Firm signs Halo Code after survey finds one in five women feel pressure to straighten hair

The manufacturer, which makes Dove soap and Magnum ice-cream, has signed a new code intended to end bias against students and employees with hairstyles associated with their racial, ethnic, and cultural identities.
