Message Name: Does it really matter...
Date Posted: 07/27/2001
Message: I have an interview with a major consulting firm soon and am wondering if my hair will be 'a problem.' I'm a Black woman and I don't straighten my hair. It's not a full blown afro, but it's long enough for me to twist up into little coils, etc (think Lenny Kravtiz current style, but half the length and neater looking). I've always read and been told that non-straightened Black hair is seen as 'militant,' etc. For those of you who work in consulting or hr fields, does it really matter that much..
