When you'd ask someone on the street about women with natural hair, many people have a lot of preconceived notions: We're all hippy-dippy, tofu-eating, no shaving, bohemian Earth Mamas....
The reality? Some of us are.... but just some of us. Truth be told, there is not ONE WAY to be natural. Just like there is not one way to be black, or blonde, or redhead, or female!!
What stereotype about women with natural hair needs to be dead and buried?!? Leave a comment and sound off!

Yes, definitely!!!!! I believe I have encountered that a few times when applying for jobs! I hope as natural hair becomes more mainstream that I won't have to face it, however I love being the person who shatters that false belief!
