I'll get fired.  I won't be able to get a job.  I'll have to wear a wig to interviews.
I have discovered since being natural that we tend to elevate others' opinions  Instead of getting our grown woman/man on, we allow our fears to consume us.  That’s not to say that negativity toward natural  doesn't exist, but like most things in life, it's all in how you work it and sometimes you have to compromise.  Would you wear a mini-skirt to a board meeting?  How about fish-net stockings?  Own a pair of heels?  When are they ever comfortable?  Would you wear sweat pants on a date?

My point is, we make adjustments in our appearance based on where we're going.  Where some clothing may be appropriate at the club, it's not in a work environment...unless you're a stripper.  The same goes for hair styles.  Some styles may indeed be unprofessional.  For example, some regard cornrows as unprofessional but braids are ok.  If you prescribe to this theory and are fearful of being fired, I guess you won't be wearing cornrows then.  But is that the end of the world?  You have options.  Use them.

Natural hair is as professional as you wanna make it.   Or look at it this way, if you're so professional, so together, then aren't you capable of figuring out how to "professionally" wear your hair?  Or do you only excel in endeavors that don't involve celebrating Ebony hair and skin?
