===Contemporary hairstyles=== [[File:Ramon nomar.jpg|thumb|upright|Man with styled hair, 2011]] The challenges to social norms for hair in the 1960s onward alongside the more accessible hair dyes allowed for a variation in hairstyles to emerge.<ref name=":0" /> In the contemporary world, women and men can choose from a broad range of hairstyles. But they are still expected to wear their hair in ways that conform to gender norms: in much of the world, men with long hair and women whose hair does not appear carefully groomed may face various forms of discrimination, including harassment, social shaming or workplace discrimination.<ref>{{cite book |last=Weitz |first=Rose |url=https://archive.org/details/rapunzelsdaughte00weit |title=Rapunzel's Daughters: What Women's Hair Tells Us About Women's Lives |publisher=Farrar, Straus and Giroux |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-374-24082-0}}</ref> This is somewhat less true of African-American men, who wear their hair in a variety of styles that overlap with those of African-American women, including [[box braids]] and [[cornrows]] fastened with rubber bands and dreadlocks.<ref>{{cite book |last=Banks |first=Ingrid |url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780814713372 |title=Hair matters: beauty, power, and Black women's consciousness |publisher=NYU Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-8147-1337-2 |location=New York}}</ref> In the 1980s, women pulled back their hair with [[scrunchie]]s, stretchy ponytail holders made from cloth over fabric bands. Women also often wear glittery ornaments today, as well as claw-style [[Hair clip|barrettes]] used to secure [[ponytail]]s and other upswept or partially upswept hairstyles.<ref name="sherrow2" /> The 1980s in America also were a time of noted turmoil between hair choices. Tensions arose particularly between hair choices from women of color, and the workplace as noted by court cases such as ''[[Rogers v. American Airlines (1981)|Rogers v. American Airlines]]'' which upheld employers rights to ban certain hairstyles in the workplace, notably braided hairstyles. Additional instances of USPS, hotel chains, police departments and another industries banning hairstyles common within the Black American community such as braids, colored hair, and dreadlocks from the workplace during this period.<ref name=":2" />
