Abstract
As a white woman, Kelly automatically fits into the white cultural norm; her hair and hairstyles are not seen as unprofessional even when her hairstyle is not usually seen in a professional setting. There are early childhood education programs that prohibit educators from wearing their hair in braids, locks, Afros, twists and so on. One center leadership team I worked with was upset when I pointed out that the policy was hypocritical because during one of the beloved traditions of the school "crazy hair day", all the banned hairstyles were worn by the children and the Non- Black staff. Instead of changing the hair policy they stopped crazy hair day. [Extracted from the article]
