Hi, all. I'm dragging this over from the Hair Talk forum because, well, someone has to break the ice.
In my opinion, very long hair should not be worn down with a business suit. I think the two looks clash, and the result is not professional looking.
Hair that's a few inches past the shoulders....maybe. But I think waist length hair should be pulled back or up when worn with a suit.
Opinions?

With perhaps an occasional exception, in general, I agree wtih you. The reason -- the hair draws attention away from the person and to the hair. It's the same reason one wouldn't wear fishnet stockings and a mini-skirt to the boardroom! You want the focus to be on your work, not your appearance. Obviously, appearance is important! But not as the *focial* point in a business situation. That's when women aren't taken seriously. It may appear that they're spending more spend on how they look rather than how they work. Of course, it isn't always true, but in a situation like that, it's better to blend in a bit rather than stand out, *except* for your actual work!
