"What they're saying to a woman is either she has to wear her hair short in an Afro, which is no longer stylish, or she's going to have to chemically straighten her hair," she said.

man, then i guess i'm not becoming a police officer in Baltimore, cause i'd be unstylish.

:cries in a corner:

this irks me, because what will happen (for women anyway) is that they will spend good money on a weave and after a while it starts to look dirty and unkempt. and that is acceptable over a fro, twists, or locs? please, give me a break. i think braids can look just as "hood" as a dirty, tangled 18" weave, cause that's what the BPD seems to be getting at by banning these hairstyles.

and since we're considering a mohawk to be "traditionally" a white hairstyle, does this mean that, let's say, mullets are out too? i dont know why that is a parallel for me, but i feel like that would be just as unacceptable. after all it IS a "fad" hairstyle. and if THAT'S the case, then we gotta get rid of Jheri curls and all sorts of hairstyles cause there are many styles that come and go.
