Natural is the best.  As a white woman, I would work with whatever grows on my head and not fight it or make it something different.

I don't have an article or website to reference but I can tell you from my own personal experience as a professional black woman who transitioned from long flowing, silky hair to my natural, curly, 'nappy' hair. I once had the same thoughts as you. Would I be seen as 'professional' with my afro? Growing up (and even into adulthood) people wanted to touch my hair or commented on it like it was something from a mystical land no one had been. I decided that I am not my hair and that if I was confident in the way I looked and carried myself, people would be less likely to judge me (which is ultimately the real question). So, I took the scissors and cut that perm/relaxer right out of my hair and I became happy to be nappy. Yes, people made comments because it was a little drastic but I sported that hairdo like the Queen that I am. Over the years, I've had girlfriends ask me your exact same question. This is what I told them. It all comes down to how you see yourself, your confidence, your self-love. At the end of the day. You gotta be comfortable with you because jobs come and go but you are with you all the days of your life. Hope that helps, girlfriend. You are beautiful no matter your hairstyle choice. Stand in that truth.
