Big Hair For the Office
I get into work today and my boss looks at me and says, “What happened to you last night? Your hair is all big and flipped over” (see picture of me to the left). The truth is I was in bed by 11 pm watching the olympics. (Go Team U-S-A!) We all know big hair is hard to tame but for meetings and interviews, it’s important to know how. BellaSugar did a great post today on professional hair and makeup. Here’s what they had to say:
Hair: Keep it Simple
- Wash and dry your hair the night before the interview. By getting that out of the way, you’ll save time the day of the big event.
- If your hair is long, consider pulling it back in a ponytail. This way, you won’t be tempted to absentmindedly fiddle with it.
- Even if you don’t use hair spray every day, a light dusting of it will keep flyaways at bay.
- Don’t wear a hat as part of your ensemble. If you need a hat to keep yourself warm, remove it before entering the building, and peek into a mirror to remove any traces of hat head. (We don’t really have this problem in Miami)
- Skip the flashy hair accessories.
- Keep your hair out of your face at all costs. Long bangs falling into your eyes are sexy for a date, but they won’t project a professional image. If you need to get them out of your face, using a simple barrette or bobby pin is a fine solution.
