My black girl hair problems

        Hey its me again! I decided to take a break from finals and vent.  Well recently i decided to go natural. To be precise it was on 09-29-2011. Now the term going natural varies from person to person. But to me going natural means allowing your hair to grow into its natural state. Which means no perms, texturizers, and pressing. So on that day  I believe I was about to attend a wedding and I went to the bathroom and chopped my hair all off.
       I received a mixture of reactions from different people. My parents and other African parents absolutely hated it. But from my friends and classmates they loved it. Now I'm usually not swede by people opinion but the opinion that swede me the most was that of corporate America.
       You I see I work in a predominatly white pharmacy and let say they are not the most racial tolerate. Or should I say culturally tolerate. So I decided to assimilate into mainstream america, which is wearing wigs and sew-ins so I wouldn't look off going to work. A part of me hated this idea because I felt good about my natural hair. Then the other part of me realizes that corporate america has not gotten to that point yet. I instantly remember my cousin who is in law school and he had dreads and he told me that the dean told him that the dreads had to go! What is a girl to do?
