According to a new survey by LinkedIn and Dove, many Black women revealed that hair discrimination prevented them from obtaining professional opportunities.
Exactly 1,000 Black women, ages 25 to 64, participated in the CROWN Research Study.
25% of the Black women surveyed, ages 25 to 34, said they were forced to go home from work because of their hair.
Nearly 66% of the women polled claimed they changed their hair for a job interview to avoid being turned down because of hair discrimination.
Last March, the House passed the Crown Act to ban hair discrimination. In 2019 California became the first state to prohibit hair discrimination. Other states, like Massachusetts, passed anti-hair discrimination laws as well.
