Are dreadlocks and afros an Unprofessional Hairstyle to you?

Posted by Erica on March 8, 2021 at 6:06pm in Fashion Design - Fashion Merchandising

As a whole, no, I don't think dreadlocks, braids, afros, and bantu knots, etc. are unprofessional hairstyles. They can be neat, clean, conservative, business professional hairstyles depending on how it's done & maintained, and to automatically write those styles off as unprofessional is racist.

    In general, I associate the dreadlocks with hipsters and drug dependents. I know that this isn't always the case, yet there is not much I could do about it. I get it that the dreadlock are the same braids, yet I cannot compare these braids http://myhairbraiding.com/dutch-braid-vs-french-braid/ with dreads. Do you see where I'm coming from? So yeah, answering you're question, I think that dreads look unprofessional and very chilly. Don't think that a model should be wearing dreadlocks, especially if it is a top model. Yet, there is a great demand for bold models. Interested?
