You gotta play the game. Normally, my hair is in a crown twist because I'm lazy and hate straightening it.
But I always wear my hair straight for interviews (I wear my hair straight on a semi-regular basis, so it's not a big deal to me).
Black women having to straighten their hair or wear a wig for interviews is just like black men having to shave for interviews. Shit is wack, but we all know who cuts the checks. Wigs can come off and beards can grow back.
After I get through orientation though, the makeup comes off and the hair goes back to its normal state.
