Discrimination based on hair texture

Discrimination based on hair texture, also known as textureism, is a form of social injustice, where afro-textured hair or coarse hair types, and their associated hair styles, are viewed negatively, often perceived as "unprofessional", "unattractive", or "unclean".[1][2][3] This view can lead, for example, to some school students being excluded from class.[4]
