currently my hair is natural and just to save the potential drama, i slap some gel in it and pull it back. i too am nervous about people's viewpoints in the workplace. but while im looking for the job, i rather be as conservative as possible and then pull out the big fro after i get the gig.
its sad that hair is still an issue for some folks,.

Be it that they already have their jobs and I'm trying to get in the door, I'm nervous that people view my hair negatively.... This article is distressing....
