It's become a frequent topic of conversation these days. Kinks and curls are becoming the new straight and it not a smooth transition in the Corporate world, some black women still face challenges because they are "natural". An reporter in the States even documented her "big chop". Natural hair headlines (no pun intended) :-) has gotten a lot of attention.
