When I did debate in high school, I was told repeatedly that my long hair was "distracting" or "unprofessional", even if I wore it back. My father had also been told point-blank on a number of occasions to cut his hair, which he formerly wore long (he now keeps it quite short). So regardless of what your culture normally does, or what you personally prefer, outside influences can be a major factor in choosing a hairstyle, especially if one has distinctly "non-white" hair.<br /><br />Also, I get a lot of "Indian cred" questions from people because I do not have the stereotypically straight, black, shiny hair (neither does my father).Seadhlinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18163015321562819788noreply@blogger.com
