This and the ability to bring in your own mugs are similar in that I don’t see why in principle why these are bad. If some more qualified and better at their job employee has cornrows or braids for some service does a good job, why would I want them eliminated in favor of potentially ****tier employees? So you’re more surly or worse at doing whatever it is but at least you have straight hair or male pattern baldness? How is that better?
I think it’s a sad commentary we actually need a law that allows people to wear their hair any way they want to. Should be a no brainer.
It should be a no brainer that employers can require hair codes, same as dress codes.
Back in the 1960s, people wore suits and dresses for air travel. I remember when I took my first flight in the late 1960s. I was a little boy, yet my mother bought me a blue suit to wear, because we were flying. Yes, even little children wore suits and dresses when traveling.
Over the decades, we've become a very trashy culture. Trashy in dress, manners, language, and hair.
So many Americans dress like slobs, are covered in tattoos and piercings, are simultaneously foul-mouthed and easily offended, and have freakish hair styles. Sad.

You remind me of those uptight business suits who glare with disdain when I march into the airport lounge wearing sweatpants.
Nothing will truly change; just as it hasn't with tons of other anti-discrimination laws/rules. People will still be terminated, passed over and whatever. Just that they never will likely find out exact reason why.
Only true eegits get caught with anti-discrimination laws. People who pretty much come out and say or do something they shouldn't. Everyone else knows how to go about things so a legal challenge is difficult if not impossible to prove.
How true --- all employers constantly engage in "micro discriminations" based on numerous factors including perceptions of race,class.ethnicity,physical appearance,speaking with an accent, body size,perceived fitness and others.
In an economy based on service rather than production/extraction these factors become more important to employers. They are expert in utilizing these factors while remaining under the radar.

All this is going to do is make employers get extra hush-hush about why they're firing someone. Now an unsavory employer (or even an employer with perfectly acceptable rationale), instead of telling their worker to trim down their afro, they're just going to find a reason to fire them.

Again, many employers already do some variation of this, and have ever since various civil rights laws were enacted.
This is why HR people have extensive education in various laws/procedures and so forth. It is also why whenever you seem that person or someone from HR department go into your immediate supervisor's office, and you are summoned in moments later (or you arrive and they are already there), it is not going to go well.
This is happening for the same reason employers now allow facial hair.
Dont know if it was the Male gay community of San Fran, or the many dreads that ain't having it. So choose a side!
Long hair geeks with a scruffy p
