Curly hair underrepresented ?

It was on This Moring ITV, ( Holly & Phil )

Do you have a link to the article Bridgeit?

Hi Jenpax , I can understand straightening curly hair & curling straight hair ( what are we like?)
But underrepresentation on Tv ?,who knows, how do they calculate it? If correct , is it detrimental or am I just being a Grump old woman ( under represented everywhere ) ?

There's probably some truth in the claim.

Women in a professional environment are expected to be well-groomed and conservative in dress, so likely to feel pressure to aim for blow-dried sleek hair, rather than a head of 'unruly' curls.

Some time back when a young weather presenter (and a meteorologist) started on the BBC, there was an article about her somewhere that said she had to have her hair in a chignon or similar as her gorgeous long Celtic red curls weren't appropriate and would be distracting.

I straighten my hair but because it’s naturally wavy and frizzy not lovely and curly ??‍♀️
