Should Head Wraps be Worn in the Workplace?

0

Many of us naturals have struggled with the way our hair should be worn in the workplace, but what about head wraps and turbans? Is there an appropriate way to wear them or should they even be allowed in the office at all? I’ll be the first to admit that I was against this whole idea of head wraps in the office, unless it carried a religious meaning. Actually, I wasn’t even really excited, at first, to be writing this article since I had such a strong opinion about it being prohibited.

The reason behind my initial opinion was it would just make things a bit more complicated and open the door for other articles of clothing to be considered, cultural or otherwise. If workplaces started permitting head wraps and turbans, would that then mean people could wear hats and beanies too? Hats are for fashion/style (and covering bad hair days) and a lot of people wear turbans and head wraps as a fashionable piece as well, not just for cultural purposes. What about hair bonnets and scarves or dramatic fascinators? Yes, these were all the questions that went through my mind.

I decided that I needed opinions from others though so I could try and keep an objective viewpoint. I posed the question in my group chat and the response was 50/50. Two of my friends were for head wraps/turbans in the office and the other two were against it. The two who were for it pretty much gave the same reasons I did above. They agreed that if it wasn’t a cultural obligation, they should not be allowed. One of the two who were in favor said she feels that black/brown people should get some leeway. She admitted that this was a bias reason but also said that it’s not hurting anyone or stopping/slowing down work production so who cares? My other friend feels that Corporate America disparages any and all things Black, therefor banning head wraps in the office. I was still holding on strong to my opinion at this time and then that same friend sent me a text suggesting I include the fact that in the 1800’s, black and multiracial women were ordered to wear head wraps so that wewouldn’t ‘tempt’ white men. I thought that was an interesting fact and, although I didn’t fully understand it, I was intrigued. My friend being the factual person she is, followed up with an article from Black Girl Long Hair (BGLH). The article,  was interesting and very enlightening. I never knew that during those times, there was such a “law” in place, BUT the fact I loved the most was that they wanted us to keep our hair in head wraps because we were getting too much attention with our creative and fabulous hairstyles, but that didn’t stop us! We started tying the wraps in elaborate ways which gained even more attention than our hair and in the end, we were STILL fabulous. Can’t stop us!

This now brings me to my revised opinion on head wraps/turbans in the workplace. Although I still believe this could open up a new can of worms, I am all for it! After reading that article, I think head wraps show a sense of pride and beauty and how resourceful we can be. Being able to wear our natural hair or rock a beautiful wrap is something to be proud of and feel confident in, in and out of the workplace. It’s expressive and keeps the spirit of those beautiful women before us alive.

Wearing these may ruffle some feathers, but who cares! “Well behaved women seldom make history.”  – Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

What do you think ladies?

    I wear a headwrap everyday. I wrap for a quasi religious reason so I feel like I can post, since it’s not 100% religious. If the wrap is low key, I see no problem with it. I been at the same job since before I started wrapping. So my boss and I have experienced my transition. Big monster Badu wraps can be distracting. At the end of the day, the employee knows the culture of the office. And there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything.

    Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome.

    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web
    browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.

    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Thanks

    For that reason, we’ll be breaking down the cars with the most brutal top speeds that GTA 5 has to offer in this guide to ensure that you’ll stand the very best chance of beating your friends or setting the best race times. Like real-life Italian supercars, Itali RSX is quite expensive – it costs $3,465,000, which makes it one of the most expensive vehicles in GTA Online. Grotti Italy RSX came with a 1.52 Cayo Perico Heist patch in December 2020.  For a long while, the Ocelot Pariah boasted the highest top speed of any regular car in the game, which is why it was a top choice. While it doesn’t hold that crown anymore, falling to the Weevil Custom that appeared earlier on this list, it’s still a great choice and one of the best cars in the game. The Pariah is based on the Aston Martin V12 Zagato and the Ferrari 812 Superfast. It has a top speed (after being fully upgraded) of 218.87 KMPH.

    In chess, once the King is threatened, it is placed in \”check.\” The player with the King in danger must use the next move to either move it on the chess board, attack the threatening chess pieces, or block it to get out of \”check.\” Failure to do so could signal the end of the chess game with the King being placed in \”checkmate,\” meaning that it is impossible to avoid an attack on the King and the player who places the King in this position wins the game of chess online.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
    it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2
    images. Maybe you could space it out better?
