Rebekah Gougeon’s natural hair is a tightly coiled combination of 4B/4C type hair. 4B curls are very tightly coiled like the spring in a pen and bends in angles like the letter z, while 4C curls are z-shaped like 4B curls but are tighter and denser.
Several law firms have signed up to the Halo code, a campaign seeking to champion and protect the rights of individuals to embrace Afro-hairstyles in the workplace. For U.K. Black History Month, Gougeon, a diversity & inclusion manager at Trowers & Hamlins, discusses her firsthand experience of hair discrimination and why it needs to be looked at.
