She then compared her natural hair, which is easier to style, and her relaxed hair, which is more accepted. Brown also incorporated examples of workplace discrimination toward Black hair styles.

The pressing comb and chemical straighteners became stigmatized within the community as symbols of oppression and imposed White beauty ideals. Certain Black people sought to embrace beauty and affirm and accept their natural physical traits. One of the ultimate goals of the Black movement was to evolve to a level where Black people "were proud of black skin and kinky or nappy hair. As a result, natural hair became a symbol of that pride."
