The Crazy Things I Heard Once I Went Natural

You’ll probably want to buy a wig for your interviews
God knows I love my mother and I know she wants the best for me but I had to tell her she was way off base with this one. By the time I was ready to graduate college she was starting to sound like my grandfather. In a shocking move, my mother, who is also natural, told me that I should “invest in a good wig” so that I could get a good job. My mom and I are close enough that I could tell her that I had no intentions of doing that. I told her I wouldn’t want to work for a place that didn’t value my work because of the way I wore my hair. Turns out my hair didn’t keep me from getting a job after all.
Are you natural? What crazy comments have people made about your hair?
