Black woman here. Hair in our community is extremely important, and strangers touching my hair without my permission is an attack on hard-won autonomy thats just recently become recognized. I once went through airport security with my naturally big curly hair in a ponytail and security stepped behind and in front of me and without asking or telling me what was going on (actually grabbed me) and roughly ran her dirty gloved hands through my hair. I asked her what she was doing and she said she was checking for razor blades hidden in my hair. I had already gone through the detectors and nothing came up. When I asked her why the other non POC women with ponytails weren't getting their hair checked, she didnt have an answer. I was a minor at the time and had never been so humiliated in my life.

In elementary school, we once had a lunch/recess supervisor scold a boy for wearing a 'hat'. It was a yamaka, not a hat, and many of us children understood that but this woman didn't. When he said he didn't want to take it off, she yelled at him and sent him to the principal's office. He left the cafeteria crying. Other kids tried standing up for him (respectfully, we were trying to educate her), but anyone who did so had to sit out at recess. Even after the boy came back with approval from the principal to keep wearing his yamaka, the monitor didn't apologize and everyone else still had to sit on the curb at recess for 'disrespecting' her (standing up for a classmate and calling out discrimination). I complained about this to my teacher, saying it wasn't fair. And my teacher simply said "Life isn't fair." Great lesson.

Im not muslim but one of my closest friends is and we’ve encountered some people who have tried to force her to take her hijab off because “She could use it for stealing purposes” as they would say, and it always makes me so sad how uncomfortable she looks whenever someone asks her this. I make sure we can get away from them, but I always wish I could do more than just comfort her. I wish it really didn’t have to be this way for her, because religion doesn’t change a person the person changes themselves, and she is one of the most sweetest, kindest person I’ve meet, and i’m so glad to call her my friend. So please stop this nonsense, it ruins this world.

Unless shes gonna have her damn hijab scarf get caught in some gear and possibly choke or get hurt or interfere with her safety i see no reason to insist. And if it was gonna do anything. Id ask if she can like pin it tighter. Has some sort of way to keep it up closer to her head and not get it loose (like putting hair in a bun) Or at the very least ask ig shed like a lady to help her or to go to a private room or bathroom to change it out for a toghter one or hat or something and she can come back in line. Id even let her get back in after the person im scanning when she comes back (if im allowed) (My idea for danger was from edna mode incredibles abt why capes can be dangerous and not wearing ties on factory floors etc also some of my answer ideas was rhinking of air port security. Amusement park rides. Any kind of area it might get caught or snagged and pose a safety risk to her and to whatever it gets caught in) Anywho tldr i knw its important and id try to be respectful and kind within the rules i need. Id even ask if she wont or doesnt wanna take it off maybe i could do a pat down? Or have a lady do a pat down. Gently touching it or so to feel any plastics or etc and such. Like pattinf down legs Still kinda violating but if my rules say i gotta check i cna do so nicer. Id be able to FEEEL plastics or other stuff hidden under there after all. And jd tey not to muss up her hair and see if another guard could escort her to a bathroom if its to loose after so she can hold in place and the guard could help with bags. Like theres options. Theres MANY OPTIONS. LIKE COME ON. :/ i dont liiike the idea of the last one but jf they HAD to check they could have at least a lady guard. I hope the guy wasnt to imposing or scary looking also (beyond the axiety of making someone take off their hijab) Like j came up with all of these ideas in less then 5 or so minutes and this guy couldnt think of ANYTHING NOTHING OTHER THEN FORCE THE LADY TO BASICALLY TAKE HER PANTS PR RELIGIOUS OR COMFORT ITEM OFF IN PUBLIC. AND ETC? thts also a process to put back on. Its a quickish pro ess but she also had to put it back onn in line or go over just to the side or possibly walk around qith the......wig cap? Or their hair just OUT... which has to be MOREEE uncomfy. Orrrr be harassed by ppl in line who even if they do care may get mad qt her or the guards xuz now she has to take longer to get throo to put her hijab back on or suffer bring unconvered even longer Like omg.

As a hairstylist…some years ago I worked at a salon where there were no private areas to cut someone’s hair who was wearing a hijab. There were men in the salon too, and my client told me she could not remove it for religious reasons. We had a training center in the back room that had mirrors and chairs, so I took my client back there and cut her hair. She was so grateful, and I was happy to do that for her. When my boss came in, I told her what I did…if I had not told her, other stylists would have told her, also, I thought it was a great solution. I caught a lot of grief for doing it, and was told I could never do that again. I thought that made no sense, and I was happy that I did it. It caused no harm, so I thought “why not”. I don’t understand why I could not accommodate a client, but was told to never do it again. Hearing what you went through reminded me of this, so I wanted to share with you…because it was another instance of making an issue for no good reason. I am sorry you went through that, that was awful. People need to learn how to properly respect each other. As a side note…I love wearing scarves just for style, and I think your hijab looks very pretty…stay strong and take care ❤️

I cried just reading this. A bridesmaid, my close friend since high school, started to wear to hijab. The well-known, reputable Chicago salon that I booked for the entire bridal party were jerks to accommodate a private area for her doing her getting her hair cut & colored. So I l left no other choice but to tell them that I was going to cancel my hair and makeup services for the 17 women, because the disrespected just one ☝🏼. It also helped that one master stylists threatened to give her two weeks notice if we didn’t accommodate or get refunded the 20% down payment. Needless to say, they made it work. So, kudos to people like you that think on their feet, respect and care about the service they provide! 🙌🏼 Best wishes in your career & life! 😊
