I agree that as long as the braids or dreads are clean and well kept then it will be professional looking. My father recently grew his hair out and got it braided and I was shocked that he could wear his hair like that to work. But his braids look good and they are kept up nicely. I think corporate America is becoming more diverse and braids and dreads are becoming more "acceptable." The only time I would say that the braids are unnacceptable would be those times when its "half done" or it looks like it has lint in it. As far as human resources go, the dress code could simply state, that if wearing braids, they must be well kept, and all the way done. The company can give an example of what is acceptable and what is not and if you fall into the category of what's not acceptable then you are in violation.
