Work and the natural hair

I've been looking every where for professional hairstyles that match my hair length but I just can't seem to find any that I can do myself. If I haven't mentioned it I got a job I was going for and its in a doctors office. I've been wearing weaves lately as a protective style and its a style that I love. I'm going to try an add a picture so anyone reading can see. 

I'm excited for this new position, its something completely new to me and I can't wait to see if its something I could love. While I'm growing out my hair I feel less attractive not because people say short hair isn't sexy which I believe it can be, I don't feel as attractive with short hair. My best friend is like a sister to me and she hates doing her hair and had her husband shave it off one day and she looked amazing. I wish I could carry that look and feel beautiful but I know that I would be depressed and feel so very unattractive. 

Like I've said before I'm loving my decision to go natural and I wouldn't change it for the world but I do wish I had more length. The shrinkage is what's kicking my ass. This journey has made me realize a few things about myself. I'm beautiful no matter what my hair looks like. I grew up being teased because of my hair and wanting to be like everyone else I damaged it repeatedly because I didn't know how to take care of it. I'm glad that my hair has been so forgiving and I'm going to do right by it this time. Relaxed or natural just be happy with you. Others will try to beat you down but don't let them. 

Some (not all) naturals and non naturals are being ignorant against each other. I've heard arguments for both sides and I don't knock anyone for their decision. I saw a special on tv the other day with women saying weaves are evil, and I'm thinking that's right the devil created weaves just to trap people (note sarcasm). Ignorance is a powerful thing. Yes I'm pro natural but that's for me not for the world. I want everyone to see beauty in themselves. My next post will probably only be a few pictures of hairstyles.
