I had an informal pseudo-job interview today and naturally I was worried about my hair and how I could make it professional. I decided on my go-to afro-puff, neatly groomed and slicked back as far as it can go considering my hair length. I went ahead and did an impromptu twist out. They were large, kinda sloppy twists because I was feeling lazy and crunched for time considering this is the day of the interview. I only did the twists to kinda stretch the hair and maybe give some definition to my afro-puff. I usually leave my twists in overnight at least but today I didn't. When I took the twists out I actually liked the chunky twist out look. The curls weren't super-defined since I did them kind of big and didn't leave them in for long but somehow it was kind of cute. I thought about braving it and wearing my hair out in my chunky twist out to the interview. I knew it was a risk and not something I normally try.
I got dressed, put on my makeup and by that time, it was too late to try to change my hairstyle anyway. And I still liked it. Even if it didn't look 100% super professional, the rest of my look did. I made sure my clothes were perfectly pressed and put together. I'd say it's a success. I didn't feel self-conscious about it like I normally would and no one stared at my hair and or scoffed at it so I don't think I got any points off for having messy hair. I think it looked kinda cool. This is a step forward in my hair journey. I think I'm getting more confident in flaunting my kinky hair in all kinds of company. Kudos for me :)
