Hey guys - does anyone have recommendations for Indian wavy 5x5 or 6x6 closures? I was going to order off of Amora Renae (https://www.amorarenaecollection.co/product/thin-swiss-lace-5x5-closure/) but they aren’t restocking. I’m still getting bundles from them, but clueless on another solid company that would have matching hair (friend is making me a wig bc of a natural hair crisis I’m having, I’m absolutely clueless when it comes to anything like this)!

I feel like it's a lot to take em out for one day in the office. If you can simply put your hair in a bun I'd do that. If you're client facing they might think it's an issue but really if you can get em into a bun I'd just do that I'm really over the stripping yourself to go to work. Like...we still bout to do the work. Ugh. Good luck sis
I wore beads to the office last month. I liked the style and didn't feel like changing it to go into the office for one day. Do whatever makes you comfortable
Beads? Girl.. take them out and just wear the braided or whatever style without beads
This isn’t even about Black hair and crown act. I would say the same to a white woman who wanted to wear small butterfly clips (for example) all throughout her hair. Cute but not for work
Pwc2, I already thought this woman was ratchet based on my interactions with her and then after months of working with her I went out to their offices and saw her teeth and I was like what the actual fuck….
Leave them if you believe it won't cause a distraction to others when communicating with them. If you have bright bright colors or a ridiculous jingle when performing basic tasks, take them out. If not, you should be fine.
We talkin full blown 1999 Serena Williams beads? If so I would take them out.
If just black beads on the end of your braids, I’d leave it in.
Beads? Sis take that out.
Take them out please.
Whatever you are comfortable with sis! #CrownAct
A lot of these responses are about how we want the world to and not how it actually is
Idk something about beads at work doesn’t sit right in my black woman soul 😩😩 #takethemout
Can u send like a similar pic bc I’m having difficulty picturing a grown woman with beads.
You're on the internet and can't picture this? Weird.
Something like this
Girl, wear the beads!! The quality of your work and your professionalism have absolutely nothing to do with your hairstyle and/or hair accessories. If a white man can walk into the company he OWNS looking like he just rolled out of a tent on the side of the road (I’ve seen it), you can wear those beads. PERIOD. 🤗
This wouldn’t be an issue at my org. I can’t speak for Big 4. Culture is very different…but there is nothing wrong with this. Sorry you even have to stress on this one…
I agree.
I would take them out, especially if you are client serving.
Beads or braids? If just braids why not leave them in? Not loving the “respectability politics” in these responses
Also a consultant who wears braids and it’s nbd
I would take them out
Take them out. You have time
Here is a thought….reading some of the responses I’m wondering if sometimes as black women we are perpetuating some of the same euro centric bs on others because of the wounds and scars some of us have endured? The reality is that not everyone will like ANY Afro centric hairstyle —- braids, beads or not but typically it’s not career ending…Are we more stressed about it than they (white people) are because of previous scars? It reminds me of when older black folks really discouraged young people from speaking out or wearing Afros in the 60s bc it could be perceived as radical. Sometimes we can be more discouraging and our own worst enemy. If you have to go to work worry about making a career ending move over a few black beads at the end of freaking hair your working for the wrong company. But sometimes we perpetuate and treat each other just as bad as the folks we say we are trying to protect ourselves from.
You’re absolutely right. The same people sayin “take them out” are the ones that have been the most traumatized.
🗣 Take em out
I say take them out. You don’t want beads to be your first and lasting impression.
Why not
LEAVE THEM
