Recommendation

To avoid their hair becoming a talking point that distracts from their actual work, some Black women keep their hairstyles conservative or flow with the trends. Other women style their hair confidently and make it part of their personal brand. In this Black Enterprise panel discussion, Angel Beasley – merchandising director for specialty hair at Walmart – and Teneya Gholston – Crème of Nature senior marketing director – discuss the complexities and struggles surrounding Black hair at work.

Take-Aways

  • As natural styles grow more popular, Black women’s hair remains embroiled in workplace politics.
  • Embrace the styles that genuinely express yourself and your brand and support your colleagues as they do the same.
  • If you’re wearing your hair naturally for the first time in a while, get a professional haircut and possibly color, and consult others for advice.

About the Speakers

At the time of this panel, Angel Beasley was Walmart’s senior buyer for multicultural hair and tools, Lydia T. Blanco was a Black Enterprise editor and Teneya Gholston was Crème of Nature’s senior marketing director.
