A lil back story: I did my second attempt at a rollerset last night to see if it would come out good enough for me to do the same style for my interview on Monday. EPIC FAIL & breakage city. My hair just doesn't like rollersets so I'm over it!
Now I don't know what to do. I pin curled it for church today but that was a last minute not-cute style. I am almost 12 weeks post so I have a lot of untamed new growth that I'm nervous about dealing with so I am debating on whether or not I should just forget it and wear my lacefront wig: quick fix but risking that if I do get hired I will presumably have to answer a lot of questions by my caucasian colleagues as to why my hair texture looks 'different than it did the other day'. I had to deal with this at my last job which made me highly uncomfortable, but seeing as though I was the only woman of color on staff, unfortunately I felt obligated to answer. Have you seen The Unwritten Rules on youtube? That was me! erplexed
Or should I risk wearing my hair out: avoiding potential stares once hired but it's also time consuming, this new growth is NOT looking presentable, and heat in the morning with blow drying etc = moving backwards. I've been doing so well with no direct heat since June.
What do you think? I'm really looking for opinions as to the pros and cons of each, this will help me to narrow down my ultimate decision. Leaning more on wearing a wig and just doing that until my next touch up in December @ 23 weeks.
