Afros, braids do not belong in a professional setting.
If you're over 16, any race and have a job or plan on having a job. You shouldn't have braids, dreads, mohawks, fauxhawks, buns, etc. But that's just me. Some things just don't look professional. Erykah Badu having an afro? Understandable. She's an artist. Michelle Obama having a fro? Bit unbecoming of a first lady. Obama's kids having braids or fros? Don't really care. They are kids.
Please explain your reasons for this opinion.
I don't understand why natural black hair, sans processing, isn't considered professional. Can you explain? I've seen some very nice-looking braids and afros.
I think most ppl don't have a problem with braids as long as they are extensions, or teeny tiny small. I see nothing unprofessional about this womans hair.
Who gives a crap?
In the blogworld ppl are commenting on Michelles hair at different events and it sparked this question. If Michelle wore her hair with an afro and a headband, or had manicured locs, or didn't have a relaxer, or didn't use heat, would the world look at her differently? Would people automatically assume she doen't take pride in her appearance?
Here you can see that anything that doesn't look straight or Europeanish, it is not accepted, even though their hair is completely different in texture.
I say everyone gets the military treatment and gets all hair removed as part of the Job interview.
You'd be surprised how much talk is put into the matter. Chris Rock and Halle Berry both are coming out with movies/documentaries over this very subject . Chris Rock is doing a documentary called ''Good hair''. It exposes the dangers of the harsh chemicals in relaxers, how constant heat damages their hair etc. It talks about how black women(in general) are only accepted in places if their hair meets the European standard.
What about bald people?
