Black Women's Natural Hair May Hinder Job Prospects

  • A new study finds what many Black women have heard for years: natural hair could cost them a job.
  • The Duke University study finds that discrimination against natural Black hairstyles is prevalent among those making hiring decisions. 
  • The study compared 4 different job candidates: a Black woman with natural hair, a Black woman with straight hair, a white woman with curly hair, and a white woman with straight hair.
  • Black women with natural hair were marked for lower professionalism and competence. Those women also did not get recommended for interviews as often as the other women.
