Black hair and hair texture are part of the racial battleground for social justice. Few issues exist more invisibly than the mistreatments of Black hair and hair texture, one’s hairstyle and hair follicle curl pattern(s), respectively. Limited research about Black women in the workplace cite hair discrimination but fail to unearth realities of Black, higher education professional women with natural hair. Structured in autoenthograpy, this article presents tensions associated with Black hair and hair texture that inherit societal mistreatments. Using Black Feminist Thought as a theoretical paradigm, research findings are presented in ethnodrama, while blurring narrative genres and art-based research.
