My hair is my pride yet does not define me My curls are a part of me but they aren’t me The sentence goes “Bugs has an Afro” not “The Afro is wearing the girl” If I want to extend it I will. If I want to cut it I will. Never will I straighten it, tie it up, or relax it for people who cannot handle my curls at full volume. For these people I wear my Afro. I wear my space buns, my crochet braids, my shaved head. The only thing unprofessional is your 19th century attitude and prejudice opinions. It is a work place not a plantation.
