Mitchell of California, to ensure protection against discrimination based on race-based hairstyles by extending statutory protection to hair texture and protective styles such as braids, locs, twists, and knots in the workplace and public schools, the ability to wear natural hair styles has exploxed into the mainstream even more. Women and men of color are demanding respect in all forms! Leading to a movement towards more natural hair textures in the Black and Brown communities.
