Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Black women with natural hairstyles are less likely to get job interviews
Historically, women’s hair has been elaborately or moderately dressed in some special ways according to the custom, tradition, and perception of the society since before agriculture became popular. In some cultures, long straight hair was admired and preferred for women. In other times, the pushed back hairstyle was popular among upper-class women. Indeed, women’s hairstyles seem not only reflect the social trend but also represent the person’s identity, which, in turn, creates their perception by others. In America, a new study found that black women’s hairstyles seem to affect the chances to get job interviews. According to the research, straightened hair gets better chances than their natural hairstyles including afros, twists, or braids.
Since standard perceptions of beauty and professionalism are often set by the leading or majority group within the society, white women in America, hairstyle bias to black women do exist when it comes to job interviews.
Read the article and learn about what could create a racial bias for job applicants in America.
