I am also a young black women who wears a natural style. At first I used to straighten it for job interviews, but now I don't even worry about it. I'm tired of people's narrow-minded idea of professionalism. Besides, like many people have been saying as long as it's groomed then it's all good.
A locked coworker was discussing his hair with me, and we discovered we both are very attached to it in a spiritual way. I can't describe it..but I'm sure those of you who dared to "give your hair back" know what I mean.
Anywho, things like this happen all the time...in the greek system, on the job, with the family (my mom wanted me to keep perming soooo badly). But I love my hair a lot more than other people's approval.
