WEARING MY CROWN TO WORK: THE CROWN ACT AS
A SOLUTION
TO SHORTCOMINGS OF TITLE VII FOR HAIR
DISCRIMINATION IN THE WORKPLACE
Margaret Goodman*
I. INTRODUCTION
Hair can be a significant part of a person’s cultural identity.1 It
can be used as an expression of identity as “[h]airstyles and rituals
surrounding hair care and adornment convey powerful messages about
a person’s beliefs, lifestyles, and commitments.”2 Unfortunately, the
cultural significance of a person’s hair is not viewed as important under
the law.
Imagine applying for a job. You spend countless hours
searching for employment. You send your resume and cover letter to
hundreds of employers. Finally, you get an interview. You practice
for your interview and polish the fine details of your resume. You
choose the perfect professional attire and grab your briefcase. You
meet the interviewer and ace the interview. However, you are then
told you must change your hairstyle before your actual employment
begins. When you ask for clarification, they cite that your hairstyle is
“messy,” “unkempt,” and “unprofessional.” This is the case for many
people of color, including Beverly Jenkins, Renee Rodgers, Charles
Eatman, Carmelita Vazquez, and Chastity Jones. All of their stories
will be shared in this Note.3

Hair discrimination has existed for centuries and has been
perpetuated by workplace grooming policies.4 These policies can be
facially neutral,5 by requiring “professional” or “businesslike”
appearances but still have discriminatory effects by applying
disproportionately to minority employees. Federal employment
discrimination claims are governed under Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, which is a statutory provision to protect employees
against workplace discrimination based on their race, color, religion,
sex, or national origin.6
Workplace grooming policies can be disproportionately
discriminatory against people of color based on the nature and texture
of their hair, which has distinct qualities compared to those of their
white counterparts.7 Across the United States, there has been a push
for the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act
(“CROWN Act”),8 to protect people of color in t
