that is so wrong. i think as long as it is small and neat that there should be no problem with it. i understand a dress code but a hair code? that is ridiculus. for african american men and women who dont use perms or have extremly short hair is the only choices besides a huge afro. i think if you are gonna judge by hair you minus well go back to judging by skin too.

Usually, in a company they want to portray a professional environment by enforcing an almost uniform-like appearance.
Anything that doesn't look "normal" to them or that makes someone stand out more than the rest, they frown upon it and are afraid that it might make them loose customers.
Sometimes, it comes down to just plain business savvy than culture.
But, that all depends on how strict company policy is about it.
I agree with you though, neat cornrows are ok in my book

Sure it's wrong but if you want to get ahead where you work you need to go along with the program or look for other employment. The person at the top of the food chain holds the purse strings.
I worked for a CEO that hated facial hair. Sure you could grow a beard or mustache but don't look for much in the way of a pay raise and of course, they can document your perfomance in such a way as to justify the meager pay increase.

Yes, I think it is wrong to discriminate against that when it doesn't effect your job performance. As long as it's groomed, clean, and looks nice I don't have a problem with it. They said Bob Marley had all these little bugs in his hair when he died. I don't know if that's true or not. Maybe employers are worried about that. If you don't live out in CA you should come out here. You can look anyway you damn well please. I see nurses and people with arm sleeve tattoos and other piercings and gruesome things in public professional positions all the time. Cornrows are nothing.

I agree with you....as long as it is kept neat there shouldn't be any problem with it at all. If people are going to prohibit hairstyles I can think of several others that should go long before dreads or cornrows.

Depends a little on where you work, but overall, if the hair is clean, free of lice, doesn't smell bad, etc., the style shouldn't matter, so long as the employee is doing their job satisfactorily.

I can understand the lack of wanting dreads, as to the uninformed, it may appear as a lack of hygiene (as opposed to a fashion, political, heritage, or religious statement), but forbidding cornrows is ridiculous.

I didn't know they were prohibited anywhere. I'm Dutch, I don't think they're prohibited here. I think it's completely stupid to prohibit any style of hairdressing. Well, maybe if you were to shave a swastika in your hair.... but other than that...Besides, I like dreads wether I'm at work or not.

Sure, it's okay if you work In Walmart. But if you work in a "professional" enviorment, people would like you to dress like it. Don't get me wrong, I know some really smart people who have very decieving looks, but how many people DON'T judge a book by it's cover?

I guess it depends where you work.I used to work in a bar so the owner had no problem with me wearing cornrows.

I think it's very wrong. Hair style is your personal preference.
