That's exactly what's happening. Doing the search from the article of "unprofessional hair for work" brings up images with headlines like "It's ridiculous to say that black women's hair is unprofessional". (In addition to now bringing up images from that article itself and other similar articles comparing Google Images searches.)

You’re getting cause and effect backwards. The coverage of this changed the results, as did Google’s ensuing interventions.

I don't think so. You can set the search options to only find images published before the article, and even find some of the original images.

One image links to the 2015 article, "It's Ridiculous To Say Black Women's Natural Hair Is 'Unprofessional'!". The Guardian article on the Google results is from 2016.

Another image has the headline, "5 Reasons Natural Hair Should NOT be Viewed as Unprofessional - BGLH Marketplace" (2012).

Another: "What to Say When Someone Calls Your Hair Unprofessional".

Also, have you noticed how good and professional the black women in the Guardian's image search look? Most of them look like models with photos taken by professional photographers. Their hair is meticulously groomed and styled. This is not the type of photo an article would use to show "unprofessional hair". But it is the type of photo the above articles opted for.
