Black women with natural hairstyles are less likely to get job interviews than White women or Black women with straightened hair, new research shows.

Participants in the studies, carried out by researchers from Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, perceived natural Black hairstyles as less professional, and the effect was particularly pronounced in industries where a more conservative appearance is common.

Rosette told CNN that while it is not standard practice for job applicants to provide photos, it is incredibly easy for recruiters to look someone up online."It would almost be an automatic thing to Google the person's name and see what their profile looks like on social media," she said.Results also varied by industry.

But what has to be understood is that people have different tastes.

Race baiters shameful

Stop with that nonsense if u have the skills u get the job stop with the hair bullshit

Pathetic

What does hair have to do with anything?

Depends on how strict the company is. Get them good hair products ladies and gents!

More examples of “racism”!! White people make a lot of uncomplimentary comments about black people’s hair and,yet, they are weirdly curious about it and always wanting to touch it and see what it feels like!!

Wow, you will do and say anything to keep the pot stirred. How about reporting some REAL news for a change?!

CNN STOP WITH THIS BULLSHIT

Can’t you find important news to write about. Sexy women got jobs begore than less attractive ones, years ago. They had to serve their bosses coffee & put up with unwanted advances.We got an education & became successful. We got even.

Deny your natural self and THEN YOU'LL BE SEEN AS AMERICAN SHIDDDDDD

Is that why Angela Rye, April Ryan, Maxine Waters...straighten their hair? Michelle Obama too. Joy Reid too. Kamala too. They all got the JOB! Why the need to STRAIGHTEN? Could it be for reasons other than employment?

😂😂🤥🤥 this is such 💩 whobelievesthistrash wakeup justcombyourhair stupidpeople

I always think that natural is better for black women...of course their choice. 😉

Another racebaiting artical from cnn. Why are so many msm outlets so determined to keep racialtensions going. You're a disgrace.

Wigs?

That is such crazy, i want people to stand out, show who they are what they love, no barriers. Unique is fun, Inspiring and amazing.

CNN always spreading hate and divide

why would their hairstyle affect their ability to even get an interview?

“Are less likely to get job interviews.” Explain: most applications are online so the employer has no idea what hairstyle someone has. So, how in the world does this work? Lmao

100% True

Weird.....this has been CNN's main story while giving almost zero coverage to Cannon Hinnant's murder. So CNN what you're telling me is women with unkempt hair being less desirable to hire is more newsworthy than the murder of a small child? SAY HIS NAME! SAY HIS F*CKING NAME!!!!

keeping all things same?

Thats a racist statement.

I think you meant to say ,,'jobs', not 'job interviews'. You even reposted the error. , anyone edits these posts. Yes, Black ppl, Muslims, LGBTQ are the groups that suffer most in employment. Just say that then.

The same occurs with fat people, the lgbt people, handicapped or another person diferent. The question is how you live with this.

I call bullshit. Have you ever been invited for an interview any other way than through a phone call? Not me. They can't see your hair style through a phone call. This is so stupid.

Shit... Black women with natural hair to the front of the line.

How is that when resumes don’t have photos

Do one on ugly people.

CNN is so full of shiit! Black women come to work every day with different hair, one day is long, tomorrow is short straight next day is Blonde Bob other day is blonde Long etc etc they have a different hair for day of the month, nobody said anything

You can’t twist every stat into possible racist origins. If that’s all you look for that’s all you’ll see......

OMG!!!! CNN and their propaganda. US should pass a new law where all News channels are allowed only for 30 minutes in 24 Hours.

I think that natural hairstyles are not looked upon favorably for white women, either. Employers like to see neat hair & I love the beautiful braided hairstyles that many women of color employ. Gorgeous & creative! One black friend told me it took 3 days to braid her hair!🌄👍🏿👍

Communist to capitalist translation: We try to further the racial divide so it’s easier to control you. Transparency is awesome, isn’t it?

Awwww.

Do they ask about hair type on applications now?

Quit regurgitating the same stories over and over.

Stop with the bullshit oh u can't CHINA. Hell people go 2 interviews in regular clothes. I'm sure hair styles dont matter

This isn't new research. people have been saying this for years and it's not uncommon to witness it in person. And if Black women do get hired, there's always a point where they're asked to straighten their hair because it's 'too unruly' some states have hair discrimination. laws

Then straighten you hair for the interview. It’s called and interview!!! Give yourself the best chance, to your ability, in obtaining the job!

Or people who are heavy or bald or short. CNN YOU are disgusting. Truly

Sad but true

Don’t racism,all lives matter

Damn you CNN... You guys are so racist!!

I guess that proves we are all racist.

I got most of my job interviews while wandering around my apartment without pants on because it's the 90's and I set it up over the internet.

Absolutely not true

What about white guys with dreadlocks? Or has no one bothered to do the research?

What are they supposed to wear...a hat? No more racist fabrications to push separation of the races. I don’t even know Twitter doesn’t flag these articles as racist and hate speak!

CNN the mouth Piece for Marxism

CNN is much more dangerous to mankind than a atomic warhead.

Why have I seen this race baiting article so many times!!!! You need better content. This is pathetic.

What a truck load of BS. Please stop this non sense. Co-relation is NOT Causation.

This is literally the 4th time I’ve seen this story reposted. But Cannons story only gets posted once? Interesting. SayHisName

There you go with race baiting as usual from CNN. This is not news, this is an obvious attempt to divide folks

CNN went almost 24 hours without a race-based Tweet....almost.

Why are we discussing hair. I can think of more important things to talk about. Im African American, and I have never had a problem getting a job. I wear my hair, wigs, and weaves, hats, scarves, etc.

I think cnn wants us to have a race war.

Race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race race racist.

JOHN PETER SMITH HOSPITAL HAD A BIG CAMPAIGN ON THE NEWS ABOUT WHY THEY SHOULD END THE WOMANS LIFE, CLAIMING SHE HAD BEEN IN A CAR WRECK..

This article is Capricious’ fastidious’gregarious and idiosyncratic

FALSE! I’m a recruiter and we recruit all different types of people from all different backgrounds depending on qualifications. STOP SPREADING DIVISIVE BULLSHI*

THE WOMAN IN THE NEWS AT JOHN PETER SMITH WAS MY DAUGHTER AND THE MAN THAT HAD GOTTEN HER IN THAT CONDITION WAS THE ONE THEY HAD PUT WITH HER TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS NOT WITH ME.... HE STAYED WHERE SHE WAS UNTIL HER DEATH MAKING SURE SHE COULD NOT RECOVER.

Always been that way, since days of slavery. White masters would make those that worked in the Big house, always cover their hair with scarves, etc. Nothing new.

What about average black women degree and performance?

What's a white man with a 'natural' hairstyle? Dreadlocks?

FakeNews

If we’re re-thinking what we consider “professional look” then I just wonder where do we draw the line.

If you lose an interview because your hair's not straight? Smile and move on. You don't want that job. beyou

Racebaiter

FYI CNN, THIS ISN'T NEW NEWS. SURPRISED A HUHGE CABLE NEWS NETWORK LIKE YOURS IS JUST NOW TWEETING THIS HARD COLD FACT. SURELY YOU'VE SEEN THIS? PERHAPS IN FRONT OF YOUR OWN EYES? 👀

And what about non black women with natural hairstyles? Can't you see the race baiting people?

That’s...I can’t even. 🤦🏻

HoltDaved Or is it because they are just not good enough. ?

Bullshit propaganda. 'New Research' is garbage, paid for by divisionist shills and amplified by a corrupt anti-American media. Q.E.D.

Cuz business leaders are still idiots about most things...right? ...jeezus gawd! when do we grow the F up

I'm not even going to look at this. Black ppl know this. That's y we go to interviews /w straight hair. And after the probation we slowly introduce the company to our true hair. Truth. These are convos that women have been having for decades.But white ppl are just getting it now.

Strange, not one of the replies to the tweet actually deals with the issue.The issue here is that Black women with “Natural Hair” have to meet a standard of white society perpetuated by having “Straightened Hair” or “Weave on” thus making them less successful in their careers🤔

Sad. They have beautiful hair

Of course appearance matters in certain jobs. Did they put White Woman with nontraditional hair style in the mix as well. It doesn't say, that would skew the data.

Like the democrats vp choice?

This isn’t news. “Attractive people get more attention always. If “you” don’t fit any ideal you are at a disadvantage: short, obese, bald, ugly, glasses, disability, etc... what a waste of time.

CannonHinnantsLifeMattered

I would think it's the one's with the fake hair as they not being true to themselves..

This is a very sad statistic if it is true. How could anyone live with themselves and judge someone based on their hair or their color.

And what is a 'natural' hairstyle, CNN?

Why should Black women have to straighten up their hair to look like White women?

My Cuz worked in one of the luxurious hotel in South Africa....she was told to change her natural cause it was unprofessional.....deep down in Africa yall

BS. I have long and curly hair and I’ve NEVER had a problem getting a job. Stop with the BS.

That is the stupidest STUDY ever done!

Nice job CNN. Just go ahead and start another riot, Idiots. You guys always half to stir the pot on everything. I'm surprised you people haven't got hurt yet from your shit-talking. 🖕CNN.

Crack open a pack when you're a race baiting hack CNN

Dispicable.

That is the main picture I want you to see and where he didnt manage to hide.

Same applies for literally any person lol. Men also have to cut and keep their hair neat if they're working in a professional job.

racism alive and well in the good ol' US of A

I AM TRYING TO TELL ALL AMERICANS AND OUR WORLD THE PROBLEMS WE FACE AND I NEED EVERYONE TO AFFORD AS MUCH AID AS POSSIBLE THAT AN AUTHENTIC WOMAN CAN BE MINE AND SO THAT WE CAN HUG AND KISS AND HAVE INTERCOURSE WITH EACH OTHER AND LIVE TOGETHER.. I AM OLD AND WAITING

Isn’t wearing a blonde wig cultural appropriation?

Wich research

That’s bull shit, shouldn’t make any difference

Keep doing everything you can to fuel racism cnn Another mindless article with absolutely no legitimate data to back up, unbelievable

That is it ...You must lock-down the country, shut down businesses, cancel flights, cancel hospital appointments, close roads and bridges, ban gathering for more than one and half people, allow exercise for one hour a day at most.

And

Please stop retweeting this because we are tired of being told that we are second class citizens because of our colors.

But more likely to get into Yale so that’s great!

We live in 2020 and stuff like this still exists..

LOL...yes indeed, this opinion is front page news worthy....

Why does CNN whitewash all their 'black' photos? I've been noticing this for a while.

Maybe they should pull an Ayanna Pressley and just buzz it. Then we don't have to listen to the whining

That's really absured

Seriously This Statistics are needed?

Funny. How would the interviewers had seen her hair before the interview? Many interviews are held over the phone. LMAO 😂😜🤣🤡. Clown News Network

daeemn idiots i would set up a company to only hire women with hairstyles like that.

DONT LET THESE CRIMINALS FROM THE PRISON IN FORT WORTH STAY OUT UNTIL ALL BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN OUR NATION ARE DEAD..

Not sure how this is news?!...btw, straightening hair is cultural appropriation if braiding is!

BUT unless you have your picture on LinkedIn, and the employer sees it there, how would they even know (for certain) anything physical about you? Hmm...

Anybody who lets their hair go on kept so much that rodents living it would be unlikely to get a job interview white or black.

That's right..bc/ everyone who submits a resume for a job includes a picture of their hairstyle. F*cking THINK people!!! BidenHarrisLandslide2020 SaveUSPS

Shockingly, when I look at a resume, I have usually have no idea of the race or often the gender of the candidate... let alone their hairstyle. This is idiotic.

interview or job?

Ever wonder why 13% of the population whines about conforming? When in Rome ...

This is RIDICULOUS (this study is bogus)! Every employer only cares if you are doing a great job, not about your hairstyle... You are openly provoking a RACIAL CONFLICT here based on people’s physical differences - you sound CORRUPT, shame on journalists who wrote this 👎👎

This is some race baiting horseshit of an article. They are in the weeds now. Hairstyle and interviews?!? Almost all job applications are now online.

Really, magnificent. I didn't know we have so great statistics. And can we pleas link now to this schema as well education and overall ability to comply with the job ? Back to hair style. Indeed if you hair doesn't look tidy, sorry. I don't want your hair in my face. Any hair.

Did the researches include equal qualifications or just hairstyles? I understand that Researches found that CNN is less likely to hire a Black Republican woman than a White or Black Democratic woman. If their wrong please provide employment stats.

何卒、嘘は語らないで下さい😢😢😢 宜しくお願い致します🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ 私の薬剤についての質問をツイートしています。ご覧下さい。

Hispanic brunettes with curly hair don't give a f*k about this article 💁‍♀️

How sad that black women can't be who we are.

😂🤣😂🤣😂 They needed research for this! That's rich. They probably got paid for the research too. I totally missed that pot of gold.

No offense but.....did y'all really need research for that.

I could’ve told you that... next time use the resources to find out who’s stealing our mailboxes with the intention to avoid counting our ballots

Im curious HOW do you get your research? what companies do you go to? what are the positions you look at? what part of the world? most successful woman Ive seen that are middle class to millionaires have hair such as this so were is the research to prove such?

Idiots

But that photo isnt the typical black natural hair. Y'all are truly afraid to represent Black people how we really are

Yep. This is 🇺🇸. Hair like that is stunning. Wrong country for brown beauty.

How do you think KamalaHarris got the interview? Hairstyle! Oh, and she’s part black.

I know ....been there!

Well that sucks

Who is wasting all of this money on studies showing how a hairstyle has anything to do with getting a job They could have put that money to good use instead of this bs, I haven't had a hard time or have looked at someone's hair when hiring them!!

New LOW

osaanature It is clearly unfair to be judged by hair style, whatever style!

That’s a ridiculous thing to say! America is NOT so racist this is alll cheap propaganda with election goals in mind 🖕🏾

Don’t go there dog!

That’s not right, and extremely racist. Everyone should be allowed to live and thrive as the person they are.... period!

Natural? You mean un-kempt.

So why do employers ask about women’s hair before they meet them ? Seems like an odd question. What this says is that they are less likely to make it to an interview. Why do employers carero ask about hairstyle before they even meet them? Like wtf. Or is it just a coincidence ?

Stories like this is the reason why CNN is not taken seriously.

Anybody know this models name? She is so beautiful. Stock photo, but maybe someone knows?

Is this why I'm not getting interviews, because I'm not putting my hairstyle on my resume?

And how would they know that from a resume exactly? Youre literally just talking out your ass now.

Fck what they say.

Are some of you adding a profile picture to your resume?

This is nuts. Their hair is beautiful. Period.

stopbrexit2016

Didn't need 'NEW' research to tell us that, but go off

Does it really mean black/White all are one

Did they look into white women who didn’t “do” their hair? I’m fairly sure that if I kept my hair natural, I wouldn’t get a job interview either.

I owe you an apology LisaDon23257615 for doubting your sincerity and professionalism right from the beginning i was only scared due to my past experience from imposters. Thanks LisaDon23257615

Says who?

Delete this.

I don't believe that for one second. It's about experience and attitude. No one sends their photo with a resume. No one can see you on a phone call. This is just click bait and race baiting. If you fill out an application there is no place for anyone to write 'natural hair.'

Lmmfao

CNN, why are you the way you are?

also, y’all coulda saved your money bc Black women have been saying this foreverrrr lol “new study”

I would like to have that hair: volume, curly. They shouldn't even straighten them.

Ain’t no fkng research. I could’ve been told y’all that

Also, people not wearing pants.

If Becky can wear a messy top knot bun everyday to work, I’m going to rock my curly natural hair.

Sad, just horrible that people are still (or ever were) this way 😔😢😡🤬

They keep posting this... over and over and over. 😩. We’re not racist.

Now it's hair your bitching about 🙄

Way to keep pushing people apart .

Bald guys are discriminated against. White guys are discriminated against playin in the NBA.

bout nobody read what the study was actually doing, it wasn't focusing on resumes because that makes no sense.

I object! As a bald man (person of baldness?) it hurts my feelings to see any story talking about people with a full head of ANY texture of hair. They are discriminating against the bald by flaunting the fact that they have hair! Outrageous!

So what are we talking about here? Interviews RARELY happen at time of application, with exception of perhaps fast food and retail. Do you have to submit a headshot with your electronic application now?

Many interviewers view Black women's natural hair styles as messy or sloppy. I worked with several Black women in my recent job & they all had their hair styled severely. Never saw them in natural hair styles & one told me nobody would ever know hers.

No shit Sherlock

it's depend on the nature of the job. Academic qualifications are not 100% relating on the hair color

Sticking to the important stories I see

BS! 😒

When did CNN turn into HuffPost?😂

Stop

A lot of triggered white people feeling defensive commenting here.

This is the stupidest article you have ever published

✊🏿

A ghetto hair style says a lot about u. Employers are looking for people who will show up everyday and hopefully never rip them off.

It’s what is brought to the table from that person in the interview. If that person doesnt carry themselves well then they won’t get the job. All the hiring managers I met would hire a green person if they fit the job.

How does a company know what their hair style is BEFORE THE INTERVIEW 🤔🤔🤔

Hiring is filled with biases. This one at least can be easily dealt with.

is RACIST against White folks! They have made that clear! This article is bullshit and so is CNN they are trying to push a race war. The majority of all people are on to your Bullshit.

My wife has that same hair and has never felt like she was denied a job because of it. Stop with petty things please. And that young lady you showed is beautiful.

Or hired for that matter 🙄

Please. Stop.

That’s not natural.

After 30 years relaxing my hair, I went natural. I have never seen it this healthy. I’ll definitely never go back. Black hair is versatile and beautiful. I’m one of the most valuable employees at my job and I have 4-C type hair. Companies need to stop discriminating.

Reposting bullshit to instigate arguments

Thata why every girl on TV has this haircut.....

Cringe CNN, Cringe...

WTH?

Oh please..

Sometimes I just wonder how the “professionals” took so long to figure out what so many of us already knew.

But they're cute.

Unless it is the Vice President (nominee) job!!!!!! We demand black women!

I’m calling bullshit on this as an hr professional

The same is true with Sikhs who wear the turban and have an unshorn beard, across the world. Sad.

Less likely for some positions while not less likely for others.

Oh, for fucks sake, CNN. Give the race-baiting a break for a day.

What it say about White Women🤔

So Jim Acosta is doing research now? CNN is the enemy of the people!!

WHO IS WASTING OUR MONEY ON THESE BOGUS STUDIES.

CNN this is why I stopped watching or reading anything you guys report on . Stop fueling division. Stop!

That’s a shame she is just drop dead beautiful. Perfect and Original. You

Slow news day for CNN? Let me help you with a scoop..how about y’all cover Kevin clinesmith & the dirty FBI. Or how about Cannon Hinnant, an innocent 5 year old white child JusticeForCannonHinnant who was shot in the head in front of his family by a black man That help ya?

I knew this back in the 90’s, which is why I wore straight hair to the interview. A Iittle while after I got the job, I went back to my natural hair.

This is sad but I think it's true. I say play the part that would get you a job that you want, and once you get the job screw them and be yourself. I am gay and if I interview with a dumb narrow minded white guy I channel my hetero woman to land the job...works every time🤣

Sadly this is nothing new.

Matter as simple as neat professional appearance vs not. That’s it.

The appearance of professionalism is on a decline. Black, natural hair, is not unprofessional. Neon colored hair, large gauges in ears, face tattoos, extreme piercings, women in daisy dukes. Those are unprofessional. Those people are everywhere, and every profession.

This is not new. All black women know how it is...

Bullshit.

Yes, as well as nose rings, Turbans, sleeve tats and face piercing. Its the brand an image of the co to reach mid America. . The natural hair if it’s to Afro will cause issues for hires. AfroAms make up less than 12% of Americans. Its a numbers game.

Resumes don’t have pictures so this is crap

Thats cause they never look as good as that girl pictured in this post.

just expect the comments to be upset about the women being a lighter toned woman and briefly bring up the dead concept of colorism.

Bullshit

Everything you guys do start with color , race, gender. The sooner you guys shut up about this crap imma the sooner it will go away. You and your ilk are responsible for what's happening today. This is all your fault. Try a person's character, like the old days

Put a sock in it CNN We like black women with natural hair just as much as straight hair or even a different skin color. Your 'story' is BS and you know it.

Stoking the racial flames huh ? Guess the race riots didn’t burn enough buildings. I’d be careful, your building was not unscathed. Keep up the divisions

Can we also not show a picture of disheveled natural hair, CNN? Most naturalistas in corporate America have very well-maintained, groomed natural hair, whether close-cropped or styled longer curls. Occasionally, someone gets away with the 'curls askew' look, but not usually.

CNN fanning the flames of racism once again. 🤦‍♂️

stop instigating racism, invest the time in research something productive

DUUUUUHHHHHH!

Oh god 🙄

And the race baiting continues.

So how is this survey real? Asked hundreds of people to review mocked up profiles. So the people giving the scores don’t normally do hiring, it’s just their opinion. In other words you had people judging each other who have no real knowledge of what they are judging.

I'm not even going to comment on this except to say BULL SHIT FAKE NEWS.

Does anyone have a link to the actual study?

Why

I'm not straightening my hair for an interview. Absolutely not.

White people are exhausting.

Latinx call my type of hair pelo malo (translates to bad hair), and that’s all you need to know about the Latinx people commenting here like there’s no issue.

Well, if I looked like this, I wouldn't expect a job either. It's a total.........MESS!!!

wbk

Saw this the other day and just shook my head and felt sorry for the folks who miss that natural hair is a sign of confidence and inclusion.

Does the research show who is turning these women down?

Lol

You need research for this?

New research? It should've only confirmed what Black folks already knew... Just stop judging us by how our hair grows out of our head.

Msunery 😏

New Research shows.... the sky is blue… in conclusion. this is nothing new 😒

Tell us something new. We have known this for a long time

now that's dumb. why would anyone hire a person with a wild, unkempt looking hair growth. get cleaned up, get the job, build confidence & a career. not look like a street urchin. having been an hr director, i never hired an unkempt person. you get one shot at a first impression.

Thanks research 🙄

I sadly felt the need to do this for my first interview and second as a teen, I’m older and smarter now. If you can’t rock with my natural hair then I don’t want to work for you!!!! 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

A violent season demands a violent people. The pandemic has tried to kill everything we love. But no matter what ferocious virus/racism is testing us, we will awaken the champion IN US (and innovation) to survive this crisis. To become immune to the devastation it caused.

Because of course, Jeez!! I mean not only is this purely racist and unjust, it’s also so ridiculous to me because I’m truly so jealous of the true beauty and uniqueness of black women’s natural hairstyles. ❤️

Really? Research only realises this now🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Wtf? Come on recruiters you can better, its long over with this racist way.. when focusing on anything thing BUT the the qualification of a candidates previous work experiences. TimeForChange

🙄🙄

that’s why we show up to the interview with straight hair then surprise them with the afro on the first day

NEW RESEARCH

new?!

How so very very sad 😢

Duh

Y’all are calling this bs but are y’all Black? Have yall read dress/hair codes in schools and workplaces stating professional hair? Just bc CNN posted this now doesn’t mean it just started happening. Its been happening and y’all weren’t/didn’t care to listen

Where is the black woman ?

Just say y'all don't like us. My scalp grown hair is professional, acceptable, elegant and beautiful. I will not straighten it to fit your standard of beauty. I have my own!

How do you guys not get exhausted? Y’all will find anything to fuckin fight about.

Black people been knew this🤦🏿‍♂️

America is a sick place

oldnews natural hair, head wraps, protective styles you name it.... We are judged and discriminated against for it.

New research 👩🏽‍🦼

I figured this would have been obvious. My Black girlfriend refuses to leave her hair natural because she knows people treat her differently. I love her hair but I understand why she straightens it. She made a deal with me to let our daughter go natural 😂

“...new research shows.” Who’s new research? This ain’t new.

This can only happen in the USA

That isn’t true...I got an interview and hired on the spot with locs. What research did y’all really do

CNN back at it with the BS

The research I did TWO YEARS AGO showed how the racial microaggressions Black women face affected their work performance. dsrdconsulting can help companies include diversity & inclusion into their org. Structure so that you can prevent things like this

Bullshit!!

These comments are crazy

Google professional hairstyles and unprofessional you will definitely see the truth in this black hair Is just regarded as unprofessional

This does not surprise me at alllllll ... sad, but not surprising. Knowing this has informed some of the ways I’ve worn my hair ... sad, but true.

What a Surprise! CNN feeding the racial fire 🔥 What a sick network 🤮

Y'all dont think white women have curly, crazy, frizzy, maybe even brittle haor too. Ues they too. I'm a hair stlyist. Its not just blacks hair sees not color! CNN nice try!

Nkuli_Ngqola So the workforce is a force of all things unnatural. It is their loss if they are so biased against nature.

Especially in journalism

Fake news !

Yea, so? Whats your point? Im a white guy, and if i had a mohawk i would be less likely to get an interview than the next guy with a regular cut. Its really very simple - If you want something, you address your looks, mannerisms and education, for that job.

This is fucking nonsense! Niyanya! Abanitsheli!!!

she fine what’s her

New research CNN? Really? Is that what this is? New research?

For the whte people and coons in the comments, please define what ”to look professional” is and actually try to explain how the hell is natural hair not professional. And give actual arguments instead of just saying ”that’s how it’s supposed to be”.

This is not new to us! What other new research do you have for us? 'Water is wet' you say..............

Black Women: Duh!

*breaking news*

Race baiting Fascist CNN! With lying fscists, sex and gender are all that matters and affirmative action is alive and well!

white ppl hate natural hair cus its the one thing they can't steal lmao

Lol..... Our world had finally ran mad..... CNN chai. PaulAdemujimi your network is doing well oooooo

THATS YOU AND YOUR IDEOLOGICAL RESEARCH

ok

*pretends to be shocked*😟😟😧😧😩😩

“New Research” If you like wasting money just say that.

But the british prime minister can look like he put his finger in a plug socket and people trust him to run a country.

We unlikely to get a job cause we women the cause we black then cause of our hair what else

And water is also wet.

zolatalk ca me fait penser à 1 de tes lives où suite à ce problème tu avais proposé comme solution de p. e. mettre des pp, pour 1 fois le job obtenu, faire la coupe qu'on voulait, et des gens se sont vener sur toi en disant que c'était n'importequoi 😑😑😑

not white women in the replies comparing their just-got-outta-bed hair that they obviously should brush before work to black women being considered unprofessional even after they style their hair, simply because of their natural texture. yall karens are so fucking embarrassing

True

Who the heck does this kind of research who do they interview and tells them 'I won't hire her because of her hair' You're getting irrelevant day by day!

Such lies though😳😳😳

OK......

Bullshit

A Lot of us naturals (meaning chemical free) straighten our hair for interviews then show up to the job with natural hair (braid outs, twists outs etc). I shouldn’t have to potentially damage my hair to be seen as professional. Luckily SF is ok w/natural hair

It's a shame that this kind of discrimination is still going on today😠

”but but... Black women wear straight hair wigs but complain when white and other non-black women wear black women hairstyles”

It's not new though

White people have kinky hair too. What kind of crap is this? Tired of hearing about things that don't solve the real problems. Click bait bs

I’m wouldn’t hire a natural hairdo.

Hate mongering at its finest. The fake news is set out to divide this country so that the enemies of freedom can finally conquer us.

Well once upon a time I wore my natural hair to work (because you know that's how many non Black people wear it) and I was asked by a co-worker why I would choose to wear it like that. This is also why there aren't many black women in boardrooms but sure, new research.

chances of being called for interview: being black = 3/5 being black and having a black-sounding name = 1/2 being black with natural hair = 1/3 do the math of having all three. however, being white compared to black 150% chance.

THIS IS NO FUCKING NEW RESEARCH TF . DELETE DELETE .

Jesus Christ. So resumes and experience are things of the past?! Somebody refund my student loans!!

That's some serious bulls**t

There was no need to spend money on this 'research'. White people can learn a lot from Black people. All that they have to do is ask. Also, this article is speaking to the white audience, only. Because...WeAlreadyKnow

Karine is gonna be wearing her natural hair as Kamala’s chief of staff.

This is definitely nothing new.....

How sad and pathetic for America

We told y’all lol

'new research'. Black women have known this since FOREVER

How does cnn even think of this shit to put out, its incredible.

Yup. We already know this.

the sky is blue🤩no shit

Non-black people: 1. natural hair does not equal untamed 2. Not knowing how to maintain your curly hair is what looks unprofessional, not HAVING curly hair 3. You can easily wear ur 2a curls to work with the right product and you won’t look like Hermoine Grangers cat 4. 🤫

Today in water is wet news.

Why can’t we just be who we r without the world hatin on everything we do?

Ridiculous, infuriating study results. 😔

Did an entire project on this topic. Natural hair is not to be policed by corporate America.

This was part of the reason I went natural in the first place. I don’t want to work anywhere where my natural hair is an issue - if there is no expectation of women of other races to change their hair in order to be interviewed, I shouldn’t be held to a different standard.

legalCAT10 How skin & hair can confuse the F outta people, is mind-boggling.

Sorry, I will recruit if the person has the right skills for the role. Don’t care how their hair is.

I’ve almost heard it all. Probably not tho coming from these reprobates

That shit needs to change!

HAIR ATTRACTS GERMS! Most people don't wash their hair every single day. Men with facial hair have ten times the bacteria in that hair than clean-shaven men! Oily hair attracts bacteria even faster than dry skin. HAIR is just NOT clean unless cleaned daily!

I got a raise bc I wore my hair natural. Very natural, no weave, no texturizer, just like in that pic. In NY they prefer that bc wigs and weaves are considered sexy so is long hair.

Sad

HairSpray AskKingsley2 OhDear

They should just quit, give up & join blm protests.

Even though I know this happens, it is ridiculous! Women work hard on their hair, no matter the race. AND your hair has nothing to do with your ability to do a job! Women should not have to put up with these dumb standards.

Still spreading hate and racism eh.

I don’t care what color your skin is. If you look like you just got out of bed and walked through a tornado to the job interview it’s going to impact perception

slow news day, huh?

Stupidity has no limits!

Their white supremacist agenda and whitening out blacks has failed woefully😝😛😜

Hmmm, I guess it’s good that I straighten mine, otherwise, it looks crazy.

wow

Are you kidding us? Now we are so systematically racist, a individuals hair keeps them oppressed. Are you trying to insult people’s intelligence? Do you honestly believe, the crap you put out?

will divide us over toe nail fungus given the opportunity.

That’s not news. That’s old news.

Just curious - what other personal grooming habits of people tend to dissuade employers from hiring a particular individual? Tattoos? Certain attire choices? Body piercings? Does long hair that's not put in a ponytail or bun or something also viewed as negative?

Why are we wasting money on stupid shit like this?

Only in America. You’re good in Canada folks. We love uniqueness.

that is stupid

Wow! 2020 and we’re still judged on how we look...sad

purge their being of institutionalized racism.

😂😂😂😂😂 somehow i knew you would finally discover natural hair discrimination congrat i knew you would do it

Corporations and the professional setting have not changed no matter what advertisers tell you.

White women with “natural” hairstyles are less likely to be hired than white women with blow outs. This is such a racist article.

Sad because the natural look is so beautiful

Really? I found black women with natural hair really attractive and beautiful...

girls... straight hair is *always* the answer.

Whats wrong with afro? I would wear it like the 70's..f You like what you like but dont get me out of my job interview prospects..straight hair doesnt know functions in Excel..

The problem is that kinky/curly hair types are still seen as “untidy” by certain ignorant people in positions of power. Also other people love to act like everyone gets treated like a black women wearing her natural hair. Self awareness is key.

Hard to believe as the natural look is beautiful.

More class, color and ethnic division brought to you by FAKE NEWS CNN!!

It’s an excuse to be racist period!

This is why I hate mankind...

Haha there goes msm tearing its own down for a shitty point. How about cnn stops this crap.

When you apply for a job today no one knows if you black or white. You get an interview based on you resume.

Why are y’all doing this towards African Americans? This is body shaming disguised as enlightened information and an atrocious lie to boot. Shame on y’all! CNN

Why do white women want to lay in the hot sun to look darken their skin.

Um yeah, I straightened my hair for the interview and introduced them to the nappy after I got in.

Hey wena! The struggle is real😭

I'm a college educated white straight male and I've failed 15+ interviews straight. So thankful for my privilege

also most people like this are more likely to cause trouble for a company for some stupid and trivial reasons like you know, fashion preference, hairstyles and alike.

I personally think the natural hair style look better in African women in general. I have never really liked the artificial straightening process or anything artificial at all aimed at trying to conform to the prejudices of others!

Anyone surprised?

Like everything else this is manufactured racism

And once you find a job that looks past your natural hairstyle, there's still a handful of people that work there that'll ask you if they can touch it 😑 cantwin

Just imagine if you are Muslim while Black.... preposterous

Black women are the most beautiful on earth. Indians and arabs follow closely. White women are the least appealing women on the planet. Hairy bodies, no ass, little or no boobs... But good thing their men adore them.

that's just rude. seems like instilling a numbered system where our natural features wouldn't help or hinder us should be implemented. but most ppl probably would balk at the thought of being just a number so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can you please stop what kind of crap is this and who polled that and what proof. This is the kind of shit dividing this country just stop

FAKE NEWS 🙈🙈 your getting worse 😂😂

Just stupid. Some of the smartest black women on network TV have natural hair. (is.Zerlina Maxwell, Karina Jean Pierre etc.)

How many black women with slicked back hair do you have on CNN ?

Most job interviews aren’t setup in person they’re through emails or phone call so how would they know what you’re hair looks like.

So what are you guys saying exactly Does cnn now think that all companies are racist now? Are you guys ever going to stop pitting people against each other. You are the ones who add fuel to the flame, is it for more clicks

Then who ever responded to this research, they should reach out to RepPressley I'd hire either version! HairDontCare How bout bald guys?

Oh no, I'm also white and have my curls twisted to look respectable to the world. The woman in the photo looks nice with curls. With straight hair I don't want to see her at all, then it would not be her own identity! Is it possible to accept the appearance as it is?

Really, this is news? Just unbelievably stupid, their hair!

Most potential employers don’t see you before the interview process, so I call BS.

More division huh CNN? When are you going to talk about unity in this country cause guess what there is a lot of it

I am very jealous of their hair! I tried doing my hair like that years ago.... I ended up looking like a white deranged poodle! LoveYourNatural

Crap Crazy News.

Her hair is beautiful. Unlike the small minds deciding who is interviewed.

Are they sending in headshots with their resume?

Here is the white women with curely hair. But she didn't get any job only get marriage proposal 😜

Okay, here's a fix for them, go with straightened hair in interview, once you get the job, go to work with your natural hairstyles. If company fires you, sue them. 😉😀

Here it goes more race bull shit thanks cnn we can always count on you to divide

Black women will have to start applying more to companies run by Conservatives.

RACISTS!!!!

I am sorry but this is stupid!! Don’t make it about race! There is a bunch of white women with big curly hair (like me!)It has to be with the idea that has been sold to us that straightened hair makes someone looks more presentable.

Racist article by CNN

Feel like this is more like white guys with dreads. The personality leads to the hair. The personality is the problem.

Why are CNN folks always trying to get black people riled up.

Gheezuzzz!!!we are doomed as a human race.

What if said white lady has green straight hair?

That's unacceptable.

How about not having to check a sex or race on a fucking job form and have them just look at your qualifications, education, and past work? There's a fucking thought. Don't even put down a name, simply a random number.

Correlation is not causation... fake news CNN

Right. Like credentials don’t matter. You guys are so lame and racist.

The birds sure like them in the spring.

Please spare your time to read this my dear non-Thai Followers Right now young activists and protests’ leaders for democracy in Thailand are going to get arrested and get threats by police and authorities Go to SavePanusaya SaveParit.

What about women wearing Uyghur hairstyles?

You are pushing the racist extremes pretty far with this bullshit... agenda much?!

Ok let's change the subject here! 🙄

Where’s the coverage of the Cannon Hinnant murder?

Yawn. Daily race baiting.

Holy fuck, now we are really grasping at straws man. Give it up

Why?

When recruiting for any job, I base who gets an interview based on their resume 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do most employers know a candidates hairstyle before they interview them?

CNN being racist, again. CNN sucks.

I love my natural curly hair. It grows upwards to God.

Wait people who care about their appearance have a higher chance to land a job? Wow...mind blowing...who would have thought?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, WE NEEDED SCIENCE TO CONFIRM? THANKS!

It's time to help people in Belarus! Look what is going on there!
