It's all about courage, Sistah. The courage to grow into who U need to be. If u're workplace consists of ignoramuses who will not accept u're natural hair, maybe u need to work on finding a better, more enlightened workplace to settle into. MEANwhile, u're hair. I'm not sure where U live, but contact the following hairstylist by mail, and hopefully she will be able to advise u:

Good luck! The transition period doesn't have to be all that bad. Just braid and oil u're hair a lot. Go to a natural haircare specialist if u can, and mentally ward off all the -Energy Blackfolk will try 2 give u because of their own ignorance and fears. Refuse 2 accept it. And be free 2 be u! U will b amazed at how much freer u will feel once u're hair is completely natural. It's an amazing, and beautiful thing.
