Young Blonde Girl With Cornrows Hairstyle And Green Stockings On The Wooden Swing On Ropes

In the Asian tradition, Mixed Martial Arts fighters with long hair also often sport the cornrow hairstyle during matches to protect the hair from being ripped off while grappling.
Criticism
Over the years, cornrows, along with dreadlocks, have been the subject of several disputes in the American workplace. Some employers have deemed them unsuitable for the office and have banned them – sometimes even terminating employees who have worn them. African American employees and civil rights groups have countered that such attitudes evidence racial and cultural bias. Some such disputes have resulted in litigation.
