When will workplace hair discrimination *officially* end?

In the midst of very public brand closures and challenges to stay open, such as seen over the past year with Hanifa, Curl Mix, and Adwoa Beauty, Black-owned beauty supply stores are quietly feeling the squeeze as well.
Latest Closures:
Legacy Beauty Supply (Texas)
Della’s Beauty Supply (Michigan)
Beauty2Go (Pennsylvania)
Curly Gurl Luv (California)
Wright for You Beauty (DMV)
Black owned beauty supply stores experience limited access to capital, difficulty in working with distributors to get products, and constraints with achieving minimum order quantities from brands.
