Are we still talking about hair in the workplace?

Today is National CROWN Day, a day that commemorates the inaugural signing of the first CROWN Act legislation in California on July 3, 2019, to “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair”. This legislation was brough forth to address the issue of hair discrimination in academic and professional settings, particularly for curls, afros, locs, braids, and twists. Yet, today in 2026, 20 states have yet to pass this legislation preventing discrimination on the basis of hair in school and the workplace. Discrimination on the basis of hair is still a problem, and can prevent Black women from accessing educational and economic opportunities.

Where We Stand
We support the CROWN Act and you can too
The journey to pass the CROWN Act continues. At Lillian Augusta Beauty, we embrace the artistic, variation, and beauty of curly, coily, and kinky hair. No one should be left at a disadvantage for something inherent to their body. Join us in advocating for the full passage of the CROWN Act to end hair discrimination.
