california officially the first state to ban racial discrimination based on natural hair styles chl called the crown act. >> it applies to workplaces and schools and for many women this is a big deal. it means more freedom of expression. >> talk about what it means to them.

>> it's really hard to believe that california is the first state in the country to pass a law like this. it is really such a huge deal for women. especially african-american women. who face discrimination based on the texture of our hair. >> we're talking about a beauty standard. >> he's really a master mind behind the natural hair. you have been behind the chair for 35 years. you have heard stories from clients. we have our own story. >> let's do it. >> we are freeing the curl. >> why has it been so long that we're landing to this place. i have clients that only want to wear it natural. or with braids and style it. they look so amazing.

but i can't wear this to work. >> i never thought i would be wearing natural hair on air. i was working in florida. i got a relaxer it was too strong and my bangs fell out. i didn't really know what to do. i got extensions. i got a sew in. >> the more it grew out the more i started to see my natural curl pattern. this is my hair. i can wear this. so i started wearing it and thinking i would grow it out. but never for tv. because i had a consultant. she said have you thought about wearing a wig? so i started. and all this time my hair was growing out. every day at work i have the wig on. and every day when it was over i snatch it off. it didn't feel like i was authentic. i sat down and asked my news director at the time, this is my

natural hair. i want to wear it. she was like well i never said you couldn't. when she said that i was like yes. when can i start. i started wearing my natural hair. it was scary because i didn't know how the audience would react. when i did it people were so happy. they were excited for me. >> i was studying broadcast journalism. but jr. year, i'm working on my real. a tape that you make so that you can get a job in tv after wards. and they want your hair to be consistent. is what my professor said. they also didn't out wardly say you need to wear it straight. but it was encouraged. it was something that i saw everyone else doing. when i look on tv and see other black women everyone had straight hair. i wore it straight. and what happened? i got a job. with no problem. vs. some classmates that did choose to wear their hair

natural. and braids. and a much harder time. >> i chose to wear my hair straight. it is in its natural state when it's wet. however i have now gone through years of straightening with heat. and this is damaged. the back of my hair probably when you wash it does maybe something similar to her hair. the front right here which is what everyone sees all the time. on tv. and you have to fix it and put it down. there's so much heat damage. and it is something that upsets me because it's a choice i made. i'm not saying anyone strong armed me. i love to wear straight hair sometimes. and i love braids. and i love a bun. i don't think people understand there was a deep pressure to wear my hair this way. we can't say that this type of discrimination won't happen. it will. obviously. but if you know that that's what

happened you can at least be like hey there's a piece of paper that says that's not okay. it's wrong. >> it's nice to know that you can't be discriminated against anymore. i didn't ask i just did. you get to a point in your life you're like if you don't like me for me. if this isn't good enough, fine. so be it. for my thing, it wasn't the law. it was my daughter. she has great curly hair coming in now. and i don't want her to see me straightening my hair and wonder is curly hair not okay? is there something wrong with mine? no. you are perfect. you never have to change anything. and i said enough. it's so damaged from straightening it and just why. i couldn't do it anymore. >> i find this really educational.

i had no idea this was a consideration. no clue. i didn't really -- i will say this, there's so much more scrutiny for women on tv. than for guys. i could wear the same thing every day and nobody would notice. they might notice when i lose all my hair. but there's so much more scrutiny and pressure. your hair looks great. >> appreciate it. >> some of the new laws in effect new definition of beer. to inchud alcoholic beverages with fruit, honey, herbs and ingredients. you will be able too use a smart phone to cast ballots as long as it doesn't violate any election laws. public and private animal shelters will be required to disclose a dogs biting history. to potential new owners. if a dog is broken a human skin at four months or older. domestic partnership open to all californiaens regardless of age
