DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) It s the business of beauty.
But for many, they ve had to choose between their hair or their profession, especially women of color. I had a job before where they re like, oh, your hair is too flamboyant. You can t wear your hair like this. You can wear your hair like that. That s not professional, said Zakiyah Lawton, Stylz Unlimited stylist.
But the city of Durham now making sure no one will have to make that choice. To deny them economic opportunity just for the way they wear their hair is really anti-American, said Satana Deberry, Durham County District Attorney.
