This is ridiculous.

yup, im sure somewhere a French twist is considered "extreme" and against a dress code! lmao!

the only place i would allow to tell me how to wear my hair is the military. case closed. that way you know it isnt a race/sex/status thing. everybody has to follow those rules.

I don't see a problem with the hairstyles. I don't know why anyone would consider them extreme. I can sort of understand, considering their occpuation, how long hair might be a problem, and if they were told to wear long hair pull back in some way, but I don't see how braids or dreadlocks are hazardous.

As for tattoos...I have 5 tattoos. 4 of them are not visible unloess I'm waling around in my underwear, the 5th is on the inside of my ankle. I work in a law office, and while there is not policy (or none that has ever been shared with me) about visible tattoos, I do ocer mine up in the summer if I am wearing capris or skirts, just because I know some people will not find visible tattoos, and it's a lot easier to take 5 minutes in the morning to put some makeup on it, then have to deal with my bossess if they have a problem with it.

But if there is no policy regarding hair/tattoos/dress code, then their should be no problem here. And I hope if these women were treated unjustly that they fight and I hope they win.
