Natural hair vs the media: The battle for black women

Natural hair vs the media: The battle for black women

Natural hair has long struggled to be accepted in the media and the public at large. Many women who rock their natural hair, including celebrities like model Jourdana Phillips, actress and The Real talk show co-host Tamera Mowry-Housley and Riverdale star Asha Bromfield, have had to deal with the pressure of conforming to what other people believe is beautiful. To help combat this, African-American oriented publications like Ebony and Essence have promoted celebrities with natural hair on their covers. Alongside them, CRWN magazine is a new kind of print magazine for that aims to celebrate women with natural hair, share more awareness and further the conversation about natural hair in America. Though efforts are being made, celebrities sporting their natural hair on a magazine cover is still rare. Clearly, theres still a lot of work to be done to have natural hair accepted in society to show to the world: there are different standards of beauty. Mar 7, 2018
