Bill Summary

This joint resolution designates October 1 of each year as "All Hair is Good Hair Day" in the State of New Jersey. Hair is a significant aspect of cultural identity, self-expression, and personal dignity for people of all backgrounds and New Jersey is home to a diverse population with various hair types and textures, all contributing to the rich cultural fabric of the State. Throughout history, certain hair types and styles, particularly those associated with Black, and other marginalized communities, have been subject to stigmatization, discrimination, and exclusion in various social, professional, and educational settings. This resolution recognizes and celebrates the beauty and diversity of all hair types and encourages the acceptance of all hair types as equally valid and beautiful.
