  • A Science-Based Guide to Afro-Textured Hair Care from Nylah’S Naturals
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE A Science-Based Guide to Afro-Textured Hair Care from Nylah’s Naturals. This vegan hair care brand shares their top five tips on how to care for Black hair. Afro-textured hair requires special care, as the hair unique structure is prone to extra dryness and therefore are more fragile and susceptible to breakage. Kam Davis, Founder and CEO of Nylah’s Naturals, shares some expert advice on how to care for Black hair. ​ Since ancient times, afro-textured hair has been an integral part of Black culture. From the Ancient Nile Valley civilizations to the establishment of Western African empires, hair has maintained a spiritual, social, cultural and aesthetic significance in the lives of African people. It was a part of a person’s social and cultural identity, signifying personal status. Unfortunately, in recent centuries, Black women and men were forced to follow the standards of beauty industries that did not accept natural afro-textured hair, forcing many to chemically straighten their hair or wear wigs. Encouragingly, over the past few years, the tendency started shifting in a different FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE direction, with natural afro-textured hair being more and more widely accepted, celebrating its curly nature and uniqueness. “At Nylah’s Naturals, we realize that our mission goes way beyond creating natural, high-quality products catering to afro-textured hair. For so many years Black women were fighting the very nature of their hair, so now we feel there is a need to educate and share the best practices on how to care for Black hair in such a way that it highlights its health and beauty,” - shares Kam Davis, Nylah’s Naturals CEO and Founder.

    Barriers to Braiding How Job-Killing Licensing Laws Tangle Natural Hair Care in Needless Red Tape By Angela C. Erickson July 2016 Barriers to Braiding Barriers to Braiding How Job-Killing Licensing Laws Tangle Natural Hair Care in Needless Red Tape By Angela C. Erickson July 2016 Barriers to Braiding Barriers to Braiding Table of Contents Executive Summary . 1 Introduction . 3 Barriers to a Traditional Art . 7 Methods . 10 Results . 13 Discussion . 18 Implications . 22 Appendix A . 25 Appendix B . 27 Appendix C . 28 Endnotes . .29 Barriers to Braiding Executive Summary African-style hair braiding is a traditional art and a time-tested way of caring for tightly coiled Afro-textured hair naturally, without scissors, heat or chemicals. Yet, in most states, people who wish to braid for a living must first obtain a government permission slip—an occupational license requiring up to 2,100 hours of training. This study investigates whether the natural craft of braiding poses risks that justify occupational licensing and whether braiding licenses create barriers that keep people out of work. 1 Barriers to Braiding This report finds: Braiding is safe—in states with strict licensing and in states without. • Complaints against braiders are extremely rare. Licensing boards in nine states and the District of Columbia turned up just 130 complaints in seven years—and the vast majority concerned whether braiders were properly licensed, not health or safety. Only six complaints raised questions of consumer harm, none of them verified by boards. • Complaints against braiders are so rare that a person is 2.5 times more likely to get audited by the IRS (8.6 in 1,000) than a licensed or registered braider is to receive a complaint of any kind (3.4 in 1,000).

  • INFORMATION PAPER Department of the Army, G-1 15 Nov 19 SUBJECT
    INFORMATION PAPER Department of the Army, G-1 15 Nov 19 SUBJECT: DACOWITS December 2019 RFI 9: Effect of Grooming Standards on Women’s Health 1. Purpose: To reply to the DACOWITS Effect of Grooming Standards on Women’s Health for December 2019 Quarterly Business Meeting. Military grooming standards ensure Service members are able to meet their occupational demands and maintain a professional appearance. However, sometimes these standards can unmask or exacerbate various skin conditions. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, traction alopecia is hair loss that is caused by repeat pulling on the hair due to tight hairstyles. Servicewomen can develop this condition if they wear their hair in a tight ponytail, bun, or braids, especially in combination with the use of chemicals or heat. Servicewomen have expressed to DACOWITS that specific grooming standards are causing them non-reversible hair loss. The Committee is concerned about the potential unintended consequences and impact of grooming standards on women’s long term health. Question 9a: Provide policies, regulations, and other directive sources that describe grooming standards for servicewomen. Include specifics that may be required for certain military specialties or working conditions, as well as any variances or allowances for racial or ethnic groups Response 9a: Army Regulation (AR) 670-1 Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia, paragraph 3-2 a. (3) “The requirements for hair regulations are to maintain uniformity within a military population for female Soldiers while in uniform, or in civilian clothes on duty, unless otherwise specified. Female hairstyles may not be eccentric or faddish and will present a conservative, professional appearance.

  • Braid Hairstyle Recognition Based on Cnns
    Braid Hairstyle Recognition based on CNNs Chao Sun and Won-Sook Lee EECS, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON, Canada csun014, wslee @uottawa.ca { } Keywords: Braid Hairstyle Recognition, Convolutional Neural Networks. Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel braid hairstyle recognition system based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We first build a hairstyle patch dataset that is composed of braid hairstyle patches and non-braid hairstyle patches (straight hairstyle patches, curly hairstyle patches, and kinky hairstyle patches). Then we train our hairstyle recognition system via transfer learning on a pre-trained CNN model in order to extract the features of different hairstyles. Our hairstyle recognition CNN model achieves the accuracy of 92.7% on image patch dataset. Then the CNN model is used to perform braid hairstyle detection and recognition in full- hair images. The experiment results shows that the patch-level trained CNN model can successfully detect and recognize braid hairstyle in image-level. 1 INTRODUCTION Hairstyle, which can help to provide unique personal- ity, is considered as one of the most important features of a human being in real-world. Moreover, in com- puter games and animation films, different hairstyles represent different identifications of virtual charac- ters. However, hairstyle recognition remains one of the most challenging tasks due to the characteristics of the hair(e.g. the texture, colors, etc), the variety of appearances under different environments (e.g. light- ing conditions, etc), as well as countless combinations of different hairstyles. Most of the researchers who work on 3D hair modelling examine the characteristics of hair based on single-view or multiple-view hair images and try to obtain hair strands structure information (e.g.
