Im tired of letting my fear of being “unprofessional” restrict the way I present myself. Even though I have no tattoos and only ear piercings, I worry about cutting my hair in an unconventional style. My hair is still a natural color.
I’m already compromising by choosing not to dye my hair, shave my eyebrows, or whatever other fashion whims would make me happy. While I rationalize that I don’t want to deal with the upkeep, let’s be real.
Even when I worked food service jobs I was scared to dye my hair bc the importance of remaining professional at all times was beaten in to me. As if I was going to have a surprise job interview where the only criteria is my appearance.
How do y’all challenge this kind of thinking in your own life?
