But we are the only ones who actually "need" it. It is not just a style, for me at least, it is a requirement for my hair to protect it. No cornrows means I can't braid my hair and its too hot for wigs
I don't think that we (black women or men) "need" to wear our hair in any particular way. Some of us "choose" to wear braids as a PS. There are other protective styles to consider. Wigs, buns, phony ponies are just some examples. If you choose to work there then you conform to what their ideal employee would look like. If not, you wear your braids and risk reprimand or simply find different store to work in.
