Interview hair?

[ringstrue]

My hair is longer now and I'm less confident on how to do it up "professionally" - especially while wearing a suit. Are there any rules of thumb for interview hair besides keeping it neat and tidy? I feel a lot of the time I just end up making myself look too young or too bitchy and not very "career woman" ish.

If you have long hair and it's not very curly, I don't believe anyone could go wrong with a low, neat ponytail.

Umm... me I have long, straight hair but it's fine and when I do the low ponytail it just looks like some kind of scraggly animal tail.

For me, interview hair would be worn down and away from my face.

When's the interview? Having seen your hair in person (okay, that's weird) you're fine with a neat pony tail. This might sound weird, but are there photos of the employees on their website? Maybe take a look to see how some of the women there present themselves.

hmmm no I haven't seen any employee pics.

It's today at 4! I'm hella nervous. Who schedules an interview then!? The only good thing is that DH and DD have colds and I'm on the countdown to getting it myself and if I had to wait until Monday or Tuesday I'd probably be gross as well.

I hate my hair in a low pony tail I feel like I look like a young George Washington. Maybe if I didn't have such an odd perception of myself this would be easier, lol.

The low-pony idea would work well I think. Just keep it simple and classic. A slick french twist would be ok too. (Not prom poofy).

My stuff is curly, but I put it in a bun on HAB's rec. I got compliments on the look & the job.

Either way, good luck!

How about a sock bun? I think those look really nice and tidy.
