   Thanks guys!!!
   @ Oldinem… I find that taking care of my hair gets harder as my job gets more stressful. And unfortunately my job is often very, very stressful.

    I understand. But I meant do you feel like you’re perceived as less professional or have to work harder to be taken seriously because your hair?

    Thanks everyone!

    @ Oldinem… Oh, lol!! Well no, I don’t think I was perceived as less professional. I will say that I didn’t feel the freedom to do a full on knot-out or twist-out at work. I don’t think it would have been appropriate. But I did buns and some half-up/half-down styles that were fine.

    Reporters are a motley-looking crew anyway. With all the running around there isn’t a ton of emphasis placed on neatness/stylishness. Especially in smaller cities/counties
