| Politics of Hair
|
Cornrows & Co. is more than a hair salon that attracts celebrities, professionals, and a fashion-conscious generation. Cornrows & Co. also serves as a progressive center for political empowerment. Cornrows & Co. successfully filed several different lawsuits against major hotels and corporations for regulations that prohibited African Americans from wearing "braided, locked and natural styles." As a result, major organizations, including the U.S. Navy, changed their biased policies. For ten years Cornrows & Co. waged a legal battle with the Washington D.C. barber & cosmetology board that prohibited braiders and braid salons from operating without a cosmetology license. Cornrows & Co. was successful in getting braiders exempted from getting a cosmetology license in Washington D.C. As other state cosmetology boards began a trend to harass, threaten, and in some cases arrest hair braiders, Taalib-Din Uqdah of Cornrows & Co. formed a national non-profit trade association, the American Hairbraiders & Natural Haircare Association (AHNHA), to educate and lobby to protect hair braiders, locticians and natural hair culturists from cosmetology laws.
