African American Hair Problems in Nursing

1 I'm not sure how many people can help me with this problem but here it is. I can't keep up with my relaxed hair and want to get box braids for low maintenance . There are other people at my job that have box braids; however, I got an interview with my dream job. I'm worried that is I get box braids that I'll look unprofessional. So would it be ok if I went to the interview with the braids or keep my hair relaxed till I landed the job?
Hmm...As someone who has been on interviews with a myriad of hairstyles, but is all too aware of the employer's market, I would say to get the braids once you get the position..hope you get the position!

I had twists put in my hair 5 days before I took my Nclex in October. Then I found out I passed and then thought of the same question you asked. I kept them in for 7 weeks while waiting for my actual license. BF was mad cuz he paid for them but I thought to myself my first impression for my first ever nursing job interview has to be damn near perfect. Plus 7 weeks is a long enough time anyway. My opinion, hold off until after you get the job. You never know, the person interviewing might have an issue with it. Here I am still waiting for an interview.
