Natural hair bias exists, and now there's proof that it affects the hiring process.
Ashleigh Shelby Rosette, a management professor and a senior associate dean at the university, said, “The impact of a woman’s hairstyle may seem minute, but for Black women, it’s a serious consideration and may contribute to the lack of representation for Blacks in some organizational settings.murder and the corresponding protests, many organizations have rightly focused on tactics to help eradicate racism at systemic and structural levels.
Black women with natural hairstyles received lower scores on professionalism and competence and were not recommended as frequently for interviews compared with three other types of candidates: Black women with straightened hair, white women with curly hair and white women with straight hair, the researchers found.
Some straightening processes can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars and can cause hair breakage, scalp disease and other health complications, Rosette noted. For example, hair relaxers can be corrosive. The active ingredient in many of these products is sodium hydroxide , which is also the active ingredient in drain cleaner. Though no-lye relaxers contain a modified version of lye, they can be just as damaging. And ahair relaxers may increase the risk of uterine fibroidsIn one of the study’s experiments, two groups of participants evaluated the same job candidate, who was a Black woman.
