Hairstyles for Professionals

The first thing that you present to a person is your appearance. While your appearance is important in almost all settings, your image is very important in the workplace. Maintaining a professional look is key to keeping and maintaining that edge in the workforce. So your hairstyle is just as equally important, it needs to be kept in a professional manner.

If you like to keep your hair on the longer side, try a hairstyle that accentuates the length. Or you can wear your long hair up, such as in a clip or hair tie, it’s an effortless yet classy look, all while maintaining that professional look and demeanor. Below are just one of the few but many ways you can style your hair as a professional at work!

The Classic Pony Tail – Fast, Easy, Effortless

The well-known ponytail has always been a girl’s best friend. It’s quick and easy. It can conceal a bad hair day. Also, it can provide a work appropriate style that isn’t going to take hours out of your day doing. The ponytail can become boring, so try bumping the ends with a curling iron or doing soft spiral curls.

Hair Bun – Air of Elegance

One of the staple hairstyles in the workforce is the bun. For women with long hair, this can be a lifesaver. It’s almost as easy as the ponytail. With little effort, this can even become an elegant style that can carry you through to a night of fun. Try using the big strands of hair instead of one to make a bigger impact with your bun.

Headbands – Appropriate for Adults

Headbands can be considered a very young styling accessory, but if you choose the right headbands, you can pull it off. Keep in mind that this should be a subtle headband and not one with big, bold designs or embellishments. Use solid colors and darker toned colors.

Braids – Suitable for All Ages

Braids are another hairstyle that can appear to be more of a childish hairstyle, but styled the right way it can be suitable for an adult. Having two pigtails might draw unapproved eyes towards you, but having unique braiding styles would be acceptable. Try braiding a ponytail, or better yet, collect all your hair into one big braid. This style keeps the hair out of your face and still keeps your hair looking good. They also make great wavy curls when you take them out.
