The Crown Act
Hair discrimination is deeply rooted in systemic racism, preserving white spaces by prohibiting natural Black hairstyles, such as afros and braids. Black and brown individuals, especially women, often face discrimination in schools and workplaces due to their hair texture and style, leading to unjust removal from classrooms and jobs. The CROWN Act, passed in 24 states and gaining momentum nationwide, seeks to prohibit hair-based discrimination, ensuring dignity and respect for cultural expression in professional and educational settings.

The Strand Test
The strand test is an easy method to determine your hair texture and type!
1. Start by selecting a clean, dry strand of hair from an inconspicuous area of your head.
2. Lay the strand on a white sheet of paper and compare its thickness to a standard sewing thread: if thinner than the thread you have less textured hair; if it is of similar thickness, you have medium texture; and if it is thicker, you have textured hair.
3. Next, run your fingers along the strand to assess its texture: delicate and fine indicates less texture, slightly thicker and spunk indicate medium texture, and coily and vivacious indicate textured hair. Give it a try!
