You may have heard a myth that curls aren’t professional. Indeed, some employers and schools are sending the message to women that wearing their natural hair isn’t professional and are encouraging them to straighten or flat iron it in order to meet dress code standards. We think that’s a whole lot of ridiculous and want our curlies to know that however you choose to rock your curls is the right way! If you do work for a company that requires a little stricter dress code, here are some suggestions for styles that will make sure your curls are on point whether it’s in the boardroom or the lunchroom.
