Unless you post a pic of yourself, those links don't help much because it depends on how YOU make it look... Some guys look dirty with it while other guys look hot with it. If you look more dirty than hot then it's not professional.

hot = professional?

hot = subjective?

[eaeaea]

Haha, well it's my definition for it... as in.. if it looks hot... it tends to look clean. As oppose to

dirty= non-professional. You can't look professional when you look like you need a bath.

I think it's fine.

It's never professional, I've never seen it on someone who didn't look like a clown

if you are one of those snazzy black guys than yeah I think they're freaking awesome.

If it's neat I'm sure it won't be viewed as unprofessional, but I don't like it. Clean shaven is always best.

I will say that style looks best on black guys.
