Next time you go to Walmart, you won’t have to wait for a store associate to come open the anti-theft cabinet where they keep the products for multicultural hair a.k.a Black hair.
We have made the decision to discontinue placing multicultural hair care and beauty products in locked cases.
A Colorado woman recently went to purchase a hair scarf from her local Walmart, where she found all the products that fit her hair behind glass.
While the proper term may be “multicultural,” Black women are majority consumers of natural hair products.
The conversation picked up on Twitter, leading to this woman schooling an oblivious shopper about the undertone of racism in the decision to lock away Black products.
