class="content__text" Your hair should not be used to determine whether you are qualified for employment. Bias against natural hair and protective styles such as braids, locs, twists, and knots can impact how #BlackWomen navigate the hiring process. The CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study found that "2/3 of Black women modify their hair during a job interview, and among them, 41% switch from curly to straight hair." This is unacceptable! @Dove and @LinkedIn want to hear from you. What has your experience been with wearing your hair in a protective style or in its natural state at work? Help us raise awareness about hair discrimination and microaggression by sharing your hair story on #LinkedIn. Show us how you rock your CROWN at work by including your photo in your story. Use the hashtags #BlackHairIsProfessional, #Dove, and #LinkedIn and tag a colleague to join the movement to #PassTheCROWN nationwide. Visit Dove.com/LinkedIn to sign the petition and access free learning courses that support a more equitable workplace. #BlackHairIsProfessional #CROWNCoalition
