Maybe you should go back to straight hairstyles because....

Hello my people. I have some great news ---I have been promoted to Call Center Supervisor. I am very excited and looking forward to getting things moving. While being asked to take this position, my natural hair did come up in conversation. Not negative --more of I like your hair. I like that you are natural. Before he said that comment, I didn't even think about my hair and being in management. After he said the comment, I didn't think about my hair or if it would hinder my progress with the company. Yesterday, I had a lot of errands to run and didn't have too much time to do my hair so I threw on a wig. I bought this wig for my 30th birthday. It wasn't so much of I don't want to deal with my hair but rather I wanted something different just for the day. So I'm wearing this yesterday and someone who hadn't seen it saw me in the wig and liked it. They then said "Do you think that maybe you should go back to straight hair since you're now a supervisor?" I shook my head, said no but then for stepped back for a moment and thought about it. Honestly, my next move which has been plan all along is to get my locs. Love of locs and how they look has been the motivation to go back to natural. All of my reading and research about going back to natural -I have fallen in love with some hairstyles that I've seen but if I'm getting locs, will that make a difference? I am still going to get them but it's got me wondering? Hmmm....
