Trend Story & 2 or 3 things I found

The trend story I chose to read is an article from CNN about African American females choosing to wear their natural hair in their corporate workplaces. I liked that this story presented facts and numbers such as the decreasing sale numbers of chemical relaxer kits and increasing percentages of women who claim to no longer chemically relax their hair. I also like they include quotes from women on the issue; "Natural hair is not a trend, its here to stay. You're going to see more women going natural than ever before," said professional stylist Tracy Robertson. The article addresses the concern women have to keep the corporate look and that the women themselves are learning to care for their hair with non chemical products. Though the quote claims it is not a trend, this personal choice is being seen on women in the corporate world to Oscar-nominated actresses.
