The stars of CBS’s hit soap opera “Beyond the Gates” removed their wigs for a portrait to celebrate natural hairstyles during Black History Month.
Daphnée Duplaix, Tamara Tunie, and Karla Mosley took off their wigs and joined the social movement of Black women who celebrate their natural hair.
In the video below, Dani (Karla Mosley) is arrested for pulling a gun at Bill and Hayley’s wedding.
The natural hair movement is a movement that encourages people of African descent to embrace their natural, afro-textured hair – especially in the workplace.
The movement originated in the United States during the 1960s, and resurged in popularity in the 2000s.
The first natural hair movement on record started in the 1960s. It was known as the “Black is Beautiful” movement.
The movement was about embracing the beauty of our skin tones, facial features, and our glorious crowns.
Today the movement is being kept alive by young Black women on college campuses who love their natural hair.
Natural hairstyles are versatile and beautiful. They include braids, locs, bantu knots, twists, and afros.
The CROWN Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in March 2022. The CROWN Act extends civil rights protections to natural hairstyles worn in the workplace.
The legislation was passed after sales representatives like Imani Jackson and news anchors like Brittany Noble-Jones were terminated from their jobs for wearing their natural hair in the workplace.
