Will corporate america ever accept braids in the workplace on men?

I was just thinking with more guys wearing braids, some high figures in the entertainment industry wearing cornrows. But we all know that the corporate world is much different. Do you think that there will ever be a day this style will be accepted?

Here is an article that thinks that time will be coming.

I don't think so. There are so many guys that wear them are negative than the positive brothers who like the hair style. I don't think that it will anytime soon.

Yeah, i used to have locs but cut them out. I wish I still had them, but I think that it may have held me back a little with some job interviews. But that is not to say that we don't have many brothers out there with locs, but people still don't think that it is professional enough.
