I’m just reading this post now for the first time. Although I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my natural hair, as ignorant as it was for that editor to make that statement, unfortunately, many in the corporate world have that view. I often wear my hair as an afro, twistouts, bantu knots, etc., but if I were going to a job INTERVIEW, I prefer to be seen with either braids or a wig. Because I don’t know what INNER prejudices are within an interviewers mind, I don’t want my hair to be the make or break it decision behind it. If it takes me wearing braids to get in the door, then so be it. It’s all a matter of presentation. Once I get in the door, it’s natural hair all the way.

simone Don’t let other people’s opinion get you down, they are wrong. Be proud of your heritage. You must love what you see in the mirror or nobody else will. Its all about confidence and self love. You gave some excellent device to rachael, I’m shocked by yours earlier remarks about your hair.

Jane it is no more easy to go natural working and living around non-black people than black people. It is how deeply you feel about it. The more I learned about myself, history, roots, culture,ancestors and race, it became easier and easier. The feed back was negative and positvie but I made a decision and stuck with it.

Sumatra77 No because hair represents different things to different people. Some woman know that your hair is your holyness and you should treat it as such. I would never do anything to mine that would damage it. However I don’t judge people based on thier hair. Some woman take thier hair seriouly, some don’t.
