Hi, My name is Mannie, and im 21 and im African american/Indian american.
The answer is simple, everything today is a either "do" or "don't".
Now you have people who go out of the "norm", for certain hairstyles
but some people don't mind the out of the "norm" hair style.
When it come's to; pressed hair, fine hair, silky curly hair, those or "everyday hairstyle's" or should i say "acceptable multi-purpose hairstyle's" toward's the community (women/men<--) certain instances.
Now imagine being in the room with 20 people at an business affair. You of course walk in with an Afro, now everyone in this meeting is crew cut, "gorgeous" fine "healthy"hair, and under there breath's the snickering, (in honesty one or two people will find it "cool).
Society has dictated what's acceptable and not, and Afro get's the short end on this. Albeit if your like i am, i still believe you can be "professional however which way your hair look's.
Break out of the "norm"! (: hope this helped.
