True story - my mom and grandma have curly hair. My grandma had always gotten shit at jobs for her hair. When she finally got a union job, she wore a straight wig for her entire probationary period (a few months?) ad then the day after her probation was up, she wore her real hair to work and they couldn't say a damn…

I’m so tired of my curly hair not being “nice” or “professional” enough. It’s so ridiculous that curly hair has some kind of weird value attached to it.

Reading the article, the guy is an asshole. He was willing to compromise for her only needing to have straight hair for 4 hours at each competition. That is a whole night of work for her and would ruin her hair. That isn’t a compromise, ass.

As a fellow curlyhead...
