QuoteReplyTopic: braids and age Posted: March 21 2002 at 11:09am
I`m 24 and in the full-time workforce for the first time. I have had long hair almost all my life, but wasn`t satisfied with it...mostly because I didn`t feel that I looked my age or that I looked professional. I knew that because I looked much younger than I am that some of the people I worked with (especially the kids in the classes I was substituting in) weren`t taking me as seriously as I wanted them to.
I got a great cut and I feel much more confident that I look my age. I feel professional and pretty.
If others often judge you to be much younger than you are you may want to go with another style for now.
If your internship will be high-profile (either you`ll be seeing higher-ups or meeting the public) you may have better success with more sophisticated styles. Otherwise, stick with what makes you feel good and look good.
Finally, unless you`re making presentations or the culture at your grad school is pretty formal, the styles you mentioned should work more than fine for class.
i think i`d only have some issues w/ the last two hairstyles, only because it`s hard to convey professionalism with pigtails/dbl braids. BUT if the workplace you`ll be in is laid back or if you`ll probably never be seen by higher-ups, then i think you can get away with wearing any hairstyle.
I`m growing my hair out and it`s finally getting long enough so I can do stuff with it! I was wondering about some hairstyles though.
My hair is dark blonde/light brown and past my chin in the back and layered a little, it touches the top of my t-shirt. In the front it`s angled a little towrds my face and also layered.
I`ll be 24 in June and starting grad. school. I just don`t want people to think that I look "odd" or something b/c I`m getting older and turning into a professional and wearing my hair a certain way. So, can you guys let me know what you think of these hairstyles?
1) I like to pull all my hair up in one of the claw type clips and have the ends in the back hang over the clip, 2) I also do this but only pull up the sides and the top section. 3) 2 french braids down the sides of my head. 4) 2 low pigtails that aren`t pulled all the way through the holder.
Thanks!!
I think I look good in all of these hairstyles, since I`m a senior in college now. I was just wondering if they were to "young" for a grad. school student and someone who was going to be doing an internship in the human services. I guess it`s kinda silly to be worried about my hair like that, but I want to make a good impression.
Oh- I wouldn`t wear my hair in those styles of a job interview, I was just thinking to my internship and school....
