Dove | As Early As Five | End Race-Based Hair Discrimination

Can you imagine what would happen to a teacher if she actually did this?

[naomimosby]

Absurd we have to fit what they think is acceptable. What about y’all showing up with messy buns? And as soon as we have our natural hair as it is y’all want to touch it and etc.

Even with my dreadlocks, black women ask me why don't I get rid of them. Insane...

[BlameslessT-rex]

Can someone show me a real world example of this being a thing?

[prisonisinourminds]

I’m white and I in general don’t understand why hairstyle is such a problem in school. It doesn’t effect studying only limits one’s creativity.

Heartbreaking. We live in such an evil broken world ! Black girl, black woman, you are LOVED!

[mommaweed]

Imagine being told at age 5 (or any age!) that the way your hair grows out of your scalp naturally is NOT acceptable in the world. Very heartbreaking.

I see people here talking from their own bubble experience here, just look into the 2022 news about braids being not allowed in schools across the country, your own experience is not representative of the whole, be more compassionate.

Hair discrimination is so wrong and it shouldn’t be justified

[osagiee.guobadia-secondytc]

This is something that needs to be done. : (

[bernaw.]

Our hair styles go back centuries. Different hair styles would depict if you were married, your status etc. We have a right to wear our hair anyway we want.

Thank you @dove and @thecrown act for allowing me to be a part of this powerful message!!!!

[cowboyrider]

the way people treat poc just because of the way they style their hair is disgusting. braiding your hair is not harmful to anyone around you, in fact, it's not harmful to anything at all. if people want to let the way you look define you, they need to work on being a better person. let people look the way they want without being treated differently! it's the 21st century, for crying out loud!!

[Heyguhh]

This comment section is NOT it🤦🏾‍♀️ just bc you havent seen or heard doesnt mean it hasn’t happened. Its a proximity issue

[trumaniumc]

Does this really happen in lots of places? Can anyone name one school with this hair policy?

[roseyrosee]

Black people have beautiful hair I can't style my hair like they do

[silverfoxylady]

For me, it wasn't school or my jobs, it was my Hispanic mother. She hated seeing my natural curly hair flow free. She always put my hair in ponytails or braids...anything to tame it. To this day, she tells me to go comb my hair or to "fix it" whenever I visit. I love my natural curls even though it took a long time to embrace it.

I am a South Asian guy. I just wanted every one to know that.

Kids are supposed to have funny hair in school
