A Note From Our Guest Editor I vividly remember the first day I wore my natural hair to work. I wish I could say I was excited or proud. But the reality is I was scared, nervous, and honestly, ashamed. It's a familiar feeling for so many Black women, given the fact that many of us have been judged, reprimanded, or even fired for the way we wear our hair on the job. It's called hair discrimination, and it's racist, plain and simple. That's why over the next month, I'll be guest-editing Glamour's Our Hair Issue, which will not only unpack America's intertwined history of institutionalized racism and hair discrimination but will also unapologetically celebrate the beauty of Black women and our hair. We'll be covering everything from the products we swear by for wash days to the dangerous stereotypes that uphold the policing of Black hair. What started as a journey to embrace my natural hair is now a mission to help create a society where no Black girl or woman feels pressure to wear her hair a certain way. We may have a ways to go, but here's to a unified start. —Ashley Alese Edwards, guest editor of Our Hair Issue All products featured in Glamour newsletters are independently selected by our editors.
