It's always been the case. Its about thinking it's "unprofessional". I work at a highschool and an administrator made a black girl shave her dreadlocks off like a decade ago.

Hair discrimination is really really common.

Natural Black hairstyles were prohibited by regulation in the US military until a few years ago. They didn't say the words natural Black hairstyles, but there were rules around hair bulk /volume and "dreadlocks" that made natural styles against the rules
