AJR 198 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates October 1 of each year as "All Hair is Good Hair Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 198 designates October 1 of each year as "All Hair is Good Hair Day" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution recognizes the cultural significance of hair diversity and aims to address historical stigmatization of certain hair types, particularly within Black and marginalized communities. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through community programs, promoting acceptance of all hair types as equally valid and beautiful. The bill does not create new laws or regulations but serves as a commemorative statement of cultural affirmation.
