I don't think there's a clear answer as to what Google SHOULD show for "unprofessional hairstyles." The article shows a screenshot of it showing a lot of normal-looking black women with natural hair, which of course shouldn't be considered unprofessional. But it's definitely true that society has a racist approach to black women's hair, and doesn't consider it "beautiful" unless it's straightened. Hence nearly all famous black women straighten their hair.
Should Google show black women's natural hair in the results for "unprofessional hairstyles" to accurately reflect society's unfair attitudes towards black women's hair? Or should they show actual unprofessional hairstyles like giant mohawks etc.? Or should they show a message saying "No hairstyle is unprofessional. Be who you want to be."?
