Cause it isn't professional looking. What would you think if your lawyer or judge had a style like that?

Besides kinda like how they ask female cops to put their hair in ponytails.

I can't really explain it either other than it's just not the "norm" plus the fact that it looks goofy as f*ck for a white guy to have cornrows and looks too thuggish for a black guy in uniform to have them.

In the military...female members with long hair must keep it up and away from the face...just a standard I guess.

I agree, but America is still essentially a white man's world where whites dictate what is acceptable, what is beautiful, what is low-class, etc. LOL and this is coming from a white guy. I can guarantee that if the US was majority Black, cornrows would be considered acceptable. And as far as women are concerned, Black women would leave their hair in its natural state instead of straightening it. The only reason they straighten it is to be taken seriously by society, to land a good job, instead of being called a nappy-headed ho by some idiot like Imus, and also because they are influenced by Hollywood's white-biased image of beauty, that you can only be beautiful if you have straight hair. How many models do you know with natural African curls.

And mommy naming them shamiqua or loquanna def helps them land good jobs. Saw an article a while back how women are changing their names so they are taken more seriously.

Um...I was asking for his point of view regarding what constituted a professional look. Seemed like it was more opinion and I was curious.

It just seemed like an odd question to post right after you asked it. I mean, to quote the article:

Quote:
Police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore says Strain's boss told the officer to cut his hair to look more "professional."

Vanore says officers' hats must fit "in a military manner" over their hair, and that Strain's hat did not. Strain got a haircut; he declined comment to the paper.

Vanore recalled only one black officer with braids in the past several years. He says that officer also was told to get a haircut.
So, it's the hairstyle interfering with their hat that makes it unprofessional - for both white AND black officers. As an officer it isn't about being trendy, it's about looking the part.
