last two places i worked at allowed any hairstyle. professional dress code at my current job, but they don't tell us what to do with our hair. dreads, erykah badu level fros, mohawks (not crazy ones though), chicks with the side shave thing.

Afros, mohawks, and dreadlocks aren't professional and say a lot about how seriously you take yourself and your job. But this is true for any race, and this is a pretty pathetic attempt at racebaiting.

I assume it's the same reason for facial hair guidelines. It was done in the past and changing that would insult tradition or whatever.

Afros, mohawks, and dreadlocks aren't professional and say a lot about how seriously you take yourself and your job. But this is true for any race, and this is a pretty pathetic attempt at racebaiting. Afros and dreadlocks are natural styles and I've seen many people in professional settings wear very neat dreads. And they "aren't professional" by what standard? White standards of course. I have 4a type hair, it will grow into an afro and in fact I have a textured afro right now and I'm an officer of the court. Attitudes like this are why women damage their hair and scalp to straighten it from perms. Natural hair bias is a thing and it fucks with people's self image of themselves to the point of perms and skin bleaching, it needs to stop. People should not have to alter their natural hair texture to be more palatable in the workplace, that's the way it grows out of our scalp. --- "If you want to move fast, practice slowly...if you want to move like lightning, practice in stillness." ...

I mean, I agree with you, but... by what standard is anything professional? It's an entirely arbitrary thing once you get past basic hygiene, which has never been the determining factor in what is acceptable at work. The fact that our standards for professional attire (much less grooming) are relatively free now-a-days is only because silicone valley eschewed the much more formal attire that was common in work places and invented business casual sometime in the 1980s --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

It's dumb but it's not like there aren't rules that apply to everyone else too.
I don't get my hair cut the way I do because i think it looks good. I spend like $40 a year funneling myself into a hairstyle I don't care about and don't want because I don't want to be the next layoff victim. And that's bare minimum. I've no doubt some of these people who spend $40 a week do it for the same reason. And forget work; you can't be seen anywhere with a mullet. Ideally everyone wouldn't care about each other's hair but we don't live in an ideal world. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 ... Copied to Clipboard!

which actually reminds me
the bigger problem I have is with public institutions like schools that kick kids out for having dreadlocks and shit that is much worse than hiring discrimination which is itself already bad. there's no excuse not to allow 'unprofessional' hair styles in a damn grade school --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...

I don't see what's wrong with afros. They are mainstream enough that I don't think customers would be upset about an employee having one.

Dreadlooks are a giant funk and odor magnet and almost always smell disgusting if they're not washed daily... which they're usually not, since they take hours to dry.

Professional appearance is considered much the same we consider the appearance of somebody's house or their lawn. Neat and orderly is valued. Good symmetry is valued. That's why people don't like half-shaves or dreadlocks and stuff. I don't mind them, but lots of customers are turned off by that kind of appearance. This, right here, is some privilege. --- If you're not voting like a black woman, your opinion doesn't matter to me ... Copied to Clipboard!

Like... there are other white sensibilities other than the culturally dominant ones, and they are also excluded from the hegemon you are discussing as 'white sensibilities.' I think the fact that there are competing white sensibilities (and black ones, too, for that matter!) is probably useful in this kind of conversation if you consider it unimportant that those other kinds of white people exist and have their own sensibilities ok? --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ...
