The Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act of 2025, known as the CROWN Act, aims to eliminate discrimination based on hair texture and hairstyles, particularly those associated with individuals of African descent. This legislation seeks to address long-standing biases that have impacted the rights and opportunities of people who wear natural or protective hairstyles, such as locs, cornrows, twists, braids, Bantu knots, and Afros.
