hired for jobs. Saying our hair looks “unprofessional” or “unkempt” when wearing our natural hair. It’s pretty common at least for the black community.
