Interview hair

It's interesting and liberating to think how much interview hair has changed. When I lived in Dallas when I first got married, I was the only person in my school with natural hair.

When I moved back to Dallas in 2013, I wore my hair straightened for a principal interview. As soon as I got the job, I BC'd. Now, almost NO ONE has relaxed hair anymore. I interview guys with braids, twist outs, all sorts of natural hair. No one considers it "unprofessional" and I love how much times have changed.

I know! When we were in the early days of our hair revolution up in here, it felt like we would NEVER get here. And I feel we have finally arrived!

Even my niece, who couldn't wait to get a perm when she was 13 has come full circle. Well, almost. She hasn't had a perm in over two years. She still loves her weaves and sew ins, but these days she's been opting for cornrow extensions. And she just landed a job as a personal banker after graduating from college with a business degree.

And her permed up mom? Well, she started locing six months ago, lol.
