The CROWN Act Makes Our Hair Just as Protected as Race, Sex, and Religious Beliefs

This year is Allure’s 30th Anniversary, and we’re celebrating by looking back at iconic moments in beauty from the past three decades. You can read more articles like this one here. Let’s start with facts: In a study conducted by Dove in 2019, 80 percent of Black women surveyed reported having to change their hairstyle from its natural state to “fit in at the office.” From the postal service to the military to Fortune 500 corporations, racial discrimination has been forbidden since 1964, when Pr…

How 7 Celebrities Are Sharing Self-Care Rituals With Family - Allure

Parents bequeath many things to their children: eye color, hair texture, freckles… and maybe an appreciation for gua sha.

This story is a part of The Truth About Hair Loss, an exploration into why we lose our hair, the emotional and monetary costs that come along with the experience, and what the future of treatment (and acceptance) could look like. In a world where other people are often still making early judgment calls based on someone’s hairstyle — blonde and you’re a ditz, Afro and you’re an activist, and so on — you’d think the absence of hair would free a person of all that weight. And yet, first glance assu…

Beyoncé's Mom Gave Me a Haircut Using Cécred Products

“Let me give you a trim.” This is a phrase that typically strikes fear in a Black woman’s heart. It takes only one salon appointment gone awry, where you ask for a dusting and get a three-inch haircut instead, to create trim trauma. But on this day, I don’t think twice and say, “I’m game if you are.” The fact that it’s been only four weeks since my last appointment with the scissors (I typically go every three months) doesn’t even faze me because the person who is going to cut my split ends is M…
