Colorado Prohibits Hairstyle Discrimination
As a reminder, the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act of 2020 (CROWN Act) has amended the definition of race under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act to include hair texture, hair type or a protective hairstyle that is commonly or historically associated with race. This includes hairstyles such as braids, locs, twists, tight coils or curls, cornrows, bantu knots, afros and headwraps.
