Many people in America are rejected every day by employers because of their hair, tattoos, and/or piercings. “Their distracting” they say, or “unprofessional”. Are they really? How are we supposed to be creative whenever our creativity is being diminished? Hair color often represents personality, creativity, and diversity. It’s the shout that says “I’m different and I’m proud!” But these proud people are being stopped because they are a distraction. You can’t really have a serious, well paying job with pink, purple, blue hair. Most jobs that allow it are small coffee shops, theater workers and servers. These are not really well paying jobs that you can be proud of. There are some respectable jobs that do hire you with colored hair; cosmetologists, massage therapists, instructor (at an art institute), and chemists. But that may not be what you strive to have as a career. While hair color is unorthodox, it should be allowed in professional fields of business rather than force you into a degrading job. Having colored hair can bring very negative labels over your head and could possibly change your reputation. Say you have a bright red colored hair, you can be labeled as a Disney enthusiast, which isn’t that bad. But it can also label you as a gang member, the Bloods, which could get you in a lot of trouble. Most colored hair is associated with prostitutes, drug dealers, and junkies. Having multi-colored hair that is not standard is a no-no and marks you as weird or strange
Throughout the world, there is an estimate of about 65.3 million refugees that have either been forced out of their homes or chose to willingly escape the violence or corruption they faced in their homeland. Of those millions of people, only a small percentage are given the status of refugee as many nations have strict requirements and only allow a specific amount each year. This leads to an increase in the amount of illegal immigration as many are desperate to risk their lives to for a better one then they had back home. Even as refugees are given asylum, many often face difficulties such as discrimination due to the racial stereotypes that exist as a result of negative depictions in the news and media. Although nations have generally become more open to receiving and providing aid for a significant amount of refugees seeking asylum, people’s ideology of race and the misrepresentation of the media towards immigrants prevent an even larger amount of refugees from being accepted into society.
Cosmetologists have to strive to make clients happy by giving them their wanted look, making sure the client feels like it’s their go to salon. Prices range from $40 per hour to $26,400 a year. The prices will rise depending on what style the customer wants. For better customer service, one would need to work in a clean environment, in a safe neighborhood where clients can come and have a satisfying time. To get the job they will need to be licensed by the state, a high school diploma, and enrolled in a cosmetology school. A student enrolled in these schools can apply for federal and state financial aid. Federal and state grant programs are offered to eligible students and must be 16 years of age. The highest paid earned more than $41,490 yearly to $12.72 per hour. Cosmetology is a field focused on the treatment of hair, skin, and nails that appeals to people’s creativity and specializes in cutting, styling, and applying chemical perms and color treatments. In a few years cosmetologists can become their own bosses by being independent and one stylist said that “Cosmetology is about bringing out the best in everyone.” Which means that the stylist can have fun doing what they love every day for a future career or part time job in the next few years.
Did you know blonde haired women are more aggressive and determined to get their own way. This is probably due to blonde discrimination in workplaces. Studies show blonde haired women have to work harder at the start of a new job to prove themselves and show that they are actually
The end of slavery bought new challenges for everyone, and the same feelings and views associated with African or African-American people before, were still there (A Look Back at the Black Hair Story).
Hair is an aspect of identity many women are made to confront. It is a projection of how a woman would like to be perceived and who she believes she is within her society. Black women in America face an interesting dilemma when it comes to hair. When African slaves were brought to America, they were confronted with the Eurocentric ideal of beauty, which, in addition to pale skin and Anglo Saxon facial structure, also included straightened hair. As time progressed, black people sought new ways to assimilate. Throughout the course of time many hair straightening agents such as straightening irons, perms, and hair extensions have been used to help aid black people in mimicking the hairstyles of the socially accepted white standards.

My mother always tells me that the hair color you're born with is the one that looks the best on you, and I want to make sure that there's something inside of me that's always going to be worth returning to. Maybe the house I lived in with my parents will never be home for me again. Maybe I'll fall out of touch with people I thought I was pretty close to in high school. Maybe I'll hate the way a darker brown washes me out. But I'll know that in 20 to 26 washes, I'll come back to something that I've had naturally forever, and I'll know it looks pretty good.
different from another on the same head, even more so on a different head, is what makes you unique in your own way. People tend to categorize a certain race with a certain natural hair texture. However, natural curly hair isn't a "black thing" or what defines you as a person. Natural curly hair varies through all races and genders. African American women soon realize that they must work hard to demonstrate that their hair texture does not lead to negative qualities about their identity. One way that African American women disband this stereotype is by avoiding the natural state that their hair grows. Maintaining beautiful African American natural hair is
Have you ever heard someone ask you, “is that your natural color?” Or have they said, “people will pay millions of dollars to receive that hair color!” Those are two things that natural redheads hear daily. People may be under the impression that being a redhead is just a trait, but to me, it’s more of a
When you're at the point where yanking out a strand or two out just doesn't cut it anymore, you may be tempted to run out and grab a box of hair dye. Take a moment to reconsider, though. Research has shown that the synthetic chemicals in most commercial hair dyes can be harmful to your health.
While tattoos have become more and more acceptable over the years, the question still lies on whether tattoos or any other kind of body modifications in the workplace should be allowed. It's beyond easy to make cases showing the negative impacts of discrimination against tattoos and piercings in the workplace. Plastic surgery, drawing on your eyebrows, getting fake nails, and coloring your hair are also examples of body modifications. Though not everyone agrees with or thinks they’re beautiful, employees are not told to cover up these modifications. Tattoos and piercings are purely another form of beautification and what makes each person their own unique individual. Beauty is personal.
Racism is very much still active and thriving in all parts of United States. While, it may not be as upfront and life threatening as it was back in the early 1900’s it is surprisingly still an issue we face on a day to day basis. Racism is always an extremely sensitive subject when discussed around a diverse group of individuals but does it have to be? Most white Americans tend to believe racism is a thing of the past and tend to downplay non-white Americans point of views when they speak of racial discrimination. Americans pride themselves by saying they only see one color “the human race” but why do we all have to be the same? Why can’t we all be different hues from different backgrounds and still be loved equally? While majority of public racism may have died in the 1960’s, non-whites know silent racism is very much still alive and ruining lives left and right. All Americans need to open their eyes and realize silent racism is the new racism and its affecting non-whites in all areas, the most damaging being racial profiling and discrimination in the workplace.
There are two different type of pigment that make your hair into to what it looks like one of them is eumelanin and another one is pheomelanin. Pheomelanin is the hair color orange and red, all humans has some sort of this in their hair Which is why there are different variants of brown and black
On the other hand, classic companies such as Clairol, Dark & Lovely and L’Oreal still offer the majority of the natural hair colors that one can buy in a store such as Wal-Mart. These companies can have a productive future as long as they are able to keep up with all other forms of competition. As to my current knowledge, none of these companies offer outrageous colors such as Pillarbox Red, or AfterMidnight. Sticking to the traditional colors is not a bad thing because there is still a business in natural hair colors. People still like to color their hair so it looks like the color they used to have or a lighter or darker shade of the color they presently have. The largest group to purchase hair color products in the older generation is women. They might do this because they see grey coming in or are trying a new look out.
Why do people treat differently to someone if that person is from the different culture or has different skin color? Racism is the major issues today and it still exists in our schools, works, and society. Racism at the workplace is responsible for continuous mood changes, aggressive behavior, and have a bad feeling in the minds of the affected persons. This turn bad for the employer and the society. Everyone has right to do something so why do people become races. Today it was better than years ago but still, racism exists in the United States and other countries.
At the moment I ask myself, why are these schools dictating these kids hairstyles? Why can’t a boy dye his hair pink or have his hair over his collar, there is no real reason for this. You should not be able to dictate these different hairstyles for the exact reason that we have our amendments and laws that give us the freedom we rightly deserve. Also, there are some boys who might have their hair long and you call that a violation, there is nothing wrong with a boy having his hair long. You, judging someone with long hair is like judging someone with curly hair, they both are just natural hairstyles.
