the bantu knot experiment

My coworker came to work the previous week with a faux-hawk/fro-hawk: cornrows in the direction of the center of her head, with the rest of her 'fro loose & curly. Very cute, 'specially she looks like a model.


So, in honor of her brave style, and because I was feeling inspired...AND rebellious (in a "I hate my job" kind of way) - I decided to put the bantu knots in and dare anyone (old boss, new boss, HR) to say something to me! I just KNEW I was gonna have to choke a bich.


Hm. That so backfired. My new boss was so impressed, she wanted to see if I could do her hair. Old boss was completely non-plussed. The HR person did do a double take, then saw that my shoes & pants were also violating the dress code, and just kept it moving. He probably thinks I just don't give a flip. He'd be absolutely correct. Oh well.


I did have to head one of my former coworkers off at the pass. I was talking to another former boss and a colleague, and this guy walks up and goes: "So, is this the hairstyle, or....?" and I just cut him off before he even finished his sentence: "Yes, this is the hairstyle. Not the prelude to the hairstyle. Not the prep for the hairstyle. This is it. It'll be this way the rest of the week, if you want to take a picture. Meanwhile, I'm not taking it down." He mumbled something about it being cute, and walked off. Think I stole his thunder?


The other pics - the lighter ones, are the result of my taking it down. How cute is that? I posted both the bantu knot and the takedown instructions in flickr - click the pic or link to access it. Meanwhile, I need to come up with a more rebellious hairstyle. Sheesh...lol.
