Natural Hair and the Corporate World (continued)/ Transition Style Update

I'm kinda pissed right now .. well not pissed .. but extremly annoyed .. Yesterday we were told that Locs were not acceptable in the workplace .. ok cool... i got over that .. BUTTT this morning at my training session they informed us that most locations where we was suppoesed to be assigned to work (ex. hotels, boats, business offices) .. dont allow locs, BRAIDS, OR KINKY TWISTSSS!!! .. and if they do .. you can only worlk in the back.. WHAT THE HELL?! I scheduled an appointment to get my twists this saturday .. and now im forced to cancel that because I dont want to limit my experience..... a guest speaker even went as far to tell the ladies to RELAX THEIR HAIR! Your LOCS TWISTS AND BRAIDS DONT JUST GET UP OFF YOUR HEAD AND DO YOU WORK FOR YOU .. YOU DO ... thats my five cents .. im just sayin.











In other news.. I tried the bantu knots again .. they were really cute this mornin .. but this evening .. i looked like a crack head .. here's some photos from this mornin ..

dnt knw why it looks so short here ... looks like i got a BC lol

Locs at work

So i know this topic has been discussed alot.. but it was just brought to my attention .. at my job orientation yesterday.. my question is if you keep locs clean and looking nice .. why is it to un acceptable in certain businesses....In certain hotels where i come from (the bahamas) they do not hire guys with locs in their hair .. when the guy asked the guest speaker why is it that locs that are kept clean is not acceptable .. she answered by saying that most people view those with locs as rastas and all the negative practices that a rasta is involved with (no offense to anyone) my point is when is is classified as discrimination?? if your rules and regulations handbooks assure you that you will be treated equally .. why is it that people make these exceptions? and if there are exceptions then why doesnt it list them. does this happen is the US too? Let me know what you think...

To BC or not to BC?

ok so im just about fed up with this transition .... all the style i've been trying lately havent been working out and i dnt know if i could deal woth this any moree .. i've been transitioning for almost 6 months .. but im afriaid if i BC now i wont like it .. what do you guys think... here's some pics.

my edges are pretty much gone due to the braids that I had in October.. oh yeah .. n any idea what curl pattern?

Natural Hair Inspiration (Nerissa Irving)

She has got to be one of my favorite natural models.. her locs are WICKKEDDD!! Actually has me thinking about getting locs haha.. All i know about her is that she's a native of Jamaica and she relocated to the US (New York) at the age of three! From the looks of it she's pretty talented!
