GLW I need another curly mind on this

Jennifer0807

I have an interview today. In the past I wore my hair down, with the sides up. I am having a really curly curl day and like it. But I am debating whether o not I should wear it down.

The setting - a school that helps emotionally challenged children and I am meeting with 3 head honchos. Position I am applying for - Senior Manager

I've worn my hair down for interviews. As long as it's not in your face where you have to move it or push it back a lot, I say wear it down!

Sweet - I was looking for justification. Plus I know one of them has been on my linkedin page which has a picture of me with it down.

This reminded me of how at my old [life-sucking pit of hell of a] job, the CFO told me I should straighten my hair so that I would look professional. Gawd I hated her.

Well if they are curly biased, I wouldn't want the job.

What is that about? So freakin' rude. Curly hair is beautiful and whoever thinks it's unprofessional can shove it!

I can see someone saying that to someone like me (with my half-curly hippie hair), but I cannot imagine saying that to someone with actual curly hair. It's ridiculous!  And the fact that it was a woman is even worse - she should know better.
