class="content__text" Did you know that 44% of Black women under the age of 34 feel pressured to take a headshot with straight hair? Hair discrimination has led Black women to feel more self-conscious when applying for jobs. The CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study shows "Black women’s hair is 2.5 times more likely to be perceived as unprofessional." While legislation inspired by the CROWN Act prohibited workplace hair discrimination in 20 states, much work remains to be done. Join #Dove and #LinkedIn as they partner to build an inclusive and equitable workplace culture across the nation. Our natural and protective hairstyles are not doing the job; we are. Help spread the word that #BlackHairIsProfessional by sharing your workplace hair story and headshot on LinkedIn. Make sure to tag @Dove , @LinkedIn , as well as your colleagues.

Liberation is the feeling you get when you watch Florida Evans confidently rocking her low afro or when you see our sista Andi keeping it consistent with the twist.​ When Black stories are being told on the television screen, let’s keep it authentic, CROWN and all. ​ #TheCROWNAct #BlackHistoryMonth

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.

class="content__text" "The fact that we have to give accounts about our hair and why our hair looks different today," is a statement to which many Black working women can relate. In an interview with @bmluse for the "It's Been a Minute" podcast, @RepCori listed the opportunities Black women lose when they don't adhere to styling their hair a particular way in the workplace. 📸: Watch more of the interview by visiting the @NPR Podcast YouTube channel. #TheCROWNAct #BlackHairIsProfessional #RepCoriBush #NPR

class="content__text" Inequitable treatment of Black women due to their hair texture and protective style is still a persistent issue in the workplace. Black women frequently encounter hair bias and microaggressions in both the hiring process and while on the clock. According to the new "CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study," Black women’s hair is 2.5 times more likely to be perceived as unprofessional. 2/3 of Black women change their hair for a job interview, and amongst them, 41% change their hair from curly to straight. Associating Black textured hair and protective styles with being unkempt, unpolished, and distracting in the workplace is discriminatory. While #TheCROWNAct provides legal protections against hair discrimination in some states, there is still work to be done. In an effort to make the work environment more inclusive, @Dove and @LinkedIn partnered in support of passing the CROWN Act.
