Interview hairstyles? (Black Males)

[daxlo]

Basically i'm a black male who's rocking an afro fade right now, and i'm thinking about cutting my hair a little bit for my interview friday (It's at an HBCU if that matters). I want to cut it down to something like the picture below (minus the beard). Do you guys still think this falls under the realm of professionalism?

Your mileage may vary with adcoms but I'm an old conservative guy and I see nothing wrong with the pic provided.

I'm not sure whether it's "professional", but that is a clean cut.

What would be professional on a black male in your mind? Just a ceaser?

Based on your picture I thought you were a Libertarian

Fine by me.

Govt wise? Libertarian all day...

Personal opinion of behavior and how to approach minimizing risk maximizing success in life as you are trying to get ahead and feed the family? Pretty ridiculously conservative.

Cut your hair, hide the tattoos, properly fitted pants, shined shoes, pressed shirt, color choices not too daring, drive the route the day before so know you can find it, be there an hour early so you can walk in the door 15min early, ma'am/sir to everyone, give up your seat to the ladies, open doors etc

100% OK!

The hairstyle provided is perfectly clean and acceptable.

Professional enough, but personally I dislike the straight lines at the hairline and prefer a more natural hairline (but that is just a style preference)

It looks fine.

The best option is very large afro

It looks fine.

Would a beard like this be reasonable too? Or should it be trimmed even lower?

Shaving is always a safer bet.

@gyngyn sorry to hijack this thread but would a style like the one above be fine for med interviews (minus the designs on the sides)?

Assuming you're talking about the hair and not the clothes, its fine.

Clean-cut and professional. I like it.

Thank you to you both!
